Thanx Kev,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'll look around for the heck of it and see what will run on a terminal. Maybe
|
||
|
some of these databases, etc. that you talked about.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whatever happens, it's fun to experiment anyway!!!

Sounds interesting!! From what you said, it sounds like you're running a BBS
|
||
|
while multi-tasking with your other personal stuff, is this the case? Also,
|
||
|
how about the names of some of the programs you have that DO run well on a
|
||
|
terminal??
|

|

(Sounds like I could really get into this <grin>!!!)

Bob ...

While not exactly a BBS, you've got the general picture. I actually allow shell
|
||
|
access to a few trusted folks for whatever suits their fancy. Of course, I have
|
||
|
a electronic mail package installed, so we can leave messages between ourselves
|
||
|
... as well as running Mark's UUCP programs so I've been known to shuttle a few
|
||
|
files back and forth across country as well.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All on this lil' CoCo 3.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So far as character based games that run well remotely, I have an Adventure
|
||
|
game, cribbage, solitare, tic-tac-toe .... more serious applications include
|
||
|
dynacalc, scred, uemacs, dynastar and IMS (database)..
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fun? It's soooo much fun I've put my money down for a MM/1. OSK should give me
|
||
|
a few more challenges!

These games & "serious applications" that you mentioned, are they available

Also, what are "scred", "uemacs", etc.? What do they do?

There are a lot of useful programs that can be run from terminals that are
|
||
|
attached to a CoCo3. However, there are some programs like some of the CoCo3
|
||
|
specific games that were never intended to be run from a terminal. Now if you
|
||
|
had a terminal that could in some way simulate the memory moves that it takes
|
||
|
to support a VDG-based game you could run it, but you'd still need some serious
|
||
|
mods to OS9's serial drivers so that the memory move
|
||
|
commands could be sent downothe serial line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are are some word processors that will run from a terminal by simply
|
||
|
specifying to the wordprocessor what the characteristics of the terminal are.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's not a lie to call OS9 a multitasking / multiuser operating system.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I routinely use Dynacalc and some other programs from terminals.

Lee,
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I said that it was a misnomer (OR lie) that OS-9 was truly multiuser, it
|
||
|
was due to my ignorance of what is possible on a terminal. Now that you, Kevin,
|
||
|
and Steve have all explained some of this to me, I am learning a little more
|
||
|
about it! I now apologize to everyone (including Microware) <GRIN>, for making
|
||
|
that statement!!!
|
||
|
|

I am really looking forward to exploring this further, and the help and
|
||
|
guidance of all of you will be invaluable to me!

If you can get your terminal to respond to OS9 Escape Codes, as Kevin
|
||
|
mentioned, then you should be able to run things like DED, OS9 Profile,
|
||
|
Dynacalc, the PD game called SOKOBAN, and some others. The key is, though,
|
||
|
whether Ultimaterm can interpret incoming OS9 Escape Codes that an application
|
||
|
like the ones mentioned is going to send as screen formatting commands.

Thanx Lee,
|
||
|
|

I've got a lot to learn about this - and I'll probably ask a hundred more
|
||
|
questions! One that comes to the top of my mind though is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
If I run OS-9 on my terminal, can I redirect my output to /t2 and my input FROM
|
||
|
/t2 and communcate that way?? Or would I still need to run a term program on
|
||
|
the terminal??
|

Thinking some more (big trouble!!) about the termcap/basic thingie... I think
|
||
|
that what I was alluding to in my 1st message was that we should avoid termcap
|
||
|
and use something like the coco GFX2 interface. It'd just be a matter of using
|
||
|
different interfaces for different setups--and so long as all the interfaces
|
||
|
had the same calling setup and programmers agreed to determine the interface to
|
||
|
use from the system instead of hardcoding then everything should be sweet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't know, but are you doing a GFX2 thing for the MM/1?

Nope,
|

They aren't RFI. They don't occur at all if I boot up with earlier
|
||
|
versions of my boot disk. If anything, this computer generates quite a bit of
|
||
|
RFI that I can tune in on my shortwave or watch on my television. But I don't

use them at the same time so it doesn't matter. The bars that flash on my

screen are very digital looking. Thanks anyway.

