Hi Ralf,
If the program you mean is in German, then I found that last night.
I just posted about the several issues, I cannot tell why the program
fails, but suspect it is because my machine is too fast for that solution.
Different question?
I do not have the source code for the program, but do have the executable
files and the like.
are there tools that can diagnose the program and make corrections at the
library level?
Clearly I would first have to learn what library was used etc., but I
might have a few interested in working on the problem if I can gather the
tools.

Yes, it impact each single program that is written using that compiler with
an unpatched runtime library linked in...
I have no idea if anyone patched readit in this way, would be terrific if
that would be a fix since I know rather a few who still like the
program.
will look forward to your test idea.
I just had a quick look and did not find that program to patch 3rd party
programs where I thought I had a copy of it. I had bought Borland Pascal 7.01
with the library source code back in those days and simply fixed the
offending section of the initialization code and recompiled that runtime
library and all my subsequent written programs were safe from that bug. Too
bad that not everyone did that in this way.
I probably have to check on some backup disk, I will get back to you tomorrow
morning (PST) with a patch...
Ralf
