The texts from the user files overwrite standard texts with the same alarm num-
ber. Alarm numbers which do not already exist in the standard texts are added.
An ASCII editor must be used to edit the files (e.g. the DOS editor edit).
A language is assigned to the user alarm texts by means of the text file name.
The appropriate code and the extension .com are added to the user file name
entered in mbdde.ini:
