Hi folks... I've read a lot about the improved RS-232 routine that appeared in The Transactor in 1989. I have (at least I used to have) some Transactors but I do not have that particular article. Would it be possible for someone to post the source code if it isn't too long? If it is too long or no one is willing to post the source code, would it be possible for me to send someone a SASE plus some change to cover the photocopying costs? If one of you who has the article could send your postal address to MELBREC @ HUBCAP.CLEMSON.EDU I will send the SASE off the next day. Tnx in advance!

I am also interested in RS232 routines and how they work. I have tried and half-way succeeded operating a 1670 via cassette port.. (output only so far). Documented RS232 routines would be very helpful I think.

I would also be interested in the source code. Of course, if that is a problem, I would also be more than happy to send a SASE with costs for photocopying... I have just about all of the Transactors, except of course, for that one... and the RS-232 routine article would be nice to have.. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Mike Digdon: digdon@ug.cs.dal.ca + My 64 can still get the + + mike@ac.dal.ca + job at hand completed!! + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

I have a copy of the Transactor RS-232 routines. (They perform perfectly, by the way.) I can put them up if there are no copyright problems. I'm not sure how that works with stuff in magazines.

If I remember the exact wording, I believe that any software published in the T is free to copy and not to sell.. they are pretty linient about stuff like that... all they care about is someone selling the copies of T stuff.. so I think that you will be able to put them up.. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Mike Digdon: digdon@ug.cs.dal.ca + My 64 can still get the + + mike@ac.dal.ca + job at hand completed!! + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Since the Transactor is now a quite dead magazine, it is rather unclear what the copyright status or distributability of its articles are. Since the info is genuinely useful, I would hope that the people who put together Transactor, and the author as well, would look kindly on public distribution of the source code and accompanying article. I don't suppose any editors from the T, or George Hug, the article's author, are on the net somewhere? -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/! INET: an207@cleveland.freenet.edu / ..

While the Transactor does hold the copyright they consider the programs in their magazines public domain. A statement to that affect should be on the first page somewhere. The Transactor is (or was) the only computer magazine that has that policy that I know of. And I appreciate you helping me and the others who would like to see the source to the rs-232 routine.....

These serial routines articles have been floating around a lot lately. CBM appears to be the next CP/M in terms of user hacking. Since support has just about gone away, the users are getting a lot more active. Hooray, I say!!! BTW, George does not mind the use of hid routines... Bell Term uses them along with others. I think he gets visual credit, not sure if any monetary... ------------------------------------------------------------------- John Luce | Life is the leading cause of death Alcatel Network Systems | ----------------------------------------- Raleigh, NC | Standard Disclaimer Applies 919-850-6787 | Mail?
