That is low-grade advice; you could do better than that if you were to
read the c.l.p.b mFAQ.  One should always look for and read the
newsgroup FAQs before asking or posting; it can help to avoid apparent
stupidity.

In particular : there is at least one known-good replacement Crt unit
already written and available ; the many patches for the Borland unit
are of differing merits, and some should be avoided.
