yep... I still live there. I look foward to the ann., off the recored, what is
|
|
your upgrade policy? also, a suggestion(or two); make the tab key be a tab key.
|
|
and if you just hit esc. have a little menu bar with the submenus pop-up... and
|
|
make it more colorful... graphical or something... the MM/1 is sapose to be a
|
|
bit of a graphics machine... K.E.G.

Ken, thanks for the interest in Ved and suggestions...
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade policy: Normally we charge a nominal 5 to 10 dollars for an upgrade.
|
|
Really just to cover the cost of media, etc. However, with a major change like
|
|
from Ved 1.x to 2.0 we do have to charge a bit more. Full details are in the
|
|
upgrade announcment in the mail to you.
|
|
|
|
2. Making tab==tab: Do remember that ALL the keybindings in Ved are user
|
|
defineable. This is made much easier with 2.0 since we now include MVEF in the
|
|
package. MVEF makes it easy to create a customized environment file with the
|
|
key laid out the way you think the should be.
|
|
|
|
3. Menus: Ved is _not_ a mm/1 editor. It is designed to work on any OSK
|
|
platform, and as such does have to assume a somewhat limited environment. The
|
|
only thing Ved _really_ needs is cursor positioning. Adding color and stuff is
|
|
really quite easy if you want to fool around with the termcap file..nothing
|
|
from stopping you from defining 'so' (standout) as red letters on yellow....
|
|
|
|
4. MM/1: We have included some support for Kwindows. Ved will read a mouse to
|
|
get cursor positioning, etc. and does a few things with the Kwindows screen
|
|
drivers.
|
|
|
|
5. A future version of Ved _may_ incorporate a front-end option. As envisioned
|
|
a front-end would be a user (or 3rd party) written program which would filter
|
|
commands (keys) before they get to Ved. This program could then do it's own
|
|
menus, etc. Or it could be a executive in an interactive c-programming
|
|
environment. The exec. could transfer control between programs, and even pass
|
|
error line numbers to Ved so that the correct line pops up after a unsuccessful
|
|
compile. This is still in the planning stage...

I need to now if I am on the right track here. I got an old XT from work for
|
|
free and I want to set it up to use as a mail reader running SLMR. This is what
|
|
I think I need to do, please let me know if I am going in the right direction
|
|
or not.
|
|
|
|
I will run a null modem cable from the serial port on the xt to /T1 on my MM/1.
|
|
I will run a telcom program on the xt and one on the MM/1. This should allow me
|
|
to transfer program via xmodem. I would also like to login to the MM/1. Do do
|
|
this do I run tsmon for T1 or do I setup a shell on T1.
|
|
|
|
Any help would be appreated. Thanks Keith Bauer

Keith,
|
|
|
|
You're on the right track. You could do either, I run a shell on my CoCo for
|
|
access to the CoCo from my MM/1, and I run mtsmon for dialup access to the MM/1
|
|
from work.
|
|
|
|
To run a shell, try: (shell <>>>/t1 &)
|
|
|
|
You can add any of the shell parameters, like -p=MM1, or -l to require logout
|
|
to end the shell, that way you can't accidentally shut that shell down with
|
|
ESC.
|
|
|
|
To run mtsmon, try: (mtsmon -s /t1 &)
|
|
|
|
In any case, use xmode to set proper baud rate, etc. before starting up the
|
|
shell, or mtsmon.
|
|
|
|
Using either method, you can do file transfers from a terminal program on the
|
|
XT via Kermit or Zmodem without running a terminal program on the MM/1 side.
|
|
I'm not aware of an OSK xmodem server, but there might be one floating around.
|
|
How to do this depends on the terminal program you use on the XT, I do Zmodem
|
|
transfers (Kermit too) dialed into my MM/1 from work where I use Crosstalk on a
|
|
Dell 386.

Re: xmodem server for OSK. I have a file in my archives called xm19.ar. I
|
|
believe I got it here, but not sure if that is the filename (it probably is).
|
|
The archive contains source for an interactive xmodem server. I have never
|

tried it...but it should work.

It's in LIB 7 I think.
|
|
|
|
I grabbed it last night and it seemed to compile ok with a few minor tweaks.
|
|
|
|
You may want to look for the reference to 'pwd' and change it to 'pd'. It's
|

somewhere around the 'log directory' option.

I am trying to write a signal handler using BASIC and syscalls for my mouse.

Have a signal for the mouse to return and the process asleep but cannot manage

F$Icpt and writing the signal to a known memory location. I assume that the
|

mouse signal is received in one register of the 68070 but which one? And then,

what 68000 assembly language instruction would write that signal value to

|
memory? I believe if I knew these two things I could accomplish the signal

handler so I am wondering if you know? Really, I am just trying to clone Dale

Using KWindows, I have created buttons with shell "display 1e 28 ....". I find
|
|
that if the button encroaches on the bottom line of a Type 0 screen on my MM1
|
|
the normal gray face of the button takes on the background color of the screen
|
|
and its 3d movement is lost. This a bug or am I doing something wrong? Also, I
|
|
find that these buttons automatically depress when clicked on with the mouse,
|
|
provided that the process is not asleep and the mouse has no signal to return.
|
|
Under the latter conditions, no button movement. Again, am I doing something
|
|
wrong here?

Well, Alan and I made a decision a few nights ago (based on all the GOOD THINGS

Announcing a new product for all MM/1 owners.
|
|
|
|
The Dirt Cheap Computer Stuff Company, DccS, (me), is pleased to offer a
|
|
Floptical Disk Drive. These drives use 3.5 inch optical disks to read and
|
|
write up to 21 Megabytes of data on one disk, while still being able to read
|
|
and write standard 1.44 Meg and 720K floppies.
|
|
|
|
The drives are mounted as a normal 3.5 inch floppy disk drive and connected
|
|
using your SCSI cable. A special device driver and descriptor (/f0) allows you
|
|
to access all disk types (21 Meg, 1.44 Meg, 720k) through the same descriptor.
|
|
The drive automatically detects the different types. All disk types are
|
|
formatted using special descriptors that can be loaded when needed or included
|
|
in your boot file.
|
|
|
|
Read/write speeds for the 21 Meg disks are much faster than standard floppy
|
|
disks. Measured transfer rates for reading are 124 Kbytes a second and 74
