Aux-Handler V1.0 (c) Steve Drew 1987
----------------
I. Desciption:
- Installs as a dos handler to control the serial port as a console.
- Support all relevent dos packets including WaitForChar and
ACTION_SCREEN_MODE.
- To your process it looks just like a CON: handler, screening
control chars doing CRLF translations and handling deletes ect...
- Can be made into a RAW console via ACTION_SCREEN_MODE, it then
acts like a RAW console which does not echo characters or handle
control chars, but just passes all keys entered back to the process.
This would allow you to implement a ANSI style screen editor like
maybe MicroEMACS 3.x to work through AUX:. Now thats a multiuser
system!
II. Installation:
1. Insert the included MOUNTLIST file into you DEVS:MOUNTLST
2. Copy the Aux-Handler to the l: directory
3. Enter Mount AUX: to load the driver.
III Using
- 'NEWCLI AUX:' will start a cli on the Serial port.
- <BS> <DEL> both delete last char typed.
- ^X or ^U delete entire line.
- ^S / ^Q stop/start screen display (if XON/XOFF selected under prefs.)
IV Notes:
- Setups':
The Aux-Handler opens the serial port with its current
settings (as set up in preferences).
However you may specify if you want ECHO, CRLF, or
RAW Mode on/off via specifiying keyword 'Set':
Newcli AUX:Set/E:[On/Off]/C:[On/Off]/R:[On/Off]
for example to set Raw off, Echo off and CRLF on.
Newcli AUX:Set/e:off/c:on/r:off
Case is insensitive. The default if any parameters
not specified is:
Echo ON, Raw Off, CRLF ON.
- Killing A CLI:
Normally you just do a ENDCLI. However if you had
some one in over a modem or fired it up by mistake
you can force an ENDCLI command to be sent to the
process by doing a 'ECHO >AUX:ENDCLI' from another
CLI.
