Patched version of 1541.COM
                     ===========================


The 1541P.COM file is a slightly patched version of the 1541.COM program
(1541 file handler & full disc copier from controll R.T & DADA/TSI).

The reason for the patch was that 1541.COM needed a PC with a CPU speed
of about 8 MHz, and neither of my PC:s does that speed. So I made this
small "improvement" to the program. The improvement is that the program
will (hopefully) work on any PC, regardless off the CPU speed.
This means that you don't need to 'fine tune' the computers speed with
GOSLOW.COM in order use 1541P.COM.

I have tested the program on my PC:s, a 386SX 16MHz, a 386DX 40MHz
(28 and 40 MHz) and a 486DX2-66 (33 and 66 MHz), and it works on all
three of them (all five different speeds).
I have not tested it on any 8088 or 286 based systems but there should
not be any problem with these (a slow 8088 based XT might have some
problems due to the relatively long instruction times, I don't know).


The following files is included:

    1541.COM        10136  88-02-26   8.16    Original 1541 program
    1541P.COM       10136  93-11-18  21.10    My patched version
    1541P.TXT        1385  93-11-19   0.39    This file
    GOSLOW.COM        918  93-01-26  19.57    Slows down CPU execution speed
    MAP.COM         10136  88-02-26   8.16    Original MAP program
    README.TXT       6830  93-10-11  14.50    Instructions on usage


The MAP.COM program is not updated to work with any CPU speed, it is
the original program so it must be used together with the GOSLOW
program.


If you find any problems with this patched version, you can send me a
mail and I will try to fix it.

By the way, the program is patched with the permission of the original
author (see README.TXT).


Enjoy!