Well, I did some checking: I booted up starting with an old boot disk and
|
||
|
used sucessively newer disks until I found where the problem started. The
|
||
|
problem started not with the addition of the hard drive or any of the serial
|
||
|
ports, but with the addition of SACIA.
|
||
|
I also tried the interrupt driven version of B&B's CC3Disk and this was
|
||
|
radically wworse. You could see lots of missing characters while online at 300
|
||
|
baud.
|
||
|
The horizontal bars that occur are very digital in nature. They look like
|
||
|
those above Ascii 127 characters that you can generate in RSDOS but they flash
|
||
|
by too fast. However, when I see them I know there will be download problems.
|
||
|
I have another boot disk that has a CC3Disk version that is used when
|
||
|
running PCDos. This does not support the no-halt floppy controller but it too
|
||
|
causes the flashing bars even without SACIA present. There are no download
|
||
|
problems in this situation though.
|
||
|
When I log on to CIS after I get the CONNECT message from the modem, I hit
|
||
|
Cntl-C. With the standard ACIAPAK driver, I have to hit return to send the
|
||
|
Cntl-C down the line. With SACIA, I don't have to hit return; the Cntl-C
|
||
|
apparently shoots right out. This is a nice feature for CIS use.
|
||
|
Is there maybe something in SACIA that needs setting with the new XMODE it
|
||
|
comes with in order for it to perform correctly?
|
||
|
|
||
|
What do you think?

Paul,

Was there a corrected clock module that was also needed with the SACIA modules?
|
||
|
Seems to me the 'soft' fix to irq problems was in the clock module.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can't speak to the stalling ^c problems. My control codes shoot out just dandy
|

|
... no need to hit <enter>.
|
||
|
|

As far as new xmode settings for SACIA .... you have increased the xmit/receive
|
||
|
buffers, jes? A small buffer could be the cause of your troubles.

I've left Kevin Darling a mail message about procuring KWindows for the TC70,
|
||
|
he responded back that he'll have to get back with me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
KWindows, from everything I've been told, is very close to the windows that we
|
||
|
have in the OS9/6809/CoCo windows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
GWindows is much more like a MAC set of windows....I've just gotten a test
|
||
|
version of GWindows, and the Desktop is phenominal.....so close to a MAC's
|
||
|
look, and feel, that it's spooky (g).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Microware, I understand, is supposed to be working on an XWindow format for
|
||
|
OS9...but I don't know the details of that environment at all.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At least, for now, GWindows, and KWindows, is what we have for OS9/68K.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Of course, that's twice as many options as we had for the CoCo......

Yah, all we really need is for someone to write a standard library set which'll
|
||
|
work on any system. There's something called stdwindows which might fit... its
|
||
|
calls have been ported to X, Mac, ST and MGR, I think. Add in G/KWindows and

|
we'd be cooking with gas. Just relink a program.

PS: hang tight. Overlapping windows using the L-II upgrade technology (which

includes moving from screen to screen) has been going in all this week. Should

be done soon (KWindows). Mike H and I are making sure it all works out. So

far it's been pretty neat to see Tetrix running in any size window... and it

If they're 12 bit compressed files, we have a compress utility that will do the

I'm not 100% sure, but if I remember you have to use the "sh" shell from
|
||
|
the TOPS package if you want mmon and other related utilities to work
|
||
|
correctly. They don't work properly with stock Microware "shell" interpreter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By the way, you have more success with aterm/xterm usage??

|

BYE, from Denis.

Hiya, Denis....never thought of the 'sh' shell.....will have to try it out and
|
||
|
see if that is the problem.....
|
||
|
|
||
|
aterm/xterm.....sorry, but xterm still crashes in my system (won't even give me
|
||
|
a help screen...)....aterm is not correct as the Aterm.Ctl file is looking at a
|
||
|
VT52 environment, and I don't know what this TC70 emulates, or what codes to
|
||
|
change the ctl file to.....

Jim,
|
||
|
|
||
|
LOGON will work with MW shell, csh and sh. (I use csh most of the time.)
|
||
|
Read the docs on logon. You need a 'sysinfo' file in your systems
|
||
|
directory as well as a couple of other files. I forgotten what's all
|
||
|
required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In your startup file, you'll need a line like -
|
||
|
|
||
|
'/h0/ETC/CMDS/setup /h0/SYS/sysinfo' assuming you've installed the
|
||
|
stuff as TOP provided it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Works fine on my system (SYSTEM IV) - I use it all the time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
One caveat - if you ever go to a 030, it won't work - something to do
|
||
|
with the memory security module. Not having the source, don't really
|
||
|
know what the problem is.

