Multiplan 2.x “PATCH21.EXE” for 128K PCjr PSS ID Number: Q20802 Article last modified on 03-28-1988 PSS database name: D_MPlan

2.x

MS-DOS

Summary: 2.x versions running under DOS 2.1 require 192K of RAM memory to run on the PCjr. This problem was corrected in Multiplan 2.01 with a patch program (PATCH21.EXE) that allows Multiplan to be run on 128K RAM on the PCjr. This patch corrects a situation in DOS 2.1 that causes a system lockup when running Multiplan on the PCjr. The PATCH21.EXE program must be run only once on the DOS disk that boots Multiplan. This patch is only required if you are running DOS 2.1. Upgrading to a newer DOS version also eliminates the problem.

More Information: Here are the steps to run the patch:


 * 1) Insert the Install disk and type “PATCH21” and ENTER.
 * 2) At the prompt, replace the Install disk with the Multiplan boot disk.
 * 3) Reboot the computer to make the patch take effect.
