I hope to use this application as part of a Microcomputer Experimenter's kit, like the classic 20-in-1 Electronics kits from Tandy / Radio Shack, but aimed at combining the Mac and some "Smart" hardware, so you can play with a Micro Computer without hacking into you Mac.
Jive includes several menu items that will translate incoming charactors into binary, hex and decimal and a means of representing incoming data as an 8 bit graph.
It also stores data as text, or in binary if a 'Chart' is selected, as required.
Baud rates are the standard rates described in 'Inside Mac' and you may take your chance with others because it uses a simple Pascal Procedure to calculate the Values to be used internally.
You can use the two sample files to see it's operation, ie read in a text file or read in a binary file and see every sample, every tenth sample or every hundredth sample.
This is a feature that I hope to use with Gumboot, The Real World Interface for Macs, to gather data timing data from Relay Sets and then be able to check relay timing.
Jive is Not complete yet but it can serve as a Trouble shooting tool for serial devices, like printers, dataloggers etc.
If you find it useful send money ($30 for 3 disks) for the rest of my Shareware or write for details about Gumboot, a real world interface for Macs.
