INTRODUCTION
Always wanted to make games or programs that could support serial network ?
This will may be the solution for you. This library will do all the dirty
work for you such as putting up IO structure, calling device commands,
setting parameters and more. The basic functions is just as easy to use
such as the dos functions open(), read(), write() and close(). No more
DoIO() !
The library contains function to handle modem dialup and receive. This is
ideal if you plan to make your own BBS package. You also get function to
set parameters for you such as parity, handshaking etc. with just a simple
call to the library.
The library even contains its own AREXX port which allows access to almost
every functions of the library. The host works like a host in its right
meaning, no need to open the library from your arexx script. The arexx
commands are instantly available as long as the library is resident in
memory. What about letting FinalWriter at work update your documents at
home via the modem directly ?
Tested with duart.device 0 and 1 with nullmodem-cable. Tested agains modem.
Should work fine with serial.device and compatible devices. Do not use with
other devices such as trackdisk.device etc. Some of the functions are still
in beta stage.
The library functions are fully re-entrant and 100% system friendly.
Written in assembler for optimal speed. Includes for Asm, SAS/C and Modula
2 in archive.
You will also find example sources, full charset converter tables and
developer information.
IMPORTANT:
----------
Read the guide file for important notes!
Email me for bugs or comments. I am happy to receive new ideas for
functions and features!
This will be the last release on my part.
TODO:
- Nothing
BUGS:
- Doesn't it work with MC68000/MC68010 ?
- Does 1.3 version really work with kickstart 1.3 ?
