- This assembler program does exactly that, for all those who want to
- be able to switch ``on demand''. Maybe I'll hack AVAILDEV into it
- later on.
-
- If you lack assembler, I can mail you the binary, or maybe post it;
- first I have to learn how to use uuencode on this beastie. . .

- The following refers to changing the switch character with the

- I ran the enclosed Turbo Pascal 3.0 program on my ITT Xtra with
- DOS 2.11 and it ran just fine. I guess hacking through problems
- with debug just doesn't cut it :-).
-
- BTW, the Xtra seems to be quite compatible with IBM PC/XTs. Every
- piece of software that I have tried on it has run with no problems
- and that includes some which have not run on a friend's Compaq.
