[HECnet] Swedish Pascal under RSX-11M-Plus?

[Johnny Billquist]

Aaaand... One more comment.

I don't know exactly which version of Swedish Pascal I have. I remember 
going through all DECUS tapes at the time, trying to find the most 
recent version, but you might have a newer version than me.
I fixed the patching though, so you can just apply that knowledge to 
your version.

The correct patch for RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6 is:
GBLPAT=ROOT:$AUTO+34:431        ; BR    SEGENT rsx v4.1
