Title: Microsoft Word 5.0 on Monochrome 3Stations
Date: 8/30/89

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

Many users have been experiencing problems using Microsoft Word 5.0 on
3Stations with monochrome monitors.  When a user enters Word, the screen
starts scrolling vertically and cannot be stopped.

The problem lies in Word's character-mode video driver.  The patch below
works on the HERC102.CSD driver dated 4-26-89 with a size of 7542
bytes.

WARNING:  The following patch requires use of the DEBUG editor, which
can alter vital files irretrievably.  Do not attempt this patch unless you
are comfortable using DEBUG.

1.  Make a backup copy of the file HERC102.CSD.

2.  Type DEBUG HERC102.CSD and press [Return].

3.  At DEBUG's - prompt, type the following commands:

        e 378
        90
        e a92
        90
        w
        q

DEBUG will tell you Writing 1D76 bytes when you enter w and then drop you
back to DOS when you enter q.

4.  Create a new screen driver for Word.

Note:  the following command is case-sensitive and must be entered
exactly as shown.  Type the following command:

MAKEVID HERCULES.VID -Lfr HERC102.CSD -Lfr HERCULES.GSD

This will create a screen driver called HERCULES.VID.

5.  If all users will be running Word in monochrome mode, copy the
HERCULES.VID screen driver as SCREEN.VID to the Word directory on the
server.

Or, for individual users with special video drivers, copy
HERCULES.VID to the directory pointed to by the environment variable
MSWNET=[pathname].
