BAUDCHG : Baud Rate Change Utility
Version 1.00, 22-Jun-1987
SMG Software
(C) Copyright 1987 by
Steven Georgiades
All Rights Reserved
This program is a utility which, once installed resident in
memory, will allow you to change any or all of the standard baud rates
available on the PC to any other standard baud rate, or one of the
extended baud rates allowed by this program (19200, 38400, 57600 or
115200). This is useful for programs which are hard coded for a
particular baud rate, but which you need to operate at a differate
rate. It is also useful for performing high-speed direct-link
transfers between PC's, or between a PC and peripheral equipment. If
you use this program on two PC's, you may perform transfers between
those PC's at up to 115200 Baud!
This program was inspired by my own earlier program, 19200, which
allowed the PC to operate at 19200 Baud. A great deal of flexibility
has been added to make this program quite useful in overcoming baud-
rate compatibility problems.
To use this program, enter the program name ("BAUDCHG"),
optionally followed by the baud rate to be replaced and the new baud
rate. For example, if you enter "BAUDCHG 110 115200", then telling
your communications program to run at 110 baud will actually cause it
to run at 115200 baud. You may change the baud rates at any time after
installing the program, using the same command format. The program
will be able to detect that it has already been installed, and will not
occupy more memory if run multiple times. If you omit the parameters,
the program will simply respond with the current baud rate settings,
and if the program is not yet resident, it will be installed in memory.
Command Format:
BAUDCHG [old-baud new-baud]
old-baud = Baud Rate to Replace. Permitted Values are: 110,
150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600.
new-baud = Baud Rate to Replace with. Values are the same as
old-baud, plus 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.
Examples:
BAUDCHG (Will respond with current baud rate settings)
BAUDCHG 9600 115200 (Will replace 9600 baud with 115200 baud)

Please make checks payable to Steven M. Georgiades. Note that you are
not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the software
regularly, you are MORALLY obligated to do so. Aside from easing your
conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette containing
the latest version of the software (unless you currently have the
latest version, in which case I will send you the next major revision),
a printed version of the documentation (8-1/2 x 11, unless you specify
6-1/4 x 8-1/2), and basic user support, which means that I will work
with you to resolve problems, and will do minor customization. Full
registration will get you everything that basic registration does, plus
full user support, which includes telephone support and all major
revisions of the software for two (2) years from the date of
registration. Fully registered users will also receive new SMG
releases from time to time for evaluation. In return for these
evaluations, the user will receive full registration for the new
software at no charge. When you register, please specify the name of
the program, and the version number.
Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
the user may evaluate the software fully.
