For those out there using an Applicard, you may have noticed that
dBase II doesn't work correctly. To be exact, the screen fills with L's
when the program, version 2.4 is used with the Applicard operating system.
The Applicard speeds things up considerably, so when I found that dBase II
didn't work correctly, it was quite annoying. A phone call down to PCPI
helped me to solve the problem. They sent me Technical Support Note #43,
which addresses this very problem on the Apple.
To begin the process, copy DDT.COM onto your dBase II diskette and type
the following instructions that don't appear from DDT.
DDT DB.COM
-F39DC,39DE,0
-S12C
012C 29 28
012D 00 .
-^C
A>SAVE 75 DB.COM
Actually, the instructions were slightly different. Instead of the line
that says 012C 29 28, the actual instructions said to type in an 80 instead
of a 28. I tried typing in an 80 and it didn't work, but the 28 seems to
work fine.
