FIX43 by Mark Adler Pasadena, CA 1988.
FIX43.COM is a resident utility to adjust the cursor position on an EGA
in 43 line mode (as supported by NANSI.SYS and other programs). The
programs FIX43ON.COM and FIX43OFF.COM are used in batch files to turn on
and off the function of FIX43 for those programs that already handle the
cursor properly (like Turbo C).
It works by checking to see if the EGA is in an 8x8 character mode at
every timer tick (18.2 times a second). If so, it will set the cursor
start and end lines according to whether the current cursor is a block
or line (typically used to indicate insert mode).
FIX43 does not check to see if it is already installed, so do not
install it more than once. The only harm that will come if you do, is
that FIX43ON and FIX43OFF will only affect the first copy loaded.
Feel free to send any problems with or comments on FIX43 to:
