The .BAT and .PAT files in this ARC are intended to automate the
upgrading of Qfonedit 3.00 to Qfonedit 3.01, fixing three reported
bugs (detailed below).
To use these files, place copies of QFONEDIT.COM and QFONEDIT.000 in
the current directory. If you are using the enhanced version of
Qfonedit, place QFONEDIT.HLP and QFONEDIT.CNF in the current directory
also. (The repair procedure does not operate on QFONEDIT.HLP, but
tests for that file to determine which version you are using. Please
note that "fooling" the procedure into applying the enhanced version's
patch to the bbs version will result in a program which will not run.)
Place the file QF300PAT.BAT in any convenient directory. From the DOS
prompt, type
QF300PAT [debug] [patch]
but for "[debug]" substitute the drive and directory of the DOS
program DEBUG.COM, and for "[patch]" substitute the drive and
directory of the QF300*.PAT files (if not the current directory).
(Please end the path in a \ character. Use ".\" for the current
directory if that's where DEBUG.COM is, and the QF300*.PAT files are
elsewhere.)
If QF300PAT.BAT can't locate a required file or has some other problem
working, it should report what the problem is, and stop. (Appearance
of a DOS error message, "Access denied", indicates that one of the
Qfonedit files is a read-only file. Use the DOS ATTRIB command to
remove the read-only attribute, by typing ATTRIB -R QFONEDIT.*.)
During its operation, DEBUG.COM will echo it's input/output to a file
named QF300PAT.LOG.
After QF300PAT.BAT has finished, you should find the files
QF301BBS.COM and QF301BBS.000 in the current directory, if you are
using the bbs version, or QF301ENH.COM, QF301ENH.000 and perhaps
QF301.CNF, if you are using the enhanced version.
If you have any problems with this procedure, please contact me.
Please include a printout of QF30OPAT.LOG, if the file was created.
The bugs:
Under some uncommon circumstances, a character in a password was
saved as "0" rather than the proper character. (Reported by Tim
McPherson.)
In the Editor, going from the Number field to the Name field by
CursorLeft left only the Number keys live, rather than restoring
the Name keys. (Doing ShiftTab or Enter, etc., to the start of
the Name field restored the proper keys.) (Reported by Rainer von
Saleski.)
Also in the Editor, Backspace did not work in the second column
of the Number field. (Not reported elsewhere.)
