The reason for the updated PATCH18A version was because I forgot to compile version 1.8 with the DEBUG switch disabled, which in turn prevented you from interrupting a SEARCH function while in progress by hitting any key on the console keyboard. This meant that you would have to reboot if you were scanning the disk, as it could take some time to complete the search if the target was not found. (same for a long file..) There is one bug that I know of in PATCH18A that is quite minor but none the less baffeling. If you perform the STAT command to see the disk parameters and such, you will be UNABLE to use the DIRECTORY function until you have accessed the disk through the FILE function. I have tried several things to make this problem dissapear, such as disk resets, get disk number, reselect disk, etc., with no results. If anyone has a clue, please let me know on the Potpourri BBS (408)-378-7474. Thanks....Bill Rink  MQ M0:PATCH18.LBR/HdɁ0AM=Ph&./o.ЩB& :u
