I've just sent off a bug report and correction to JPI as follows, and I
thought fellow TS M2 users on the net would be interested:

Bug Fix - JPI TopSpeed M2 Rel 1.04b

Symptom:

When using FIO.WrLn, I found that it was producing: CR CR LF
... rather than CR LF, as it should.

Solution:

The problem was traced to FIO.WrBin, where the procedure CLB.write was
called to do the actual writing. Elsewhere, this procedure was called as:

CLB._write     ... but here, it was called as:    CLB.write

... so I changed the reference to CLB.write to CLB._write, and re-made the
library by making RMT_M2A.LIB (I have been using the multi-thread model).
This resolved the problem, and probably a number of others, since all of
the WrXXXX routines call WrBin.

Disclaimer for the net: While I believe this solves the problem above, and
probably others, neither I nor anyone (or any organisation) associated
with me takes any responsibility for any unpleasant consequences of using
this fix.
