; FIX FOR NULU VERSION 1.5

;
; A fix has been found for NULU v1.5. Like all good fixes, however, it
; causes its own share of problems and can only stand as a temporary fix
; until I can get version 1.6 out. The problem was BDOS function 37,
; which NULU15 uses before writing to a drive in case it has been
; changed. Under certain circumstances, BDOS loses its mind when this
; function is called and starts giving away previously allocated disk
; blocks. This is no good for anyone. The "solution" lies in NOT USING
; BDOS 37. The problem now is that you cannot tell NULU to log in a new
; disk. Oh well, try to live with it until I get the new one out that
; will support the fix.
;
; Assemble with your favorite assembler and merge the resulting .HEX
; file into NULU15 with MLOAD.
;
; MLOAD NULU151.COM=NULU15.COM,NULUFIX.HEX
;
; The result will be NULU 1.51 and will have the date of 01/09/86.
;
; More than special thanks are due to Howard Goldstein for this fix. He
; found the problem. He tested the fix. He waded through all my self-
; modifying code. His family will appreciate any help in paying the
; psychiatrist's bills.
