- Subject: Patch #1 to Pcomm v2.0
- Message-ID: <Bu64r8.IoK@news.cso.uiuc.edu>
- Sender: usenet@news.cso.uiuc.edu (Net Noise owner)

- This is patch #1 to the Pcomm v2.0 distribution package. This patch
- will correct a minor bug with the external protocol option (when running
- under SVR3.2) that prevented Pcomm from detecting the death of the child
- process.
-
- The rather large size of this patch is do to the numerous changes to the
- Doc.me file.
-
- Pcomm v2.0.0 was sent to the moderator of comp.sources.unix on 20 Jul 92.

- + Patch #1, 6 Sep 92
- +
- + This patch will correct a minor bug with the external protocol option
- + (when running under SVR3.2) that prevented Pcomm from detecting the

- + ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pcomm version 2.0
- 18 Jul 92
- ***************
- *** 51,299 ****
-
- xpcomm - a version of Pcomm using the X window toolkits.
- -
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -
- - Pcomm version 1.2
- - 4 Feb 89
- -
- - Compatibilities with v1.1:
- -
- - The support files used with the v1.1 release are compatible with
- - the v1.2 release. However, the use of the "index" field (now
- - called the "script" field) in the pcomm.dial_dir file has
- - changed dramatically (see below).
- -
- - Things that have changed:
- -
- - Berkeley flavors of Unix are now supported. There are files
- - called tty_att.c and tty_ucb.c that contain the code specific
- - to the AT&T and Berkeley worlds. See the config.h file for
- - the BSD pre-processor definition.
- -
- - Auto-login scripts are now supported. If the script field of
- - the dialing directory contains the name of a valid Unix shell
- - script, that shell script is "played" after the connection is
- - made to perform the auto-login "chat" sequences. A example of a
- - auto-login Bourne shell script (called Sample) is included in
- - the distribution.
- -
- - Three new external programs. In order to assist in the creation
- - of the auto-login shell scripts, three external programs are
- - included in the distribution.
- -
- - waitfor - wait for a string, return a 1 if timed out
- - matches - test if string2 is contained in string1
- - modem_break - send a modem break
- -
- - There is a new support file called "pcomm.extrnl" that allows
- - the user to embed the names of external file transfer programs
- - into the list of available protocols. (The default file
- - "Pcomm.extrnl", supplied with the distribution package, contains
- - definitions for zmodem).
- -
- - The pcomm_input program has been changed to use multiple
- - character buffered writes to the screen. Both the input and
- - output buffer sizes are tunable parameters in config.h
- -
- - Newer versions of Xenix have changed the rules for creating UUCP
- - lock files. See the config.h file for the description of
- - XENIX_LOCKS.
- -
- - The -f option now looks at the name field of the dialing
- - directory (rather than the index field). A match is found when
- - the argument to the -f is contained in a name field (an exact
- - match is not required). The match does not consider upper and
- - lower case differences as significant.
- -
- - Known limitations:
- -
- - The detection of VCS (video command sequences) is still limited
- - to a very small subset of possible commands.
- -
- - For the VCS emulation to work, the terminfo entries on the host
- - machine must match the entries on the remote. (Don't assume
- - your vt100 terminfo data is identical to someone else's).
- -
- - The disp_tty() routine in s_tty.c currently does not support a
- - NUM_TTY definition of greater than 10.
- -
- - Future directions:
- -
- - That's about it folks...
- -
- - If Pcomm grows any more, I'll break the setup routines out as a
- - separate program.
- -
- - Many thanks to the following people (and many others) for bug reports
- - and suggested improvements to the code.

