- TOPIC: BYE5 inserts currently available for CP/M-80 systems
-
- DATE : 06/08/86

- FROM : Irv Hoff

-
- BYE5.ASM takes full advantage of the result codes returned by modems
- using 'AT' protocol. It uses the terse mode to recognize the speed of
- the incoming signal and automatically adjusts the computer I/O to that
- speed, without the user needing to type any CR's. This is of particular
- benefit for RCPM systems using the new 300/1200/2400 modems. (For those
- modems not supporting the 'AT' protocol, the caller will still need to
- type enough CR characters to establish his speed.)
-
- No external smartmodem inserts are needed, except for systems such as
- the Cermetek or Pen-tel which use their own protocol. The included
- smartmodem routines also allow answering on first ring, with optional
- echo-checking required by some modems for insured accuracy of command
- accectance.
-
- Occasionally some major feature is added to BYE which causes the name to
- be changed. BYE3 added automatic relocation of the program as an "RSX"
- under CCP. BYE5 permits using its hardware I/O and time clock functions
- by KMD which then needs no additonal overlays for I/O or time functions.
- (The name BYE4 had already been used.)
-
- KMD not only does not need any inserts but also uses 1k protocol for
- faster file transfers, especially for those having 2400 bps modems. It
- replaces XMODEM. Both IMP and MEX114 support the 1k protocol while re-
- taining the older XMODEM and Christensen protocols. (KMD also has batch
- mode available for all users.)
-
- BYE5 and KMD are so easy to bring up, it will pleasantly surprise the
- user. Put the appropriate insert below into BYE5, set the equates to
- suit (only 4-5 need be changed, if any, from the distribution version),
- set the equates on KMD to suit (you may not need to change any) and you
- should be up and running - often in less than a half-hour for installing
- both programs. Things have been tremendously simplified over earlier
- versions of BYE, BYEII, BYE2 and BYE3, although the programs have gained
- in versatility for unusual applications and for keeping the SYSOP in-
- formed as to what is happening on his system.
-
- - Notes by Irv Hoff W6FFC
-
-
- REMEMBER: These are inserts, not overlays. They go into
- BYE5 at the area specifified by the ++++ char-
- acters, near the start of the program.
-
- These have all been renumbered and and renamed to
- six characters length to eliminate confusion with
- mainframe systems limited to six characters per
- filename.
-
- There is always a possibility of conflict with
- names selected for labels - if your assembler
- shows duplicate labels, it should be simple to
- select a different name in that event.
