- This program will turn your pc or jr. into an RTTY terminal.
- The program has many features.
-
-
- Among the many features are:
-
- 1. Eight (8) selectable buffers of 1000 bytes each.
- 2. Type ahead into any selected buffer.
- 3. Load disk file into buffer.
- 4. Send a disk file.
- 5. Preview a buffer.
- 6. 60/66/75 or 100 WPM Baud speeds.
- 7. 110 or 300 Baud ASCII.
- 8. USOS on/off.
- 9. Send "Quick Brown Fox".
- 10. Send "RYs".
- 11. Load a standard message for transmission.
- 12. Send all data from screen to your printer.
- 13. Send any of the buffers as required.
-
-
-
- Function Keys are defined as follows:
-
-
- <F1> Allows the operator to switch between 60 and 100
- WPM Baud speeds.
-
- <F2> Allows the operator to switch between 67 and 75
- WPM Baud speeds.
-
- <F3> Allows the operator to switch between 110 and 300
- Baud ASCII speeds.
-
- <F4> Sends the standard file which is loaded when the program is
- first brought up. The program loads into a buffer from a
- file named "GIGO" [Garabage-In-Garbage-Out]. As with all
- of the buffers, the maximum size for GIGO is 1000 characters.
-
- <F5> Allows you to send any [-ASCII-] disk file.
-
- <F6> Permits you to type data from your keyboard into any of
- the selected buffers for later transmissions.
-
- <F7> Allows you to display selected buffer on the CRT.
-
- <F8> This function will allow the operator to load a ASCII disk
- file into a selected buffer. If the file length is greater
- than 999 bytes, only the first 998 bytes of the disk file
- will be loaded.
-
- <F9> Sends the data from a selected buffer.
-
- <F10> Displays the Main Menu for the RTTY program.
-
-
-
- The following function/number keys should be pressed at the same
- time as the "ALT" key is held down.
-
-
- <ALT+F1> Enables or disables the Un-Shift-On-Space flag.
-
- <ALT+F2> Sends "Quick Brown Fox".
-
- <ALT+F3> Sends a single line of "RY's".
-
- <ALT+F4> Enables or disables the printer. If there is no printer,
- or the printer is out of paper, a "NO-PTR" message will
- appear on line 25 of the display, causing this function
- to be disabled.
-
- <ALT+F5> Forces the incoming data to be LETTERS.
-
- <ALT+1 to ALT+8> Select buffer 1 through 8 as desired.
-
-
- <ESC> Allows you to re set the display.
-
- <CTRL+F10> By pressing the "CTRL" key and then the "F10" key, you will
- exit the RTTY program and return to the system prompt.
-
-
-
- Special functions:
-
-
- When the character - ~ - [tilda] is found, the current time will be
- inserted in any of the data sent, whether from a disk file, typed into
- a buffer, or a disk file in a buffer,
-
- Whenever you are not typing data into a buffer, you will be transmitting
- data out the RS-232 port of your pc.
-
- This program will allow you to select either com1 or com2 for your
- RTTY I/O.
-
- Line 25 will display the current status of the program. It will tell
- you the current speed, USOS [On or Off], printer status [ON/OFF Not On Line].
- While you are typing into a selected buffer, number of characters typed into
- the buffer, and which buffer has been selected.
