          NO_KEMPSTON


   It is known that in some
programs survey Kempston joystick is incorrect,
ie does not recognize the situation,
when not connected. Because
This is disruptive to program management.

   In this situation, you can help
My utility "NO_KEMPSTON", which removes the selected file you 
command, Poll joystick: IN A, (# 1F) is replaced by LD A, 0. 
After this treatment in most cases

performance of the program is restored.

   After starting the "NO_KEMPSTON"
reads and displays the directory of the drive. You must choose
processed file and press
ENTER.



              Management:

 Q, A, S, X, SINCLAIR, CURSOR - choose a file;
 ENTER - to begin processing the file;
 R - read the directory of the drive;
 BREAK - Temporary access to the TR-DOS.



   When a file is selected,
NO_KEMPSTON will check:
whether depicted on
screen directory of the drive directory
disk is in drive.
If you simply will not match
reread directory. Thanks
This excludes situations where you have inserted another
disk, and read the catalog forgotten.

   If all goes well, will
file processing. You can follow its progress by the color of 
the curb: As soon as the file will be found the team IN A, (# 
1F), border will turn green. When the entire file is processed, 
you will one of two messages:



              - The file was found and

      OK fixed at least one

                Team IN A, (# 1F);



    NOT OK - nothing with this file

                failed to do.



   When using this utility, be aware that:

 - It is useless to apply it to

   encrypted or skompressi
   doped files;

 - A sequence of bytes # DB

   # 1F, the corresponding command

   IN A, (# 1F), may be in

   file by accident and not have to
   wearing a poll Kempston
   joystick. I therefore recommended
   through each copy Handled
   mye files to another drive and

   all actions to carry out the names
   but with copies.
