- artser 37.6 - replacement serial.device
- By CBM & Arthur Hagen
- Latest version compiled on 4/21/1993.
- =======================================
-
- Just a debugged and optimised version of the C= serial.device 37.4.
- All functions should be identical, but this one should be somewhat
- faster and safer (the original contained code that trashed a byte when
- closing the device).
- To use this program, place it in your devs: directory, and select
- artser.device instead of serial.device in your comms program.
-
- Note to NComm users:
- Because of a bug in NComm, it won't help if you select artser.device
- as the device in the menu, since serial.device already is present in
- memory, and thus artser.device cannot be loaded, since NComm "forgets"
- to expunge the serial.device before loading the new one. To use
- artser.device, edit the file NComm:NComm.config, and replace the text
- "serial.device" with "artser.device". Then save and reboot before
- starting NComm again.
-
- Note to users of other comms packages:
- If you cannot set the device in your comms program, don't despair.
- Rename your old serial device to devs:oldser.device or something
- similar, and rename artser.device to devs:serial.device.
- Then edit or zap this file, and replace the two occurences of the
- string "artser" with "serial". If you already have used your comms
- package since last reboot, you might have to reboot again before the
- change will have any effect.
-
- Enjoy,
- *Art
