*** SHAREWARE DOCUMENTATION ***
The Personal Communications Library for the C Language ( PCL4C )
is an asynchronous communications library designed for experienced
software developers programming in C. Five compilers are
supported: Microsoft Optimizing C, Microsoft Quick C, Borland C,
Turbo C, and MIX Power C. An IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible or IBM
PS/2 is required. The Personal Communications Library takes less
than 8K bytes and features:
o SMALL, COMPACT, MEDIUM & LARGE memory models.
o 37 communication and support functions.
o Interrupt driven receiver & (optionally) transmitter.
o Supports high performance 16550 UART.
o Supports the PC/4 and PC/8 DigiBoard.
o Supports the BB1004, BB1008, and BB2016 BOCA boards.
o Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.
o 300 baud to 115,200 baud.
o COM1 through COM16 defined.
o Adjustable receive queues from 8 bytes to 32 KB.
o Control-BREAK error exit.
o 18 communication error conditions trapped.
o 4 ports can run concurrently (more with multiport boards).
o Complete modem control & status.
o Written in assembly language for small size & high speed.
Two example programs ( source code ) are provided along with the
small and large model library makefiles.
(1) SIMPLE is an extremely simple terminal emulator program. It
is provided as the smallest and easiest to understand example of
communications programming using PCL4C.
(2) TERM is a more capable terminal emulator than SIMPLE. It
functions as a dumb terminal emulator but can exchange files using
XMODEM (Standard XMODEM, XMODEM-CRC, and XMODEM-1K ) and YMODEM
(Standard and YMODEM-G) communication protocols. TERM will also
send an initialization string to your Hayes compatible modem. TERM
is in the PPL4C10.ZIP file.
The shareware distribution includes the small and large memory
model libraries PCL4C_S.LIB and PCL4C_L.LIB and the small model
MIX library PCL_S.MIX. All example source code is included.
For more information, refer to the Personal Communications Library
Users Manual ( PCL4C.USR ) and Personal Communications Library
Reference Manual ( PCL4C.REF ).
