TOS14FIX.PRG solves some small problems in the AES (for
additional information, please see the documentation that
accompanies the TOS14FIX.PRG program).
POOLFIX3.PRG fixes a bug in GEMDOS. Documentation that
accompanies the POOLFIX3.PRG program explains (in detail)
the problem that it fixes.
CACHEXXX.PRG is a new program that adds GEMDOS buffers
to your system. The caching of data and disk directories
by GEMDOS (when this program is used) will result in
your system running much faster! This program is highly
recommended and requires TOS 1.04 or higher for full
benefits!
FOLDRXXX.PRG is explained above.
Notes: Please use the utilities available and if you haven't
upgraded to this version of TOS yet.. please consider
doing so. It's a very worthwhile upgrade.
There are some disk-based versions of _early_ developer
only releases of TOS 1.04 floating around on BBS systems
here in the United States and abroad. Please don't use
them! They are bad news! They have some very nasty bugs
and have been known to corrupt data!

booting into Medium Resolution. The patch program STE_FIX
will solve the problem. Once it is executed in the AUTO
folder, the problem no longer exists.
