Tim,
|

Thanks for the info on displaying "movies". I will try to keep this in mind
|
|
when (if) I get a second serial port. Thanks for the help.

I may have a solution. Using a terminal program that supports ASCII send,
|
|
simply connect to your modem and leaving it on-hook, echoing, send the
|
|
file.. The modem will echo the data back to the term program and it works
|
|
quite well. I don't have KBCom, but using SuperComm, which has something
|
|
of an "ANSI" mode, will get through the process fairly well. In trying
|
|
"trek", it seems that about 600 Baud is as fast as it can go... must be
|
|
losing data... when the outpost blows up, any faster rate and the effects
|
|
of the explosion don't work right... It isn't the BEST way, but at least
|
|
you can see what is going on.
|
|
|
|
I have G-Windows, and it is vt100.. I was able to just "merge" or "list".
|
|
They go by a little fast, as apparently the baud rate doesn't seem to affect
|
|
the speed from the keyboard, but they do work.

I LOVE V-Term. The menus are a bit kludgy to get through but it's I'm
|
|
shure the only RS-DOS term program that actually multitasks! :) The file
|
|
handling is great too IE: Ramdisk, not just a buffer, and enhanced control
|
|
over the ram and normal RS-DOS drives. My first term program. Of course I
|
|
soon went to OS9, and then when I went back to RS-DOS I used Ultimaterm
|
|
because I forgot my way around V-Term and Ultimaterm had more of an OSTerm
|
|
feel. :) V-Term is great though. Oh, yea, I liked to get colored ANSI garbage
|
|
that V-Term filtered out also. <g>

This should get you started. You need to pass ALL the

registers, not just the ones you are going to use.<<
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the info John. That seems to have gotten me started.
|
|
It was succesfull, SORT of. I got it to work but when it list the
|
|
files, it returns an error #015 after each file, and it lists them all
|
|
as NOT a directory, even if it is a directory file. Should I
|
|
initialize some other variables perhaps? A #15 error btw, indicates an
|
|
illegal mode, but I don't know where this comes from. It's possible
|
|
that the second error is a result of the first maybe.
|
|
Here's the updated code...
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE dirsyscall
|
|
TYPE file=filename(29),lsn(3):BYTE
|
|
TYPE regs=cc,a,b,dp:BYTE; x,y,u:INTEGER

DIM diskpath:BYTE
|

|
|
fd_att:=$00
|
|
register.a:=diskpath
|
|
register.b:=$0F
|
|
register.x:=ADDR(opt)
|
|
register.y:=1
|
|
OPEN #diskpath,".":READ+DIR
|
|
WHILE EOF(#diskpath)<>TRUE DO
|
|
GET #diskpath,name
|
|
IF name.filename(1)<>0 THEN
|
|
count=0
|
|
temp=""
|
|
REPEAT
|
|
count=count+1
|
|
temp:=temp+CHR$(LAND(name.filename(count),$7F))
|
|
UNTIL count=0 OR name.filename(count)>127 OR name.filename(count )=0
|
|
PRINT temp
|
|
RUN syscall($0F,register)
|
|
IF LAND(fd_att,$80)=0 THEN
|
|
PRINT "is not a directory!"
|
|
endif
|
|
IF LAND(fd_att,$80)=1 THEN
|
|
PRINT "is a Directory!"
|
|
ENDIF
|
|
ENDIF
|
|
ENDWHILE
|

For some reason the '1' on the dir attribute bit is not being set

when it should.

Chris, you got several things going wrong here. First off, you are setting
|
|
register.a to diskpath BEFORE you open the path. But in this case, that
|
|
doesn't matter. SS.Fd works on a path open to the target file. Diskpath is
|
|
open to the parent dir. So....
|
|
|
|
Dim path2:byte
|
|
...
|
|
Print temp
|
|
Open #path2, temp
|
|
register.a=path2
|
|
RUN syscall($8d,register)
|
|
Close #path2
|
|
If LAND(register.cc,1)=1 then
|
|
(do something about the error from getstat)

Your right of course, luck of the draw has alot to do with it. And I can usually

do a game in the vicinity of five minutes. That is either get the Dragon

or see that I won't succeed. That should give me four games at least. Believe

games/ each different/ each in theh first try. Toho that's exceptipional

Hmmm...maybe I should switch back to the canonical tile set; the default

I use with the "tiles" program is probably easier to distinguish. tiles

keeps the top times, which reinforces attempts at speed rather than solving

all the configurations. (I'll say...looking at the stats in another window,

I see that I've won about 17 percent of the games I've played.)

