Subject: dBase Overlay file locations

To  set  the  drive where dBase looks for its overlay and  message  files 
there are two locations to patch. In version 2.03 there are two prototype 
file control blocks, which look like:

42cc    00 44 42 41 53 45 4d 53 47 43 4f 4d   .DBASEMSGCOM
42ed    00 44 42 41 53 45 20 20 20 4f 56 52   .DBASE   OVR
 
Changing 42cc and 42ed to 03 causes dBase to look for the files on  drive 
C.

I have looked at later versions of dBase,  and while the actual locations 
have  been changed,  all versions seem to have two of them,  between 4200 
and 4300, and the ASCII file names make them jump out on a DDT display.
