This program is an attempt to try to make a very simple
|
|
ST to ST link. The main objective was to make it as transparent as
|
|
possible to the user and to other programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOADING AND SETUP
|
|
|
|
ANET uses three user vectors starting at $200 and the drivemap
|
|
located at $4C2. A reset using the reset buttom sometimes does not
|
|
clear the lower system memory so if this program is resident you must
|
|
use a cold start "power off and power on" or a reboot program for it to
|
|
be reloaded correctly when you run the ANETWORK.PRG or ANETCTRL.PRG after
|
|
the reboot. The ANETCTRL.PRG has a reboot selection on the MENU.
|
|
|
|
Double-click on the ANETWORK.PRG to load the resident program then
|
|
double-click on the ANETCTRL.PRG to load the control program. After the
|
|
first load you can usually load both the resident and control programs by
|
|
running ANETCTRL.PRG after a reboot.
|
|
|
|
ONLY LOAD THE ANETWORK.PRG IF YOU GET A MODULA-2 ERROR
|
|
TRYING TO RUN ANETCTRL.PRG FIRST. AS IT WILL LOAD THE ANETWORK.PRG FOR YOU.
|
|
|
|
The control program lets you set the baud rate, reboot the ST,
|
|
reset the network message sequence count, turn the network on and off,
|
|
see which ICONS to install to use the remote disks and of course to quit
|
|
the control program. The NEW command on the sequence MENU is to resync
|
|
the remote program if it gets out of sync due to a reboot, hang or and
|
|
error condition. Click the mouse on NEW to send a resync command to the
|
|
remote and try to access the ICON again.
|
|
MAKE INT on the mode MENU will make a network setup file called
|
|
ANETWORK.INT that ANETWORK.PRG reads to set the baud rate and to turn
|
|
the netork on or off. ANETCTRL.PRG also reads the INT file when it is
|
|
loaded and uses the parameters to set up the menu values. Clicking the
|
|
pointer on MAKE INT will save the current menu values on the ANETCTRL.PRG
|
|
menu to a new ANETWORK.INT file.
|
|
|
|
To load the dial menu make a file called ANETWORK.DIL. It can
|
|
have up to 16 entrys for phone numbers. Each entry must be terminated with
|
|
a RETURN. If you have a HAYES modem enter the dial code, the number, a
|
|
space, then the name of the service or person.

Example:
|
|
ATDT696-0060 genie
|
|
ATDT691-7862 CIS

|
USE
|
|
|
|
Install the ICONS on the GEM DESKTOP for the remote system drive(s)
|
|
you wish to access, then just use them just like any other disk drive. Due
|
|
to the slower serial access it is usally better to copy the file a local
|
|
disk if you wish to edit or run the file. Every effort has been made to
|
|
make sure it is error free but I would only use it to read from the remote
|
|
rather that sending files due to a crash may cause disk file links to be
|
|
lost while creating new files on the remote system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need a crossover cable for the ST to ST connection.
|
|
like this.

It is possible to use a modem using a std cable from the ST to modem.