I've seen some of th variety tile on the Amiga. Like in chess

whenever you deviate from theh standard set,, it detracts from your

concentration. thus you never see a chess player worth his salt (a good

one) playing with one of the fancy carved sets. Those are for TV shows
|

and ol' mens parlors.

but da ya mean,, I get to beat the britches off "James Jones"?

Get out your standard set,, and practice James. Practice,, practice.

OS-9 Late Night

Here's my Sunday reminder...
|
|
|
|
****OS-9 Late Night:Nitros9 and Tune-Up w/Northern Xposure****
|
|
Monday Night September 26, at 10:00 pm Eastern
|
|
|
|
Alan Dekok, and perhaps even Colin McKay(not sure about Colin
|
|
yet), will be online to discuss the soon to be released Nitros9 update
|
|
and also ANOTHER one of Alan's projects(these guys DO keep busy!)
|
|
called Tune-Up which enhances a stock 6809 Level II system for those
|
|
who don't want to go 6309.
|
|
When is a tentative date for the release of Nitros9?
|
|
How much will it cost?
|
|
Is 19.2K going to be a reality!?!?
|
|
Is Tune-Up at all comparable to Nitros9?
|
|
|
|
I don't have the answer to all these questions, but tomorrow
|
|
night plenty of light will be shed by Northern Xposure, so don't miss
|
|
out :-)
|
|
See Ya

The RS232 spec indicates a voltage range, not a specific voltage and

I believe the Ken-Ton pak is on the low end of that range. If a serial

RE: Line Printer V (Re: Msg 90087)

The linprinters were all PARALLEL ports! None of the Tandy printers were
|
|
serial until the CoCo came along, with the exception of a few daisy wheel
|
|
printers.
|
|
The TRS-80 models used parallel printers also. The CoCo was designed toe
|
|
a low cost system, and it was determined that a serial port would make more
|
|
sense,
|
|
because it could be used for several different devices and also could be
|
|
partially
|
|
software driven, reducing the amount of hardware needed (therefore reducing

costs).

You are using a CoCo? Probably is not set to send a carrier detect. The
|
|
ACIA will not receive anything from the modem until it senses a Carrier
|
|
Detect.. The Hayes command is "at&c0".

Try using a syscall (as Tim said in his message). The +13 comes from the
|
|
Shell.
|
|
|
|
Try This:
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE forktest
|
|
TYPE registers=dat(8),add(5):INTEGER
|
|
DIM regs:registers
|
|
DIM callcode:INTEGER
|
|
DIM name:STRING[32]
|
|
DIM parm:STRING[256]
|
|
name:="dir"
|
|
REM program name
|
|
callcode:=3
|
|
REM F$Fork
|
|
regs.dat(1):=0
|
|
REM lang/type code (0=any)
|
|
regs.dat(2):=32000
|
|
REM optional mem modifier
|
|
regs.dat(3):=256
|
|
REM size of param memory
|
|
regs.dat(4):=3
|
|
REM number of paths to inherit
|
|
regs.dat(5):=130
|
|
REM priority setting
|
|
regs.add(1):=ADDR(name)
|
|
regs.add(3):=ADDR(parm)
|
|
regs.add(2):=0
|
|
RUN syscall(callcode,regs)
|
|
|
|
Works for me!!!

