  11. Hello again,
  12.  
  13.     One more quick question with tip.  "tip com1" didn't work for me.
  14. "tip /dev/com1" didn't work for me too.  Terry's FAQ suggests recompiling
  15. "tip".  But if the source is in src01*, can I download and install them as
  16. I did with the bin01*?(extract disappeared.)  If I download pcomm instead,
  17. and I couldn't get tip to work, can BSD read from a DOS floppy with mread.
  18. mread doesn't seems to work when the filename is not of the form *01.* like
  19. bin01.*.
  20.  
  21. Regards,
  22. Yeo...
