The following are the known patches for DOUBLEDOS version 4.0. You
should always work with a copy of the file and not the original. The
DEBUG program should be available via path or be called explicitly.
The patch dialog would be something like the following:

C:\dirname\>DEBUG DOUBLED2.PGM (may also be called DOUBLEDO.PGM)
- enter changes as specified in patch
-W
writing xxxx bytes
-Q

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Revert to old version 'V' of DoubleDOS
COPY A:\DBLDVPGM.DRV C:\dirname\DOUBLED2.PGM (or DOUBLEDO.PGM)
note: this is not a permanent change. re-installing the program will
restore it to version 4.0
