I am wondering about what it takes to write a remote communcation package for Geos. I have no experience with writing for Geos and first would like to know about what kind of assembler is necessary for the job. Second, I envision a program which will make use of a smart modem by providing menus to make settings. Also, I would like to have the same screen swapping available in Geowrite, rather than a wrap around mode as I now have or the nanopoint 80 character emulation. Lastly, it would be great to have a redirection to my printer rather than my disk. Now, I realize this is only a pipedream, and that kermit and other communications programs exist, but let me dream. If you have any ideas, send me e-mail and I will try to summarize them into an article. William J. Murphy Physics Department Purdue University murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu
