- Notes for Revision 4.0
If you have just acquired the shareware version of the LiteComm(tm)
Toolbox, try the QBTTL sample program and look over its code, feel free
to experiment with the functions and, if you like what you see, please
register and join our list of satisfied users from all over the world.
If you've registered LiteComm, thank you. Your registration helps make
it possible for us to continue supporting and enhancing the product.
REGISTERED USERS PLEASE NOTE:
The serial number of your copy is found on the diskette label, not in
the lserial.num file as mentioned in the documentation.
With Revision 4.0, the most critical portion of the kernel, the
interrupt handlers have been recoded in assembly language, further
improving its ability to handle higher baud rates. Some additional
functions have been added to the package as well. See the
documentation section "New in Version 4.0" for additional details.
NOTE CAREFUULY!!!
If you have used LiteComm before, it will be necessry for you to
re-compile and relink your applications, primarily do to changes that
we instituted in the Communications Control Block (CCB).
You should not have to modify the any of the source code to compile it
on any of the supported compilers. Extensive use of C preprocessor
statments has been made to insure that all modules will compile under
any of the supported compilers with no additional effort.
For source code registrants, we have also provided a complete set of
"make" files to assist you in rebuilding the libraries, should it become
necessary, or should you wish to modify the supplied routines. Be
cautious...the make files, at a minimum, assume that you have both ARC
and LIB available in either your current working directory or somewhere
in the current path. Note also that you MUST have available either MASM
5.X or Turbo Assembler version 1.0 or greater.
LiteComm is an advanced product for advanced users. Due to the various
conditions under which LiteComm might be used, we have not attempted to
provide you with specific instructions on linking the LiteComm libraries
with your application programs. We assume that you are familiar with
the methods needed to link third-party libraries, such as LiteComm, with
your applications. Answering specific questions regarding linking of
LiteComm to any given application is not practical, since it requires
specific knowledge of how your system is organized, and of your
application that cannot generally be obtained by telephone.
We have include a dearchiving utility, called dearc, on the distribution
diskette for those of you who do not have access to any of the common
de-arc'ing utilities. Simply enter DEARC and follow the prompts or
specify DEARC <archive name without extension>