Ghostscript
|
|
From: MRGOOD To: JOHNREED
|
|
|
|
John,
|
|
|
|
I've finally begun to play with Ghostscript. Unfortunately, I haven't
|
|
had much luck yet. I'm using gs2 rev. 3.
|
|
|
|
I can get a kwindows preview, what I can't get is a printout. If I try
|
|
to use the escp2 device, nothing happens. Specifically, I try to
|
|
process chess.ps. GS runs for a while then drops to a GS> prompt.
|
|
No file is created in /dd/tmp.
|
|
|
|
The command line I tried is:
|
|
|
|
gs2 -sDEVICE=escp2 chess.ps
|
|
|
|
Any ideas?
|
|

First, due to a little oversight by yours truly, Ghostscript likes
|
|
to find its target directory in env variable TEMP -- AND, it has
|
|
to end with a slash. --setenv TEMP /dd/tmp/--. Without that,
|
|
you might find the output in your working directory with a name
|
|
that starts with "tmp". (oops)
|
|
|
|
You can also set your own path on the command line by changing
|
|
your line to
|
|
|
|
gs2 -sDEVICE=escp2 -sOUTPUTFILE=chess.printer chess.ps
|
|
|
|
("chess.printer") could be replaced by ANY legal os9 name or
|
|
complete path.
|
|
|
|
Then, "merge" the printer file to the printer.
|
|
|
|
-sOUTPUTFILE=/p also works -- but you have to zero all the
|
|
values in the printer descriptor first. (with xmode).
|
|
|
|
That should get it working for you. Yell if you still have
|
|
trouble.

Have you tried the -sOUTPUTFILE option? When I've tried
|
|
|
|
-sOUTPUTFILE=/p
|
|
|
|
it worked just fine for me. (I had to turn off the tabc and lf options on

Marty;

I am looking at getting a new printer. What I would like to get is a
|
|
LASER printer Will this work with a COCO3 and the parallel port on a
|
|
disto 4n1 board. I thought I remembered you listing a pinout for it or
|
|
at least some instruction on how to hook one up in the '68 Micro
|
|
a while back. could you help me with this ? Can this connection be
|
|
made thru the use of just a parrallel cable?

From: MARTYGOODMAN To: DONALDS (NR)
|
|
|

I see no reason why a laser printer can't be physically hooked to
|
|
the parallel port of a Disto 4 in 1 board. Tho I have heard of ONE
|
|
case where a CoCo style serial to parallel printer COULD NOT
|
|
work with the parallel port of a given make and model of EPson
|
|
printer, due to some obscure timing problem on the strobe line.
|
|
|
|
The main problem I see, tho, is that most Laser Printers work in
|
|
Hewlet Packard Laserjet - compatible mode, which requires long
|
|
escape sequences to define fonts, underline, bold, etc. No CoCo
|
|
software I know of supports this. Some laser printers, tho,
|
|
can be set to emulate an Epson printer, and this might make things
|
|
easier for use with CoCo word processing programs.

Marty,
|
|
|
|
The only program for the CoCo that I know of which supports long escape
|
|
sequences for printers is VPrint from Bob van der Poel. If VPrint is used
|
|
with a good text editor, powerful word processing is possible with OS9 and
|
|
probably a laser printer too.

Thanks Howard, and thanks too for the tip on the books.
|

|
|
The REAL credit for Ghostscript goes to L. Peter Deutsch of Aladdin,
|
|
(ghost@aladdin.com) and a long list of helpers.
|
|
|
|
I just fumbled with it until I got the MM/1 and the GNU compiler
|
|
to swallow it without choking. (GRIN).

New Tex Upload
|
|
From: JOHNREED To: TIMKIENTZLE (NR)
|
|
|
|
Tim,
|
|
Grabbed your new TeX system over the weekend.
|
|
Followed your instructions, ran the install script
|
|
and sat back and watched.
|
|
|
|
Nice Job!
|
|
|
|
So far, everything works just as it should on my machine
|
|
(MM/1a, 9-meg).
|
|
|
|
The ONLY error message I saw was when Metafont (called by
|
|
dvips) tried to copy it's ".tfm" files into
|
|
"/dd/sys/tex/fonts/tfm/new" - no "/new" directory. I assume
|
|
the "/new" directory would be there to save new ".tfm".s in
|
|
case they were not in the TFM dir already. That error did
|
|
NOT stop the program.
|
|
|
|
I tested the regular executables first, then installed the
|
|
ones in the "BIG" directory, using your instructions and
|
|
scripts again. Then ran a HUGE tex file that I had been
|
|
unable to run before. (It worked, of course)
|
|
|
|
Now all I have to do is read all those doc files, and maybe
|
|
buy another book.
|
|
|
|
Looks like you put a lot of time into this one -- Thanks.
