Version 1.3, May 5th, 1986
THE World's Smallest IBM PC Comm Program
(Jaxtalk, eat your heart out!)
Tiny Talk is a TINY communications program, designed with basic modem
communications and testing in mind. At 392 bytes in size....it remains
a very usable program.
-Versions---Size-------Notes-------------------------------------------------
1.0 198 bytes Experimental vers. w/ unbuffered input. Poor
performance at high speeds.
1.1 227 bytes The original Tiny Talk with buffered input. Baud rate
changes required program modification using DEBUG.
1.2 392 bytes Allowed for baud rate setting by a passed parameter.
Better performance.
1.3 402 bytes Latest version. Now supports ANSI graphics!
--------------
Tiny Talk Operation
There are two different copies of Tiny Talk included:
TTALK1.COM - supports use of COM1: port
TTALK2.COM - supports use of COM2: port
Use the version which corresponds to your communications setup.
To load Tiny Talk, type as follows:
(example assumes use of COM1: port)
TTALK1.COM x
The parameter x must be one of the following baud rate codes:
0 - for 300 baud
1 - for 1200 baud
2 - for 2400 baud
Once Tiny Talk is loaded, you may quit to DOS, at any time, by pressing
the [Esc] key.
Tiny Talk is a very basic communication program, and requires the use
of YOUR modem commands to operate. For example, if you use a modem
supporting Hayes compatible AT commands, you may enter the following:
ATZ <- initialize your modem
ATDT 1-402-449-1015 <- dial a BBS.
ATE1 <- enable 'echo' of modem commands entered.
ATM0 <- disable the modem speaker.
You should consult your modem manual for more command descriptions.
--------------
ANSI Graphics
With Tiny Talk release 1.3 came ANSI graphics support. In order for
this feature to work correctly, you must install the ANSI.SYS driver
into your CONFIG.SYS file. If you already have a CONFIG.SYS file on
your boot disk, then edit it with your wordprocessor or EDLIN and
add the statement:
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file then you can create one by
typing from the DOS prompt (on your DOS boot disk):
COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <return>
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS <return>
<F6> (function key F6) <return>
Be sure to re-boot your system if you just installed ANSI.SYS.