I FINALLY DID get mmon to set the TR light on my modem 'on', by doing a mmon
|
||
|
<>>>/t1&, but then mmon disappeared again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I also got watch to do it, too, using the same algorithym.....
|
||
|
|
||
|
But, ever though the modem answered, nada.....

Thanks again, for your assistance.

Actually, come to think of it I used to use my t0 with a generic mouse 9-25 pin
|
||
|
connector. Unfortunately the adapter doesn't fit along with my 9-pin video
|
||
|
cable. So I should try a regular cable (9-25) instead.

Are you ever correct there, Ed....I received the GWindow demo package this past

week, and have been working on, and playing (grin) with them all weekend.

Jamie, some early CoCo Disk Controllers won't work with a CoCo3 when it's
|
||
|
running at the 2MHz speed. Level 2 on the CoCo3 runs at that speed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
How old is you disk controller? FD-501s and FD-502 will probably be okay, but
|
||
|
earlier ones may not be able to respond properly to a CC3 that's running at
|
||
|
2MHz.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I had the same thing happen to me when I first started using Level 2. I had a
|
||
|
disk controller that I got with my very first gray CoCo 1. Radio Shack was no
|
||
|
help then either. I discovered that Level 2 would boot with my J&M Disk
|
||
|
Controller, but I only had one of them, and I had two CoCo3s. I had to
|
||
|
purchase a better controller.

I will be selling off all of my CoCo equipment, now that I own this
|
||
|
Tomcat70....
|
||
|
|
||
|
To those of you who know me, and my BBS, the <Plain Rap> BBS, I will shut down
|
||
|
this BBS temporarily -- until some BBS software is ported over to the OSK
|
||
|
environment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
First item for sale will be.....
|
||
|
|
||
|
One Seagate ST1100 (100 meg) hard drive, complete with Burke & Burke interface,
|
||
|
power supply and cabinet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I bought this drive less than 120 days ago, when I thought I was gonna buy a
|
||
|
Tomcat9, and the asking price for the complete set is less than I paid for the
|
||
|
drive.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Included will be my complete cmds directory (about 200 cmds), plus I will
|
||
|
'throw in' all of my BBS downloads (about 1200 files, pictures, text files,
|
||
|
help files, etc., etc.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The package would be ideal if you wanted to run a BBS, if you've a mind to.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Asking price: $350 O.B.O., plus S&H

Is there any way I can tell Edit that I want to quit without saving? I've tried
|

ctrl-c, ctrl-e, and even KILLing it from another shell in another window. Edit
|
||
|
just won't let go. The only thing that has worked is pressing RESET twice and

rebooting. Almost surprised that works(g).

I'm sure there must be a way of exiting Edit without saving, but until someone
|
||
|
looks it up, you could just do what I'd probably do:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Flip to another window and copy the original file to a different name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then quit edit, and shuffle things around as needed to get back where I was.
|
||
|
But then, I'm lazy :-)

I know there is some way to do it because I once did it by accident. But I have
|
||
|
no idea what I did to do it! I always use Edit with files on a RAMdisk and
|
||
|
since I was working on my startup file copied from /d0, I lost nothing. Why
|
||
|
should it be so hard to leave Edit without saving your changes--I thought one
|
||
|
of the "rules" of OS-9 is that you let a ctrl-e or a KILL terminate your
|
||
|
process but here is something on the original system disk which is different.
|
||
|
A hard disk defragmenter, I can understand why you'd intercept attempts to
|
||
|
stop, but a _line editor_??
|
||
|
|
||
|
As a rule, /term and /w1 are always active with shells on my system so I'll try
|
||
|
out your method. I do nearly all my text editing with Simply Better. Even
|
||
|
having to RSDos DECB<-->OS-9 is worth the ease of SB over Edit. I only use
|
||
|
Edit to make little fixups to patch scripts, Basic-09 listings I download,
|
||
|
Startup, and so forth. And I'll use its counterpart built-in to Basic-09 for
|
||
|
new programs so I can get the immediate syntax checking.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Oh well. Thanks just the same.

Erich,

You can do something similar to what Kevin suggested by using the
|
||
|
shell command from within the editor:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.shell rename oldfile save
|
||
|
|
||
|
where oldfile is your original read file. Once renamed edit can't find your
|
||
|
original file when it tries to delete it.

Get a copy of Computer Shopper and look for MFM drives there. You may need a
|

|
whole evening to come up with a shopping list (concentrate on the last 1/3d of
|
||
|
the mag and use the indexes) but you should be able to come up with an adequate

list. Don't expect any help from the dealers; ask your questions here and
