- CPM-86 Kermit for Rainbow - 'SET BAUD' modifications
- ====================================================
-
- The modifications implement three new features:
-
- 1. Set baud
- ===========
-
- The 'SET BAUD' subcommand has been implemented and works as on the CPM-80
- implementation. The user is presented with a 'menu' of speeds and chooses one
- by pressing the appropriate key. To change the baud rate simply type 'SET
- BAUD' and choose the required speed.
-
-
- 2. Show baud
- ============
-
- The 'SHOBD' routine has been implemented so that both 'SHOW' and 'STATUS'
- list the currently selected baud rate.
-
-
- 3. Default baud rate set
- ========================
-
- The program now sets a default baud rate (currently 2400), this being
- determined at assembly time. To change the default speed modify the value
- assigned to 'DEFBD' ('DEFBD' is defined in the C86XXX file) and re-assemble as
- described in the main help file. The internal speed codes are given in the
- source file comments.
-
-
- Other Points
- ============
-
- These modifications override the speed set by the VT-100 terminal emulator,
- the VT-100 values being re-instated when kermit terminates. If the VT-100 set
- up pages are used to modify the baud rate while kermit is running then the
- baud rate shown by 'SHOW' may be incorrect as the set up pages will modify the
- baud rate back from any set by kermit. If this does occur set up the baud rate
- again from kermit with the 'SET BAUD' command.
- All the described modifications and additions are to the C86XXX.A86 system
- depend I/O procedures module of the source and are fully documented and
- commented in the source code.
