- ReadMe for UniTerm V2.0e 011 <-|
- ---------------------------- |
- 26.2.89 |This number is displayed on the
- 'About UniTerm...' dialog box and
- indicates the "Edit Number"
-
- Changes 2.0d to 2.0e
- --------------------
-
- General: - Setup file format changed!
-
- - Further performance improvement: sampling RS232, keyboard,
- DCD and break status now takes 0.07mS (on new versions of TOS,
- 0.15mS on the original ROM TOS) instead of 0.14mS.
- (Technical note: UniTerm uses trap 10 internally now, so other
- programs should leave this alone.)
-
- - Mouse should work again in programs that are started from the
- 'Run program' item (this stoped working in 2.0d 10 or so).
-
- - `Feature' (I'm just documenting a bug that has been around a
- long time): the `run' macro command only automatically
- indentifies TTP and TOS programs, if the extension is in
- capital letters.......
-
- - Whitespace is now allowed after macro command names.
-
- - Internal command numbers for Ctrl F1 - F10 are 68 to 77.
-
- - All RS232 parameters can now be set:
- add a '/' plus a 5 digit string in the following format to the
- name filed in the dialer setup menu:
-
- BPDSF
- |||||
- ||||Flowcontrol
- |||| 0 None
- |||| 1 XOn/XOff
- |||| 2 RTS/CTS
- |||Stopbits
- ||| 0 1
- ||| 1 2
- ||Databits
- || 0 8
- || 1 7
- |Parity
- | 0 None
- | 1 Odd
- | 2 Even
- Baud
- 0 19200
- 1 9600
- 2 4800
- (3 3600)
- 4 2400
- (5 2000)
- (6 1800)
- 7 1200
- (8 600)
- 9 300
-
- Trailing fields can be omitted, non digit characters do not
- change the value of the corresponding parameter.
-
- A macro command is now available that will take a string in
- above format and set the RS232 port:
-
- RS232CONF(string)
-
- Examples:
-
- Dialer:
- att/1001 set the serial port to
- 9600 Baud, no parity, 8 data and
- 1 stop bit, leave the flow control
- setting alone.
-
- te/-2111 leave speed setting as it is, set
- even parity, 7 data, 2 stop bits
- and XOn/XOff flowcontrol.
-
- Macro:
- rs232conf('00000')
- 19200 Baud, no parity, 8 data and
- 1 stop bit and no flowcontrol
- (the only setting you would need in
- a perfect world :-)).
-
- rs232conf('----0')
- just turn flow control off.
-
- >>Sorry for the rather horrible user interface!<<
-
- Warning: on pre Mega-TOS operating system releases, setting
- the serial port parameters caused a ASCII DEL to be
- sent.

- Incremental change list:
- ========================
-
- V2.0e 003
- ---------
-
- If the file size received in a YModem batch file transfer is obviously
- wrong an error is displayed (the VMS (tm of Digital Equiment Corp.)
- implementation of YModem sometimes generates bad size information).
-
- V2.0e 004
- ---------
-
- Cursor got messed up if the Show Space menu was used.
-
- V2.0e 005
- ---------
-
- Fixed bug in dialer, that caused infinite repetions. 'Retries'
- now really means retries and not total try count.
-
- V2.0e 007
- ---------
-
- Improved a couple of small things in the 'Scroll History Buffer' commands,
- in particular the mouse cursor is handled a bit better.
-
- V2.0e 008
- ---------
-
- The GEMDOS devices PRN:, CON: and AUX: can now be used as targets for
- Kermit etc., CON: and AUX: naturally don't really make any sense (beware
- that GEMDOS will only write upto a maximum of 32kB at once to one of the
- character devices), PRN: might be useful.
-
- YModem now uses the same logic for determining the target directory/
- filename as Kermit does (just entering a path sets the current directory,
- a filename is used for the FIRST file received).
-
- V2.0e 009
- ---------
-
- Various small problems fixed:
-
- - the combination of a bug in MS-Kermit 2.31 and one in UniTerm
- Kermit sometimes lead to disagreement about using long packets.
-
- - ESC ` in Tek mode now resets the line-drawing mode correctly
-
- - ESC ENQ know works properly in Tek mode.
-
- V2.0e 010
- ---------
-
- ESQ ENQ still had a bug (reported the wrong postition).
-
- V2.0e 011
- ---------
-
- The mouse-based paste and cut feature didn't properly append EOL after
- each line, if ouy selected send and pressed the right button.
-
- Exiting UniTerm with a file-capture in progress now writes anything
- still left in the transfer buffer to disk (this was in fact a bug, it
- should have always worked).
