                             ==========
                             CSfix v1.0
                             ==========

SYNOPSIS
   Allows ComicSetter (by Gold Disk) to run under OS 3.x.
   Should also work under OS 2.x, but I haven't tested that.

DESCRIPTION
   ComicSetter has a bug which does not reveal itself under OS 1.3.
   The bug has to do with improper de-allocation and re-allocation
   of screen memory during SAVE.  The symptom is that after a SAVE,
   the screen colours are all mixed up.  This is usually followed
   very quickly by a system crash.

   CSfix patches the FreeMem() and AllocMem() calls and compensates
   for the bug.

   The complete source code is included.

QUICK SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
   Drag the FixedComicSetter and CSfix icons to the drawer that
   contains your ComicSetter program.  (If you're running ComicSetter
   from the original floppy, please make a backup first).

   Then double-click on the FixedComicSetter icon to start ComicSetter.

   NOTE: When run this way, ComicSetter will not create icons for
   the comics you create.  If that bothers you, use the "explicit
   invocation from Workbench" method described below.

EXPLICIT INVOCATION FROM WORKBENCH
   Before starting ComicSetter, double-click on the CSfix icon.
   A transient window displays a message confirming that CSfix
   has been installed.  After exiting from ComicSetter, you may
   remove CSfix by double-clicking on its icon again.  Leaving
   CSfix installed doesn't do any harm but may slow down your
   system a little.

EXPLICIT INVOCATION FROM CLI
   At the CLI prompt type:
      Run CSfix install   -- to install
      Run CSfix quit      -- to remove
      Run CSfix           -- to install, or remove if already installed.

TESTING
   This is CSfix version 1.0 (January 1995).  This is a beta release.
   It has been tested on an A4000/030 with OS 3.0 and ComicSetter 1.0A.