- -
- - Pcomm version 1.1
- - 21 Aug 88
- -
- - Incompatibilities with v1.0:
- -
- - I've added a few more fields to the pcomm.param and pcomm.modem
- - files. This means that those files created under previous
- - releases will not be compatible with the v1.1 release. It might
- - be a good idea to abandon the older files and start over with
- - the sample files in this release.
- -
- - Things that have changed:
- -
- - An awful lot of sloppy programming on my part has now been
- - cleaned up. This means that porting Pcomm to different versions
- - of Unix will be considerably less painful than before.
- -
- - All of the tunable parameters are now in "config.h".
- -
- - Pcomm now uses buffered I/O routines. This yields higher
- - performance I/O at large baud rates.
- -
- - File transfers now use high performance CRC calculations.
- -
- - If a UUCP lockfile does exist, Pcomm now attempts to determine
- - if the process is still active.
- -
- - An external file transfer program can be invoked from the file
- - transfer menu.
- -
- - The keyboard macro feature is now supported (although it is
- - rather crude).
- -
- - The virtual screen routine now understands a limited subset of
- - escape sequences.
- -
- - The virtual screen can now be held in shared memory or in a file.
- -
- - The input routine is now contained in a separate program called
- - pcomm_input.
- -
- - You can now include a "modem break" in a dial or initialization
- - string.
- -
- - A separate "initialization speed" feature was added to support
- - 9600 baud modems such as the Telebit Trailblazer. See Appendix
- - C of the Doc file for more info on the use of this feature.
- -
- - I've added a transparent pass through mode to be used in a
- - communications daisy chain.
- -
- - Known limitations:
- -
- - Whenever Pcomm makes the transition from the terminal mode to
- - the command mode, the true screen contents are lost. Pcomm
- - tries to keep track of what the true screen looks like in an
- - internal "virtual screen". This means that the escape sequences
- - known to the hardware have to be emulated in the virtual screen.
- - Unfortunately, the number of escape sequences that are emulated
- - is quite small, so the representation of the true screen is
- - sometimes wrong.
- -
- - For the VCS (video command sequence) emulation to work, the
- - terminfo entries on the host machine must match the entries on
- - the remote.
- -
- - The disp_tty() routine in s_tty.c currently does not support a
- - NUM_TTY definition of greater than 10.
- -
- - Future directions:
- -
- - Continue work on the virtual screen routines.
- -
- - Add dial back support.
- -
- - Use shared memory to overcome the current limitation of outgoing
- - characters in the half duplex mode not appearing in the virtual
- - screen, log files, and print logs.
- -
- - Many thanks to the following people for bug reports and ideas for
- - improving the code:

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -
- - Pcomm version 1.0
- - 12 Mar 88
- -
- - Incompatibilities with the beta release:
- -
- - I've added a bunch of new parameters to the pcomm.param and
- - pcomm.modem files, so the files used with the beta release won't
- - work with the v1.0 release.
- -
- - Things that have changed:
- -
- - Pcomm will attempt to determine if the modem has synchronized at
- - a baud rate different than what is expected, and make changes to
- - the line settings as appropriate.
- -
- - The quit and interrupt signals are now ignored.
- -
- - All of the file transfer protocols are now functional.
- -
- - The directory search order used to find the support files has
- - been changed slightly.
- -
- - Known limitations:
- -
- - The keyboard macro feature is not implemented at this time.
- -
- - The true screen contents are lost when the "hot key" is pressed.
- - Pcomm attempts to compensate (rather poorly) by repainting a
- - virtual screen of what it thinks the true screen should look
- - like. Escape sequences in the virtual screen image will be
- - ignored when the background is repainted. For example, if
- - you're on a vt100 and you receive a ^[[2J to clear the screen,
- - the screen *will* be cleared... but when the screen is
- - repainted, it will contain the characters ^[, [, 2, J (instead
- - of performing the function).
- -
- - The disp_tty() routine in s_tty.c currently does not support a
- - NUM_TTY definition of greater than 10.
- -
- - For some strange reason, the first keystroke is "lost" after a
- - file transfer is complete or after starting data logging.
- -
- - Future directions:
- -
- - The virtual screen routines need a lot of work. The most
- - commonly used escape sequences (known to terminfo) will be
- - processed.
- -
- - I plan to have an option at compile time to have the virtual
- - screen buffer held on disk [] or in shared memory [].
- -
- - The input routine is designed so it could be a standalone
- - program that gets called from Pcomm. []
