Yet Another New Version of DOS 3.3.........Bob Sander-Cederlof

In the July issue of AAL I outlined the changes Apple made to DOS 3.3 early this year.  Today I received a new "Developer's System Master", with a cover letter claiming another correction to the APPEND routine.  The letter binds developers to begin using the new version no later than November 1st.

If you like APPEND, or would like to like it, you might want to make these patches in your own system master.  I am going to assume you already have the "early 1983" version, either because you bought a //e or a disk drive this year, or you copied one from a friend, or you made the patches from my July article.  Here are the new changes:

"early 1983"                August, 1983
---------------------      -----------------------
B683:4C 84 BA JMP $BA84    B683:4C B3 B6 JMP $B6B3

$B6B3-B6CE:ALL ZEROES      B6B3:AD BD B5 LDA $B5BD
                           B6B6:8D E6 B5 STA $B5E6
                           B6B9:8D EA B5 STA $B5EA
                           B6BC:AD BE B5 LDA $B5BE
                           B6BF:8D E7 B5 STA $B5E7
                           B6C2:8D EB B5 STA $B5EB
                           B6C5:8D E4 B5 STA $B5E4
                           B6C8:BA       TSX
                           B6C9:8E 9B B3 STX $B39B
                           B6CC:4C 7F B3 JMP $B37F

$BA84-BA93:PATCH           BA84-BA93:ALL ZEROES


What Apple has done is move the patch they had put at $BA84 down to $B6B3 and added four extra lines to that patch.  I HOPE IT IS NOW CORRECT!
