Quick Fix warning

[Adam Myrow <hurry@imap2.asu.edu>]

If you have been using the Quick Fix program to patch ProDOS to allow once
illegal filenames, there is a problem that you should be made aware of in the
basic.system patch.  Assume that all variables in the below line have been
defined. 

500 PRINT D$"BLOAD"F$(I)",TSYS,A"BUF",L3"

This line comes from an old virus checker/remover by Morgan Davis.  A normal
copy of basic.system will have no problems executing this line but one that
has been patched with Quick Fix will crash each and every time with a "SYNTAX
ERROR BREAK IN 500" message.  Luckily, Quick Fix is capable of reversing its
own patches so if you've patched every copy of basic.system you have, you can
simply run Quick Fix again to restore them to there original format.  Such
code as I have shown above is fairly rare but if you have any programs that
crash with "SYNTAX ERROR" and the line looks something like the one I have
placed in this post, you may be able to correct the problem.
