Subject: new simtel20 files

Hi,

The following Z80 Turbo Pascal files have been added to simtel20:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.TURBOPAS>
HELPPAT.DOC.1                  ASCII     3301  09BEH
PATCH.PAS.1                    ASCII     3297  550BH
SAMPLPAT.PAS.1                 ASCII     1583  17D5H

The file HELPPAT.DOC shows how to patch Z80 Turbo Pascal versions 1.0
and 2.0 with DDT so that the error message file is automatically
loaded without asking the user.

The program PATCH.PAS allows you to write Turbo programs that access
the CP/M command tail.  Turbo (as written) clobbers the command tail;
this patch program is run on a .COM file to move the tail to a "safe"
location.  It also dummies out some terminal initialization that .COM
files automatically do.

SAMPLPAT.PAS is a sample program showing how your program code must be
modified to use PATCH.PAS.  It also provides documentation for PATCH.PAS.
