  TITLE    :  PATCH FOR INPUTTING EXTENDED ASCII CHARACTERS




  Alt-Char patch to TURBO BASIC 1.0

  Turbo  Basic  currently  ignores non-standard characters (outside
  the range of 20h - 7Eh) ) entered via an  INPUT  statement.  This
  patch corrects  the  problem,  allowing  those  characters  to be
  entered properly.

  How to install the patch:

  1.      Rename the compiler file (TB.EXE) to TB.ABC using the DOS
   'ren' command:

          ren TB.EXE TB.ABC

  2.      Start up DEBUG by typing DEBUG TB.ABC at  the  DOS prompt
          (>).

  3.      Display the contents of the CS register by  typing  the R
          command at the DEBUG prompt (-):

          R CS

  4.      Use the Hexarithmetic  command  to add 1000 (hex) to this
          value. For example:

          -R CS
          CS 34F7
          : <--- you press RETURN here
          -H 34F7 1000
          44F7 24F7

          ^---- 44F7 is the sum of CS (34F7) and 1000  (hex)

  5.      Next, use the sum above  as the segment for the following
          Enter command:

          e xxxx:4e34 d8

          ^---- where this is the sum from above (44F7  in example)

  6.      Now save the file  using  the  'w'  command (at the DEBUG
          prompt, enter:

          w

  7.      Quit  the debugger by entering the  'q'  command  at  the
          DEBUG  prompt:

          q

  8.      Finally, rename TB.ABC back to TB.EXE:

          ren TB.ABC TB.EXE
