How to use !MicroTnc
====================
Welcome to the world's smallest multi-tasking packet program, now with file
transmit.
(Please note. Tongue well in cheek.)
First you need to edit the file !MicroTnc.!Run as shown in the file to the
baud rates you require. To do this hold down <Shift> key and double click
on the !MicroTnc icon in the directory window THEN AND ONLY THEN release the
<Shift> key. Drag the !Run file into !Edit.
All the facilities of !Edit are now available including editing, printing of
the text etc. even to the extent of using any font available !
File transmit
-------------
DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW "devices:$" if you wish to transmit a file.
FILES TO BE TRANSMITTED MUST BE NAMED "SERIAL" !
Any file to be transmitted MUST consist of lines EACH ending in a carriage
return.
This is easy to achieve using !Edit, simply type each line ending it by
pressing the <Return> key, when you are finished select " Edit" from !Edits
menu then click on "CR<->LF" from the sub-menu or press <Ctrl>f8 (i.e. press
both a <Ctrl> key and function key 8 at the same time).
The file may then be 'saved' by dragging it to the "devices:$" window but
**************** REMEMBER TO RENAME IT "SERIAL" FIRST. ****************
In fact any file to be transmitted by this method MUST first be renamed
"SERIAL" and include carriage returns as described.
Ending the program. A tidy way to end the program is to press the <Escape>
key which also closes the "devices:$" window.
Try doing this on a P.C.
Finally thanks to Ben G0SOQ and James G3RUH for a couple of hints and tips.
