LOADFIX (sys)
Purpose: Corrects loading of programs designed with old versions
of the LINK.EXE program.
Syntax: LOADFIX = <ON|OFF>
By default: LOADFIX = OFF
Note:
Since the old LINK.EXE versions all contained a bug, the following
message is displayed when modules created with such a linker are loaded into
quite low areas of memory:
Packed file is corrupt
The problem mostly occurs when DOS is loaded into the high memory and
may be solved either by the LOADFIX external command or in this case, by
LOADFIX = ON. The latter automatically detects incorrectly working programs.
The memory located below the loaded program is free and may be used on
enquiry; the system loads additional code of approximately 500 bytes.
If the message "Packed file is corrupt" is displayed even when
LOADFIX=ON, the LOADFIX external DOS command may be used for solving the
problem.
