[net.micro.cpm] MODEM 7?

w8sdz%brl@sri-unix.UUCP (11/23/83)

From:      Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl>

All MICRO:<MC.whatever> directories on SIMTEL20 have been changed to
MICRO:<CPM.whatever>. Frank Wancho sent out a message announcing this
but guess it got lost on its way to you.  The one you want is
MICRO:<CPM.MODEM7> and you'll find MDM714 (the VERY latest MODEM7 that I
just finished uploading this morning).  Do a DIR to get the file names.
I'll be sending out an annoucement telling what each of the files is
for, but in the meantime you can figure out which overlays you want by
their two-character distinctive names M7xx.1ASM.  You don't need
MDM714.ASM - just get MDM714.COM and the appropriate overlay.  It's easy
to configure.

Roger on MDM714.COM and its overlays.  I was working on MDM712, saw the
bulletin on MDM714, and immediately grabbed it.  Sure is easier to patch
up a wee little micro-specific overlay than the big source code of MDM714!
Works fine (except I got a bug in the LOCMSG character (the one that I think
lets you send a local command (like ^E in HERMES) while telling MDM714
to ignore it.  For some reason the SHFTYPE procedure is NOT changing that
character back to ASCII in the menu, and ^^ (per the original code) oes
weird things on my Freedom 100 screen!  Changed it to ^\, so it no longer
blows my menu away, but still don't have it working quite right.  I'll figure
it out though.

I added (I THINK it was me that added) my serial port 3 baud initialization
routine as an initialization routine in the M7MM-1 overlay (used to be
MDM712MM.ASM) for my Decision I. (Doggon shame when you're hacking so much
you can't remember what is your work and what came from outside!)

To NetLand and the author of MDM714:  Sorry, sorry, sorry.  That serial
port 3 initialization for the Morrow Decision I overlay to MDM714 was
the work of the original author ( canNOT remember his name!).  His work,
his credit, his glory.   (Sorry, looked just like a patch I made to
another modem program that I hacked out of my CBIOS, and got mixed up.)
