Got a new "toy" a couple days ago - "Carets by Hand Deluxe" - a text
|
|
reco package (CARETS = ChAracter RETyping System), which works with the
|
|
DFI HS-3000 hand scanner!
|
|
I just scanned a little product item in the March Byte mag (about
|
|
the WILLOW TV-compatible VGA) and got about 7 errors in maybe a K of
|
|
text - pretty impressive!
|
|
It can learn new monospaced or porportional fonts, handles ligatures
|
|
(fl type combos that are joined). When training, you can tell it to
|
|
split things it mis-interpreted, or join things it accidentally split,
|
|
and many other features.
|
|
It seems to do virtually flawless recognition of HPLJ courier, and
|
|
comes with recognition fonts for US News & World Report, Byte, TIME,
|
|
Scientific American, PC World - and possibly others, I forget.
|
|
A friend at work came up with a novel idea - NOT correcting words it
|
|
scanned - when you have scanned them just to have a hard copy of an
|
|
article - your "mind" can fill in the typos. All you might want to do
|
|
is ensure the "key words" in the article are correct should you wish to
|
|
use something like Gofer or LookFor (or even grep) to find text.
|
|
Pretty slick!
|
|
I'll upload the article "as scanned" in the next message.

to ALL re: USING THE TIMER TICK
|
|
|
|
To anyone,
|
|
I'm trying to use the clock interrupt on the PC. I can get
|
|
the interrupt vectored to my handler correctly but the interrupt routine
|
|
is unable to access any variables in my local data segment. This is
|
|
probably something to do with a missing pseudo-op or something but
|
|
I don't know. Also, I need to increase the clock rate to about 50 Hz.
|
|
How would I do this? Thanks, Jim K.

If your still looking for a consultant (I was working COMDEX for the last

week so I may be a bit tardy) my firm probably fits your description.
|

We specialize in real-time control and embedded systems. I'm an expert
|
|
in 8085 assembler and C, and have 3 years experience coding in C and
|
|
assembler on the 68000. I used an Applied Microsystems emulator in
|
|
that work. The job entailed developing a embedded system for conversion
|
|
of typesetting code. If you are interested or want details give me a

|
|
to JAMES KARAGANIS re: R/USING THE TIMER TICK
|
|
|
|
I can only offer some general hints, not et having tackled such a project,
|
|
but here goes. When an interrupt is serviced, all segment registers
|
|
except for the CODE segment haven't been changed from what they were
|
|
when the interrupt came along. You'll have to explicitly load up the
|
|
data and stack segment registers, as well as the extra segment if you're
|
|
going to use it.
|
|
|
|
If you want to increase the clock-tick rate, you'll need to do two
|
|
things: 1) you'll have to reprogram the timer chip to put out a faster
|
|
rate and 2) your interrupt routine will have to divide the rate down
|
|
as far as calling the old routine goes (otherwise DOS's date and time
|
|
will get messed up. In other words, you'll have to maintain a counter
|
|
which you decrement each time you enter your routine. When it eaches
|
|
zero, you call the original routine and reload the counter. This gets
|
|
a bit tricky, because the new clock rate is 2.75 times the old one,
|
|
which means that you'll need to maintain another counter that tells
|
|
you when you have to call the original routine an extra time in order
|
|
to compensate for rounding (you might try calling the old routine once
|
|
every three ticks, and an extra time every thirty ticks).

Jim; Well long time no hear from !
|
|
The other reply to your msg was correct, I always stick the data
|
|
I need in an interrupt service routine in the code segment along
|
|
with the routine. Cause, on interrupt service the only register
|
|
that has a known value is the code segment (CS).

|
|
CBBS how has an interrupt driven front-end, and should be MORE responsive
|
|
to input, i.e. I'm no longer losing chars which I accidentally type too soon
|
|
after hitting return, for example.
|
|
Do you have an MNP modem? If you do, then it WILL, of necessity, BE less
|
|
responsive because the modems are 'packetizing' and 'handshaking' (here's
|
|
some data, did you get it? Yep, I got it) etc.
|
|
Could that explain it?

|
|
The scanner handles +/- 5 degrees or so - it is in other words, not
|
|
very sensitive to the scanning angle. It is most sensitive to the
|
|
contrast control - if too light, gaps appear in scanned letters, and if
|
|
too dark, tightly spaced text starts to bleed together.
|
|
So far the worst trouble I've found was trying to get it to read a hard
|
|
cover book, which basically has a fairly large font, and the "W" and "M"
|
|
chars are sufficiently wide that it has a teeny bit of problem with 'em.
|
|
For example, look at this:
|
|
This is an example of the many things that can happen might read as:
|
|
This is an exarnple of the n:any things that can happen
|
|
Heh heh - I got a kick out of "rn" being an "m" - it actually LOOKS like
|
|
an "m"!
|
|
Owell, I'll have more time to experiment with it - haven't had that much
|
|
time - and though the book says "don't start working with training fonts
|
|
until you've gone through the 8 lessons in the book", like most users, I
|
|
found myself barely getting into it before going ahead to training. There
|
|
are a few things I've probably missed. For example, there's a "retrain"
|
|
function key - I think that's if it consistently says an i is a !, you can
|
|
"retrain" it to say "when you THINK you have a !, make it an i".
|
|
Strangely, it is VERY VERY enjoyable working with the scanner - 'psyching'
|
|
out why it made certain substitutions, etc.

I guess I counted wrong. I had Turbo 3.0, an uprade from 2.whatever.
|
|
My experience with PASCAL was using Turbo to finish the course and
|
|
then selling it, vowing never to look at PASCAL again.
|
|
|
|
I wasn't sure that was a Turbo 4.0 for CP/M. I asked a Borland rep
|
|
at Comdex and he started making speeches about MACintosh software.
|
|
Guess he didn't know what CP/M was and tried to vamp.

Answering to Basic Compiler
|
|
Did you check out Microsoft's Basic Compiler?
|
|
It has alot of neat feature, plus it compiles very fast. Also, did you look
|
|
at Turbo Basic. For a minimal cost, it comes with a compiler and some
|
|
other utilities that may help you. If you know Basic like me, it can
|
|
really be helpful. If you have any questions, please call me at:
