Subject: Fix for user bug in CP/M-80 Turbo Pascal 2.0

Here is TURBUSER.BUG, relayed from my RCPM...
--cut here--
TURBUSER.BUG

This file contains instructions to correct an anomoly which exists in Turbo
Pascal vers. 2.0 for CP/M-80.  The problem is that if you run Turbo in any
CP/M user area other than 0, Turbo will force you to user 0 when you exit
Turbo using the (Q)uit command.  Granted, this isn't the end of the world,
but it becomes an annoyance after a while.  I don't like programs that dork
with my default drive/user.  Install this fix, and your default user area
will be left alone.        //Rodger Ellis - 03/18/85//


This is a simple DDT session which changes five locations in the file
TURBO.COM.
