Our system bulletin board is subscribed to Info-Apple. I had to unsubscribe
because of this. Anyway-
My Apple IIe boots with the Apple //e logo which I read means it is enhanced.
BUT I can't run software that requires an enhanced IIe. So whats going
on here?
Is the company that sells SOFTERM still around? Does anyone have a phone
number? I bought one of their programs at a discount clearance and a lot
of the prompts and error messages are garbage characters. (Softerm I is
the package).
last question: Are there other people having problem with exec'ing down-
loads of Kermit 3.84? Between Softerm and our VAX something is giving
me lousy downloads that only print syntax error messages on my Apple.
I am using 8 bit/ no parity, and both straight text and Xmodem downloads
are crapping out on me.
send replies, if any, to our bulletin board: LINFOAPP@VCUVAX.BITNET
LINFOAPP@RUBY.VCU.EDU
or myself: ATKINSON @ VCUVAX.BITNET, ATKINSON@RUBY.VCU.EDU
Thanks,

What you have below sounds like perhaps you haven't ALL the enhanced ROM chips installed. >Is the company that sells SOFTERM still around? Does anyone have a phone >number?

I haven't the current phone number, but I believe Joe Craparotta <craparotta%liovax.dec@decwrl.dec.com> has it. They ARE still in business, but they don't seem much interested in supporting their Apple 2 product anymore. The "garbage characters" may be "mousetext" (if you are using an older Apple //e 80 column card driver). If that's the problem and you can't get a driver from Softronics, let me know and I'll hexify the file (pretty small) and mail it to you. >last question: Are there other people having problem with exec'ing down- >loads of Kermit 3.84? Between Softerm and our VAX something is giving >me lousy downloads that only print syntax error messages on my Apple. Sounds like you're getting linefeeds after carriage return (SOFTERM has an option to delete LF after CR - make sure it's set to Y, and if you're downloading to DOS 3.3 make sure the high bit is set - Y, also be sure that "pad blank lines" is N). >I am using 8 bit/ no parity, and both straight text and Xmodem downloads >are crapping out on me. The default probably is to add LF after CR ('cause that's what IBM-PC's want :-( >send replies, if any, to our bulletin board: LINFOAPP@VCUVAX.BITNET > LINFOAPP@RUBY.VCU.EDU If that address is the distributor of info-apple, then sending a copy to it and to info-apple will cause duplication.
