Subject: M730IRV1.FIX patch from Irv Hoff for MDM730

---forwarded from the Sysop Clearinghouse RCPM---

SUBJECT : M730IRV1.FIX (FOR MDM730.COM)

FROM   : IRV HOFF W6FFC

DATE   : 01 MAY 84


       NOTE TO SYSOPS:  Erase M730DIAL.PAT / M730DIAL.FIX
                        as that information is in this file.


     There are two obscure bugs in the MDM730 program.  The first in-
     volves the alternate long distance dialing system - occasionally
     the last digit of the billing code would be entered twice, messing
     up the correct dialing.  The second involves a problem existing
     since the early MODEM7 days which has never been corrected.  When
     copying to disk in the terminal mode, if the disk fills, the pro-
     gram says it is saving as much of the copy as it can.  It then
     closes the file - only it was closing the file normally used for
     file transfers.  The following patch corrects both problems.  As
     they only recently came to my attention, it is obvious the typical
     user (including me!) has never run into either problem.


         MAKING THE CHANGES:  Use DDT.COM - or SID.COM in
         the following manner.  The column on the right is
         is what the operator enters, the column on the
          left is what is currently in the program.  Where
          you see "xx" it makes no difference what is there
          now as that is an unused area bewteen the end of
          the dialing routines and the telephone library.
         (We store our little patches in that unused area.)


         THIS IS THE CHANGE FOR "DISK-FULL WHEN IN ASCII
         CAPTURE MODE.  EVERYBODY NEEDS THIS ONE, NEARLY
         EVERYBODY WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING ONE AS WELL,
         FOR ALTERNATE DIALING.  READ THE NOTE FIRST, FOR
         THAT SECTION.

          THIS IS THE ALTERNATE LONG DISTANCE DIALING CHANGE
          FOR 'SPRINT', 'MCI', ETC. USERS.  CHECK THE BYTES
          TO SEE IF THEY MATCH OK, IF NOT, YOU MAY BE USING
          A SPECIAL OVERLAY THAT EXTENDS INTO THE DIALING
          AREA, SUCH AS THE MICROMODEM 100, MICROMODEM ][,
          RACAL-VADIC, NOVATION, ETC.  IF THE BYTES DO NOT
          MATCH, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS CHANGE.
