BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 11/18/90
Fixed the problems with all the Spawned stuff when SnoopPipe was not
defined, especially AfterMail, CleanUp, Packer and SpawnBBS. Now
compiled with MS C 6.00 and maximum optimization.
BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 7/18/90
Fixed the problem with Snoop/SnoopPipe. Used to have to have a string
SNOOPPIPE set with the \Pipe\name in order to avoid Traps (either at Bink
start or returning from Max). Updated B_INITVA.C and BTCONFIG.C to
fix it.
BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.40 7/14/90
Fixed the set of MaxBytes problems so they now work as advertised.
Fixed the ZMODEM Receive Debris message so the correct message shows.
Apparently still a problem with ExtrnMail.
Differences from the DOS version: 7/12/90
1. Since it doesn't have a FOSSIL, BTP relies on the BAUD and LOCKBAUD
to set up buffered MODEMs. Set the BAUD to the highest CONNECT
value your MODEM will return, usually 9600. Set the value after
LOCKBAUD to the highest rate between your serial port and your
MODEM. For HST, that's usually BAUD 9600 and LOCKBAUD 19200 or 38400.
2. Several Environment strings are used to provide information or to
override defaults values unique to the OS/2 version:
Set SnoopPipe=\pipe\pipename where pipename matches your PMSnoop.
Set TBuf=buffersize to override the default 8K xmit buffer.
Set RBuf=buffersize to override the default 8K recv buffer.
Set JANUSPriority=jprior to override the default priority 3.
Set RegularPriority=rprior to override the default priority 2.
Set MODEMPriority=mprior to override the default priority 4.
3. To specify a PMSnoop's pipe named MAXSnoop: Set SnoopPipe=\pipe\MAXSnoop
If its on a Server, use Set SnoopPipe=\\servername\MAXSnoop
4. BTP leaves most of the serial port flags alone now. If you run a buffered
MODEM, be sure it supports CTS/RTS handshaking, and then use the MODE
command to set them on: MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,TO=ON,RTS=ON,OCTS=ON
5. If you have a Western Digital 16550-PL UART, I recommend that you only
run with BUFFER=ON and insure that the serial port to MODEM is locked
above 2400 BPS. If you have a National Semiconductor 16550A or AF, then
you can run with BUFFER=AUTO (both are MODE command flags) and not worry
about the serial port to MODEM rate.
6. Add the BSRCP240 on top of the BSRC_240 archive's contents. Tailor the
LINK path to your own. Use the FSTAT.OBJ (Large Model) unless you have
the INTERNAL.H and DOSTYPES.H from the MicroSoft C Compiler's Library
source.
7. There will be a multithread version of BTP 2.40 coming out soon, watch
for it.
