Expires:

This assembler program does exactly that, for all those who want to
be able to switch ``on demand''.  Maybe I'll hack AVAILDEV into it
later on.

If you lack assembler, I can mail you the binary, or maybe post it;
first I have to learn how to use uuencode on this beastie. . .

The following refers to changing the switch character with the
undocumented int 21H, function 37H:

I ran the enclosed Turbo Pascal 3.0 program on my ITT Xtra with
DOS 2.11 and it ran just fine.  I guess hacking through problems
with debug just doesn't cut it :-).  

BTW, the Xtra seems to be quite compatible with IBM PC/XTs.  Every
piece of software that I have tried on it has run with no problems
and that includes some which have not run on a friend's Compaq.
