Simple program to set comm port mode before invoking BinkleyTerm under
OS/2 2.0 with Gary Rosema's com16550.sys
Communications parameters for COM1 are set to 19200 baud,
8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Usage is: dumbmode
Released to the public domain by John Tarbox (FidoNet 1:150/130.0)
WHY ?
When using one of Gary's excellent comm drivers under OS/2 2.0, the MODE
command is unable to work with the comm driver. On my system at least, if the
communications port parameters are not properly set before invoking BinkleyTerm
then BinkleyTerm will lock up. To get around this problem I wrote the enclosed
C program to set these parameters. Since source code is included, and the
program os extremely simple, it should be easy to modify to meet your unique
requirements. The enclosed dumbmode.exe was built with the MX C 6.0 compiler.
