- Short: Serial Preferences v40.3
- Author: Msi Software <emsai@online.no>
- Uploader: Roger Hågensen <emsai@online.no>
- Version: 40.3
- Type: util/sys
- Distribution: Freely Distributable ShareWare
-
- SerPrefs is a 100% replacement for the old Serial prefs util,
- It has a modern GUI with hotkeys, and extend far beyond
- the original's limitations.
-
- SerPrefs extends several settings/options of the original,
- to do this effectivly a new serial.prefs format have been created.
- Currently SerPrefs only support the use of a serial device name,
- and Sharedmode. Other extensions will be added later.
-
- The new serial.prefs can use prefs by old programs
- like the ORIGINAL "Sys:Prefs/Serial" found on the Workbench disks,
- and to convert from old to new simply load the old prefs into SerPrefs,
- then save it. And that's all you need to do! :-)
- Old serial.prefs software will still be able to read the new prefs,
- but unable to use the extra information stored.
-
- SerPrefs even show the version of your serial.device,
- and have all of the standard prefsmenu items the WB prefs utils have.
- Everything is in a single GUI with shortcuts, and is very easy to use.
- And you can choose the serial device to use, along with unit number etc.
-
- All normal (plus some extra) baud rates are supported,
- along with a buffer range that is more than enough.
- It also have separate output/input settings,
- for future support or special software.
-
- INSTALLATION
- Use the included Installer script, everything is automatic
- you only need to chose where to put the documentation.
- Even running SerPrefs with the SAVE option is done for you,
- so you don't have to start SerPrefs and resave the prefs :-)
-
- FEATURES!
- o All normal baud rates (75-921600 Baud)
- o Input and Output Buffer (range 0-64 MB)
- o Input and Output Xon/Xoff, RTS/CTS
- o Sharedmode, selectable device and unit

-
- What's changed?
-
- v40.2 - (31.12.1997) New Year Release ;-)
- Now you can choose devices stored in ROM (like duart.device etc)
- on serial cards, thanks to Kimme Utsi <kimme@arcticnet.no>
- for reporting this oversight :-) (for registered users only)
- Improved the version checking a bit, made SerPrefs handle both
- internal/external device names entered into the text gadget.
- Added dynamic version check buffer depending on filesize.
- Fiddled around trying to make that thing a tad smarter :-)
- Internal checked first if no path : or / in name,
- if a path then internal not checked (only disk),
- this allow overriding ROM devices with disk updates :-)
- Changed the GUI a little, aligned things to retain layout
- a lot better on different resolutions/fonts etc.
- Improved the Install script, it should now be fully Style Guide
- compliant except for deinstallation (next version perhaps?).
- Added a bunch of translations (see translation part of guide).
- Added a link in the guide to the license and shareware files!
-
- v40.3 - (5.1.1998) Just-love-when-things-like-this-happen-release
- Forgot to recompile SerPrefs with the new versionchecker :-(
