munch munch Someone mentioned this past weekend that there is a version of AmigaTerm that includes Kermit available on CompuServe. Since I'm not on CompuServe, I was woundering if anyone would feel inclined to post to USENET a uuencoded version of the binary and the associated documentation. I suspect that this would help several of us. While on the subject of terminal programs... I tried to compile the PDTerm (VT100 emualtor) that was posted to USENET last week and had very little success. I added the two routines DeleteEXTio/CreateEXTio and I came up with a version I can execute but it doesn't work properly (it creates the window but doesn't transmit/recieve data - just a minor bug in a terminal program right?). Well, I'm woundering if everyone else got PDTerm.c to compile and work properly? If so, I would like to join the club. Now, one last topic. I've woundered where the majority of the Amiga network traffic is (USENET / BIX / CompuServe / ETCnet). If I join CompuServe or BIX will I find more source floating around?

I added the two routines DeleteEXTio/CreateEXTio and I came up with I had no problem that I can recall, using a copy of Lattice C 3.03 off of the C-A developer's disk. Are you using 3.03 directly from Lattice, or even an earlier version. It seems like there are at least 4 different versions of 3.03 floating around, depending upon whether you got yours directly from C-A or from Lattice, and when. >Now, one last topic.

I find BIX to be interesting for the conversation threads and personalities that show up there. As for sources, forget it. Usenet is far better. Besides, if you read the fine print on the BIX agreement, every byte uploaded to BIX becomes their property, not to be used without their permission. If you followed it to the letter, I would presume that this would preclude downloading and running any code posted there. -Fred

Well, I'm woundering if everyone else got PDTerm.c to compile and > work properly? If so, I would like to join the club. I was able to compile PDTerm without any difficulty. I don't recall having to add the EXTio routines either. One thing that might be of interest to those using the PD terminal programs (and MaxiComm): I was able to modify PDTerm in under an hour (it is well written, if undocumented) so that it runs at 1200 baud easily and very likely many times faster. The key to the speed of these programs is the overhead in message handling. PDTerm requires two messages to be sent for a single character to be sent from the serial port to the screen. The same is true going the other way. At 1200 baud that is over 400 messages per second. That would require lots of task switching and the overhead involved. I modified PDTerm so that it will try to send characters in chunks of up to 10. This can greatly reduce the overhead, and increase the speed. At the moment I am attempting to add a sophisticated file capture routine to PDTerm and when I am done I will send it to the net.

PDTerm never made it to San Diego. I have looked on several systems just to be sure. Please repost the source. I wonder how much other stuff is falling into the bit bucket.... -- Phil Cohen (phil@s3sun.CSS.GOV, sdcsvax!phil)
