- SlikMode - Copyright 1989 Software For Cash, Inc.
-
- This is a rather silly program written in one afternoon in response to a bet
- (more like a dare). The original problem was trying to write to a serial
- device (laser printer) that could handle 19200 baud, but good old DOS 3.3's
- MODE command won't accept any baud rate over 9600.
-
- You can use this to set the UART to just about any baud you wish, which
- becomes handy when you wish to communicate with odd-ball devices, such as
- the engine-control computer in your car.
-
- It works much like the DOS MODE command, with the exceptions that it only
- touches the COM port(s) and is command-line-switch driven, which I prefer
- over having the check the book about the order of the original MODE
- command's operands.
-
- The source is written in MicroSoft C and the executable module was
- compiled using version 6.0A. It has undergone limited testing on a
- variety of machines (XT's, AT's, PS/2's, and some almost-100% compatible's)
- with no known problems.
-
- Please drop me a line if you have questions, comments, whatever.
-
- SlikMode is BeerWare - If you like it, send me a case of beer.
