- This program is a utility which, once installed resident in
- memory, will allow you to change any or all of the standard baud rates
- available on the PC to any other standard baud rate, or one of the
- extended baud rates allowed by this program (19200, 38400, 57600 or
- 115200). This is useful for programs which are hard coded for a
- particular baud rate, but which you need to operate at a differate
- rate. It is also useful for performing high-speed direct-link
- transfers between PC's, or between a PC and peripheral equipment. If
- you use this program on two PC's, you may perform transfers between
- those PC's at up to 115200 Baud!
- This program was inspired by my own earlier program, 19200, which
- allowed the PC to operate at 19200 Baud. A great deal of flexibility
- has been added to make this program quite useful in overcoming baud-
- rate compatibility problems.
- To use this program, enter the program name ("BAUDCHG"),
- optionally followed by the baud rate to be replaced and the new baud
- rate. For example, if you enter "BAUDCHG 110 115200", then telling
- your communications program to run at 110 baud will actually cause it
- to run at 115200 baud. You may change the baud rates at any time after
- installing the program, using the same command format. The program
- will be able to detect that it has already been installed, and will not
- occupy more memory if run multiple times. If you omit the parameters,
- the program will simply respond with the current baud rate settings,
- and if the program is not yet resident, it will be installed in memory.
-
-
- Command Format:
-
- BAUDCHG [old-baud new-baud]
-
- old-baud = Baud Rate to Replace. Permitted Values are: 110,
- 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600.
-
- new-baud = Baud Rate to Replace with. Values are the same as
- old-baud, plus 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.
-
-
- Examples:
-
- BAUDCHG (Will respond with current baud rate settings)
-
- BAUDCHG 9600 115200 (Will replace 9600 baud with 115200 baud)
