Subject: Password echo patch for MEX 1.0

Forwarded from the RCPM Sysop Clearinghouse:

;   DATE 22jun84 2344
;
For Version 1.0 of MEX with bug fixes up to 3... NOT tested with any file
greater than these....

This file will link WCHAR to the function key OUT routines instead of them
being linked to the WTECHO routines.

The priority for linking to the OUT routine is WTECHO first and if it is
OFF then it links to WCHAR.

This is needed because if you use a function key to send your password to
a remote system that does NOT echo the same characters as the ones that you
are sending, the system will wait forever using the WTECHO routines...

So normally set WTECHO OFF and WCHAR delay to 0 ms.  You may find that you
will have to increase the delay time on some systems that are using a basic
program such as RBBS... Assembly programs such as E-MX and CBBS should respond
well at 0 ms.

To use this file strip the POKE statements out of this file and call the
file PASSON.MEX ... at the >> prompt in MEX type READ PASSON.MEX  then CLONE
a new version of MEX...  (PLEASE use a DIFFERENT name for the clone!!!)

Routine written by Bob Schultz, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This is the routine to install the patch:

POKE $0A00 $AF $32 $E4 $52 $C5 $CD $96 $3E $C1 $C3 $DF $1E
POKE $1EF4 $CA $00 $0A

This routine will 'uninstall' the patch:

POKE $1EF5 $DF $1E
