This is a SHAREWARE product. That means we would like you to
pass around unregistered copies to other people. If you have
a modem, please upload it to your favourite bulletin board
system, or give a copy to a friend who you think might need
a program like this. Shareware means sharing! Pass it on!

DESCRIPTION
===============================================================================
"Carrier" is a simple utility for detecting the modem carrier (and setting the
DOS ERRORLEVEL accordingly) for COM1 to COM4.
You can get a full explanation, by entering CARRIER at the DOS prompt. It
displays the following screen:
Program: Carrier
Copyright: (C) 1993 by Pinnacle Software
Version: 1.00A (93-01-01-CA)
Support: Dial 514-345-9578
Purpose: Detects carrier on given port
COM1 to COM4 are supported explicitly
Other ports are supported by decimal address
Format: CARRIER port or address
Examples: CARRIER 1 (i.e. COM1)
CARRIER 1016 (corresponds to COM1)
Defaults: None
Returns: 255 on error or this help screen
0 if no carrier is present
1 if a carrier is detected
Here is a sample batch file to test the carrier on COM1:
@ECHO OFF
CARRIER 1
IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO QUIT
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO GOTCARR
ECHO No carrier was detected!
GOTO QUIT
:GOTCARR
ECHO A carrier was detected!
:QUIT
Please note that as per DOS batch programming requirements, you MUST test the
higher errorlevels first -- see your DOS manual's explanation of IF ERRORLEVEL
for details.
