VDE EDITOR APPLICATION NOTE:
    Patching VMC 1.8 to work with larger files from VDE 1.94

                  (c) 28 January 2005, E. Meyer


     PROBLEM:  VDE/VINST 1.94 allows function key definition (.VDF)
files to be up to 4k in size, but Evan Slawson's 1995 Macro
Compiler 1.8 utility allows only 2k (which had been the standard
from VDE 1.8 to 1.93).

     SOLUTION:  Until/unless the VMC utility itself is updated, the
existing VMC.COM can easily be patched with DEBUG to allow the
processing of larger .VDF files.  (Evan has confirmed that this
patch should be adequate.)


     This patch is correct ONLY FOR VMC 1.8.  Do not try it on any
other version, and be careful to enter all values exactly as shown.
Keep an unmodified copy of VMC.COM along with the other components
of the VMC18 package.

     This patched copy of VMC.COM should now be able to process
VDF/VTF files up to the new 4k size limit.
