-
- 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.
