!Patch/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                            Use of !Patch
                            =============

This program applies and removes patches from applications. If you are using
floppy disks, you are strongly recommended to copy !Patch and !Scrap to
an empty disk, double-click on this new !Scrap, and then run !Patch from
the new disk. This will significantly reduce the number of disk swaps
you will have to make.

To test whether an application needs patching drop the application (or
directory containing it or indeed the entire contents of $) onto the !Patch
icon on the icon bar. A window will open indicating the known patches for
the program, and whether they can be applied. If a patch has already been
applied there will be the option to remove it. You should always take a
backup of an application before patching it. Press the menu button on the
mouse while the pointer is over the !Patch window to get the menu of patch
options.

If there is plenty of free space on the floppy disk containing the
application you are going to patch (eg. at least 450K if you are patching
!DTP) then running a !Scrap there will reduce the number of disk swaps
even more. It is likely however that there will not be enough free disk
space for you to be able to do this.

If the patch files you need are supplied seperately to !Patch, double click
on them or the application directory which supplies them.

!Patch knows how to patch the following programs:

Name        Description                 Patch
----        -----------                 -----
!DTP        Acorn Desktop Publisher     Allows !DTP to import RISC OS 3
                                        Draw files (works on RISC OS 2).

!Hutchinsn  Hutchinson Encyclopedia CD  Allow 3D icons to work with RISC OS
                                        3.10 or later.

!Internet   TCP/IP Protocol Suite       Fixes NFS access from task windows
                                        (works on RISC OS 2 with Desktop C),
                                        fixes Internet to work with ARM2as,
                                        fixes *RMKill of Internet crashing
                                        (works on RISC OS 2).

!Jiglet     4Mation: Jiglet             Allows Jiglet to run on RISC OS 3.

!Jigsaw     4Mation: Jigsaw             Allows Jigsaw to run on RISC OS 3.

!NFSFiler   TCP/IP Protocol Suite       Fixes directory enumeration buffer
                                        overflows (works on RISC OS 2).

!PCEm       Acorn PC Emulator 1.60      Allows !PCEm to access hard disk
                                        partitions with a DOSDisc file type.

!PCEmS      Small PC Emulator 1.60      Allows !PCEmS to access hard disk
                                        partitions with a DOSDisc file type.

!RISCiX     RISC iX boot application    Allows RISC iX to boot on RISC OS 3.

SecureBoot  RISC iX secure boot module  Allows secure booting on RISC OS 3.

pboot       RISC iX discless boot file  Allows discless booting on RISC OS 3.
            (in /tftpboot on RISC iX)

Note that "works on RISC OS 2" means that the patch will solve the problem
on RISC OS 2 as well as on RISC OS 3. However, !Patch itself will not run on
RISC OS 2, so you will need to copy the software from the RISC OS 2 machine
onto a floppy disc, patch it under RISC OS 3, and then move the patched
version back onto the RISC OS 2 machine.

If you need more information on any of the patches, use !Edit to read the
patch definition files in the !Patch.Patches.Acorn directory.
