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.
