Here's the patch for Zine 5, made it quickly this morning before
leaving for work. The code didn't change much compared to the previous
issue so I had done most of the work already. Speaking of the
previous issue, starting with Zine 4 the text has been encrypted so
it's not possible anymore to read the articles by loading the data
files into an editor. :)
To skip the intro you can use the CUSTOM1 tooltype, to enjoy the title
picture longer you can use the ButtonWait tooltype, you will then have
to press either mouse button to load the mag.
There was a bug in the text writer which caused the text to be
messed up somewhat, this was caused by not initialising register
d3 to a full longword so the divu d2,d3 instruction returned wrong
results. I have fixed this of course.
The OS routines have been patched so this patch doesn't require
a Kickstart ROM.
Enjoy the mag from HD, patches for the other Zine issues will follow.
Special greetings to Axel/Brainstorm :)
