- Short: Extended locking for serial devices. V2.1
- Author: caw@miroc.chi.il.us (Christopher A. Wichura)
- Version: 2.1
- Source: Fish collection
-
- Provides an extended locking mechanism for serial devices. This allows
- programs to "ask" another program that is currently using a device to
- relinquish it. For example, a term program could ask a fax daemon to
- release the serial device to allow the user to call out.
-
- OwnDevUnit.library has become, for better or for worse, something of a
- defacto standard for Amiga communications software. Most major terminal
- programs now support it, along with several daemons such as Getty, Welmat,
- and AmigaFax.
-
- This is an update to version 2.0. It addresses a problem 2.0 had with
- naming schemes. Version 2.1 is considered the minimum acceptable
- version of the library for several packages that support it.
