comTAP Version 2.1x
-------------------
Protocol Analyzer and Line Scope
- - - -
comTAP is a powerful serial communications analyzer designed as a
high performance tool for software and hardware professionals.
Now you can eliminate guesswork about asynchronous transmissions,
connections, character timing, and serial events without purchasing
an expensive hardware monitor.
comTAP requires minimal setup. You can run the program immediately,
but be sure to examine or print COMTAP.DOC before starting. Any of
the files with the .DOC extension can be printed with the DOS "print"
command. For example, to print this file, type PRINT COMTAP.DOC at
the DOS prompt.
Once you examine the program, you may wish to build a monitoring
cable to capture bidirectional conversations and experiment with the
more advanced features of comTAP. Print CABLE.DOC for the diagram and
pinout of an easy to build, basic monitoring cable.
LIST OF FILES
-------------
Two types of files are present in the shareware product version:
Files that are necessary for comTAP operation, and documentation
files. Both groups are listed below for reference. All files in both
groups should be present after you have installed the program.
Operational Files
-----------------
PALS.EXE comTAP executable file.
PALS.CFG Default configuration kernel file.
ORIGINAL.CFG A copy of PALS.CFG.
PALS.HLP On-line, context sensitive help file.
TILEKEYS.OVL Pre-recorded macro-key display screens.
data\DATA.BIN Demonstration log file.
color\*.NUM 16 pre-defined color character sets
conditionally installed.

Documentation Files
-------------------
COMTAP.DOC Shareware information text file.
MICROTAP.DOC Description file of the professional
version of comTAP, called MicroTAP.
CABLE.DOC Shareware cable description file.
REGISTER.DOC Registered version order form.
READ.ME This file (contains the most recent
comTAP product information).
The Shareware Concept
---------------------
comTAP is distributed on a Shareware basis. You may use comTAP
without charge for the purposes of evaluating it's usefulness and
suitability to task. If you find comTAP worthwhile, then you should
order a registered version of the program. Registered copies of the
program allow complete access to all program functions without
registration reminders and come with a detailed user's manual,
monitor cables and two serial connectors. An order form is already
prepared in ORDERFRM.DOC - simply print this file, supply the
necessary information and mail it in to us with your payment. An
invoice will be shipped automatically with your order.
comTAP will soon have additional capabilities and enhancements, and
as a registered user you will be entitled to low cost upgrades to the
newest versions as soon as they are released. Most importantly
however, by registering your copy of comTAP (or any Shareware
product), you'll ensure the survival of the convenient and risk free
distribution method that originally brought you comTAP.
If you have paid a small fee to a Users' Group, "Software Library" or
"SIG" to receive this copy, you have NOT acquired the registered
rights or continued right to use comTAP. This fee was for the
convenience of obtaining the comTAP diskette, and cannot be applied
toward the purchase of a registered copy.
You may freely copy comTAP for distribution under the Shareware
concept, without charge, providing you distribute the original file
without modifcation. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or
disassemble the software. You may not rent or lease the software to
other persons. You may not charge any fee for the comTAP program or
documentation without our express written approval. Similarly, you
may not distribute comTAP or it's documentation in connection with
any commercial venture, product, publication or service without our
express written approval.
