Subject: MOVCPM, the final solution: **** D-R's REVENGE ****

Well, it looks like Digital Research had the last laugh on me when I posted
"the final solution". My apologies to anyone that tried it and had trouble.
It certainly never occurred to me that such a simple patch might be machine
dependant!

Having used the "solution" so many times and never encountering a problem,
I was surprised to get mail to the contrary. Sure enough, I checked it out
on a couple of friends systems and found one that didn't work. In particular
this was a Heath system. I know their BIOS is a little different, but that's
no excuse.

If the patch worked for you, great. If not, try changing only one or the other
of the jumps I identified. In the mean time, I will try to figure out what is
going on just as soon as this quarter is over at the UW (this friday), so stay
tuned for "The Final Solution: Part II".

Let's see now... where did I put that disassembly....
