- There is a set of high level UDF's that are being rewritten from COMET,
- single port , to the new COMET-MP. Check CompuSolve's BBS for release
- information.
-
- These UDF's will include:
-
- 1) HAYES modem commands/functions
- 2) Automated background CALL & ANSWER routines
- 3) UDF's to eliminate the CALL COMETMP WITH syntax
-
- Thank you for purchasing COMET-MP!

- Release Notes
-
- ********************** COMET-MP Version 1.06 *******************
- 06/05/91
- - New command INPUTB (B = Binary) added to make COMET return all
- data from its receive buffer, including Binary 0's or NULLs.
- The INPUT command always strips out any NULLs.
- ENTRY: <varC> = 'INPUTB #P,?????' + SPACE(cnt) [+ CHR(t) ]
-
- - New command OUTPUTB added to make COMET output all characters
- without any outbound translation of CHR(255)'s to NULLs. The
- OUTPUT command considers a NULL to mark the end of <expC> and
- hence will not output any binary 0's / NULLs.
-
- ENTRY: <varC> = 'OUTPUTB #P,len,string'
- #P = desired port #
- len = length of string ie. # characters to output
- string = characters to output
-
- eg. OUTBCmd = 'OUTPUTB #2,11,12345' + CHR(0) + '67890'
- CALL COMETMP WITH OUTBCmd
-
-
- ********************** COMET-MP Version 1.05 *******************
- 05/22/91
- - FIND command fixed. With prior versions FIND could mess up some
- internal receive buffer pointers if COM data was being received
- while FIND was executing.
- - AUTOLF command added. "AUTOLF 1" enables automatic line feed generation
- for each CR received. "AUTOLF 0" disables auto linefeeds (the default).
- This command will affect all received data, including ARECV capturing.
-
- ********************** COMET-MP Version 1.04 *******************
- 05/09/91
- - New commands X1RECV and X1SEND added to support XModem-1K protocols.
- These new commands use same syntax as XRECV & XSEND.
- ie. expC = "X1RECV filename"
- CALL COMET WITH expC
-
- - MSTAT now requires only SPACE(18) as suggested in manual, whereas
- code was looking for 20.
-
- - ONDCD & ONDONE gave syntax error "?," if: "ONDCD #n" or "ONDONE #n"
- v1.04 no longer requires comma when disabling these event traps
-
- - XOR|LRC commands added that calculate 1 byte longitudinal redundancy check
- (LRC) for string. Both commands perform the same thing.
- format: <expC> = 'XOR string ' or <expC> = 'LRC string '
- The LRC character is calculated by consecutively XORing <expC> chars
- beginning with the 1st character after "XOR " and ending with the
- next to last character. The last character is where COMET writes
- the calculated LRC value.
