Product    :

Description:
This file is for owners of Turbo Pascal 6 or 7 who want to use
the editor from the editor toolbox that shipped with Turbo
Pascal Version 4.0. To begin, find the file called BINED.PAS
that shipped with Toolbox. You should make the following change
to BINED.PAS:

Procedure ResetBinaryEditor(var EDData: EdCB);

var X: Integer;  { <<--- ADD THIS LINE; ITS THE FIX! }

begin
  EditNew(EdData);
end;

The addition of the above line sets up a stack frame
for this proc.

Here's some additional text taken from the TP6 HELPME!.DOC:

With the exception of the Turbo Editor Toolbox, the 4.0
toolboxes will compile with Turbo Pascal 6.0. The Turbo Editor
Toolbox needs the minor source code changes described below in
order to work with the new heap manager:

  MicroStar
  ---------
    In MSVARS.PAS:
      1) On line 219 after "var"
            Add  "FreePtr: Pointer;"
      2) On line 295 after "begin"
            Add  "FreePtr := Ptr(Seg(HeapEnd^) - $1000, 0);"
    In INVOKE.PAS:
      1) On line 18 after "Dos"
            Add   ", MsVars"

  FirstEd
  -------
    In EDVARS.PAS:
      1) On line 139
            Add "FreePtr: Pointer;"
         On line 207
            Add "FreePtr := Ptr(Seg(HeapEnd^) - $1000, 0);"

The TP6 notes then go on to talk about a new copy of BINED.OBJ.
This is a fictitious copy and does not exist. Don't try to find
it. Instead, add "THE FIX!" shown above.
