Has anyone experienced "Strange" problems that can be traced to Workbench 2.1 's SETPATCH. I recently learned that it gives me problems with my GVP PC 286 emmulator, and I am curious to know if other users have found the new setpatch to be buggy, if not quirky. What does this SetPatch do anyway and should I edit it from my startup-sequence? A. Pagan

Andy Finkel, in a answer to I problem I am having with Virus_Checker, indicated that 2.1 SetPatch patchs a problem with the trackdisk.device among others. You can type SetPatch from the cli to see what it affects. He also is adament about not removing it, as it is necessary for reliable operation of the system. Andy's address here is 70007,4173 if you want to ask him directly. Joe
