- This program is an attempt to try to make a very simple
- ST to ST link. The main objective was to make it as transparent as
- possible to the user and to other programs.
-
-
- LOADING AND SETUP
-
- ANET uses three user vectors starting at $200 and the drivemap
- located at $4C2. A reset using the reset buttom sometimes does not
- clear the lower system memory so if this program is resident you must
- use a cold start "power off and power on" or a reboot program for it to
- be reloaded correctly when you run the ANETWORK.PRG or ANETCTRL.PRG after
- the reboot. The ANETCTRL.PRG has a reboot selection on the MENU.
-
- Double-click on the ANETWORK.PRG to load the resident program then
- double-click on the ANETCTRL.PRG to load the control program. After the
- first load you can usually load both the resident and control programs by
- running ANETCTRL.PRG after a reboot.
-
- ONLY LOAD THE ANETWORK.PRG IF YOU GET A MODULA-2 ERROR
- TRYING TO RUN ANETCTRL.PRG FIRST. AS IT WILL LOAD THE ANETWORK.PRG FOR YOU.
-
- The control program lets you set the baud rate, reboot the ST,
- reset the network message sequence count, turn the network on and off,
- see which ICONS to install to use the remote disks and of course to quit
- the control program. The NEW command on the sequence MENU is to resync
- the remote program if it gets out of sync due to a reboot, hang or and
- error condition. Click the mouse on NEW to send a resync command to the
- remote and try to access the ICON again.
- MAKE INT on the mode MENU will make a network setup file called
- ANETWORK.INT that ANETWORK.PRG reads to set the baud rate and to turn
- the netork on or off. ANETCTRL.PRG also reads the INT file when it is
- loaded and uses the parameters to set up the menu values. Clicking the
- pointer on MAKE INT will save the current menu values on the ANETCTRL.PRG
- menu to a new ANETWORK.INT file.
-
- To load the dial menu make a file called ANETWORK.DIL. It can
- have up to 16 entrys for phone numbers. Each entry must be terminated with
- a RETURN. If you have a HAYES modem enter the dial code, the number, a
- space, then the name of the service or person.
-
- Example:
- ATDT696-0060 genie
- ATDT691-7862 CIS

-
- USE
-
- Install the ICONS on the GEM DESKTOP for the remote system drive(s)
- you wish to access, then just use them just like any other disk drive. Due
- to the slower serial access it is usally better to copy the file a local
- disk if you wish to edit or run the file. Every effort has been made to
- make sure it is error free but I would only use it to read from the remote
- rather that sending files due to a crash may cause disk file links to be
- lost while creating new files on the remote system.
-
-
- You need a crossover cable for the ST to ST connection.
- like this.
