- Type: util/libs
- Version: 3.030 (UPDATE ONLY)

- $VER: dignet.library 3.03 (29.03.97)

-
- UPDATE ARCHIVE (get the main archive util/libs/DigNet.lha for docs++).
-
- - InitModem() problem (- Thanks to Ernest J. Gainey III)
- Function was documented to accept NULL pointer for init string
- which should cause it to use default init string (ATZ\r).
- Routine skipped out due to resource tracking if initstring was
- nullpointer. Nothing seem to make a difference no matter how I
- changed the library code.
-
- Solution: Init-string is now required for InitModem() !
-
- Also discovered a minor bug in DignetDEBUG. It had moved command
- names pointers so it reported wrong names from number 29. Fixed!
-
- Tested with nullmodem.device and it works fine as long as you
- don't use the InitDefault() function (something there that
- nullmodem.device doesn't like.. dunno what)
-
- Also thanks to Ernest J. Gainey III for Modula 2 includes!
-
- This is only an update file. Get the whole archive util/libs/DigNet.lha
- version 3 from Aminet to read documentations and to get FD files etc.

- INTRODUCTION
-
- Always wanted to make games or programs that could support serial network ?
- This will maybe be the solution for you. This library will do all the dirty
- work for you. All you need to do is to call read and write functions to
- communicate. No more hustling with setting up structures, ports and pools
- to use the device. No more DoIO.
-
- From version 3 you can even dialup via modem or receive from modem by
- calling a function. The function do the dial/wait studd and return error or
- baud speeds. You can even make your own BBS program.
-
- Tested with duart.device 0 and 1 with nullmodem-cable. Tested agains modem.
- Should work fine with serial.device and compatible devices. Do not use with
- other devices such as trackdisk.device etc.
-
- The library functions are fully re-entrant.
