CPM-86 Kermit for Rainbow - 'SET BAUD' modifications
====================================================
The modifications implement three new features:
1. Set baud
===========
The 'SET BAUD' subcommand has been implemented and works as on the CPM-80
implementation. The user is presented with a 'menu' of speeds and chooses one
by pressing the appropriate key. To change the baud rate simply type 'SET
BAUD' and choose the required speed.
2. Show baud
============
The 'SHOBD' routine has been implemented so that both 'SHOW' and 'STATUS'
list the currently selected baud rate.
3. Default baud rate set
========================
The program now sets a default baud rate (currently 2400), this being
determined at assembly time. To change the default speed modify the value
assigned to 'DEFBD' ('DEFBD' is defined in the C86XXX file) and re-assemble as
described in the main help file. The internal speed codes are given in the
source file comments.
Other Points
============
These modifications override the speed set by the VT-100 terminal emulator,
the VT-100 values being re-instated when kermit terminates. If the VT-100 set
up pages are used to modify the baud rate while kermit is running then the
baud rate shown by 'SHOW' may be incorrect as the set up pages will modify the
baud rate back from any set by kermit. If this does occur set up the baud rate
again from kermit with the 'SET BAUD' command.
All the described modifications and additions are to the C86XXX.A86 system
depend I/O procedures module of the source and are fully documented and
commented in the source code.
