[comp.sys.atari.st] miniinfo gripe

saj@chinet.chi.il.us (Stephen Jacobs) (10/04/89)

In common with many other US citizens, my knowledge of the Norwegian language
is zero.  I got rather excited when I saw miniinfo posted in the binaries
group, because miniterm is a promising looking program, but configuring it
is not something I'm all that anxious to do without documentation.  After
using uudecode and lharc, miniinfo becomes a file with a .dtp extension
(I'm guessing Calamus input, but strictly from ignorance).  A string search
shows what appear to be declarations of several D.E.G.A.S. images and a
very small amount of text.  I really don't want to say anything bad about
leoe, who has provided some attractive software for no money, and whose 
command of my native language is much better than my command of his.  But this
borders on torture.  Could we get a more generally readable set of instructions
for configuration and the use of any non-obvious commands?

OK, the miniinfo file is a Timeworks DTP info sheet - no instruction !!
Here is how to change the settings in MiniTerm 9.31:

Load the file MINITERM.INF into a text-editor or word-prossesor
To edit something just type over the old data....
First there is some configuration data, files, zmodem progs etc...
Then there is the standard rs-port setting
Then the 20 f.key dial-dirs (10 normal, 10 with shift)
Then the 20 macros which work when DCD is active

Every data field starts on a TAB setting
The only thing you must remember is that !!!!

Just ask if there are more problems....  Sorry the configuration can't be
done from within MiniTerm, but i wanted the program as short as possible
A friend of mine has made a SETUP931.PRG to configure MiniTerm...
I'll get an english version and post it as soon as possible....
