ATTENTION RBBS USERS!

Here is a modification that will solve the case of the missing Line Feed.

Typically when a SYSOP is in the CHAT mode, drops to DOS, and returns to
the CHAT mode, he no longer has Line Feeds displayed on the CRT. This
happens because of a problem in ANSI.ASM. I have added a few lines of
code to add a line feed to a carriage return when the variable STRNG$
ends with a carriage return or a single carriage return is passed
to the ANSI subroutine. If a line feed is passed along with a cariage
return the modification will not add a line feed.


I have provided a Basic program that will demonstrate the problem.

1. Compile GARRY.BAS.
2. Link GARRY.OBJ and the old ANSI.OBJ (ANSI1-6.ASM). Call it GARRY1.EXE
3. Link GARRY.OBJ and the new ANSI.OBJ (ANSI1-7.ASM). Call it GARRY2.EXE

Now run GARRY1 and watch what happens.
Then run GARRY2 to see the results of the added line feed.


I hope this modification helps!

Any messages can be passed through Doyle Warkentin's BBS

The following BASIC code will test the new changes to ANSI.ASM.
GARRY.BAS should be included in this .ARC.
