psfales@cbnewsc.att.com (Peter Fales) (10/17/90)
I have recently come across a product which I believe would be of fairly
wide interest to the readers of this group. Micro-C is a shareware C
compiler which includes complete source code for the 8086, 6809, 68HC11,
and 8080 microcomputers for only $25.00. It is designed to be easily
portable to other microcomputers, and seems well designed to do this.
My reasons for posting this note are twofold: 1) Make other people
aware of a product they may be interested in, and 2) find out if
anyone has done a code generator for the 8051. I have started on
the latter project and it appears doable, but I don't want to reinvent
the wheel if it has already been done. If you are working on an 8051
code generator or are interested in my results, please contact me.
I have attached the author's "catalog" below. I hope this isn't too
commercial for the net, but I have no connection with Dave Dunfield
other than as a satisfied user (and since I have only had the product
for two days I haven't evaluated it too heavily). I truly believe
that the information below will be of interest to a significant number
of people.

** Catalog revised 15-Aug-90 **
Here is a list of software/firmware products which I currently have
available:
Prices listed are for a single user licence. Upon receipt of a product
order or registration with the appropriate payment, the user named on the
licence agreement will be granted permission to use that product as set out
in the terms and conditions of the licence agreement.
Anyone placing any order or registration will receive a current edition
of this catalog, reflecting new products and revisions. You may also obtain
a new catalog at any time by sending me a self addressed, stamped envelope.
You may order an update (on disk) for any product which you have already
registered or purchased at a nominal update fee. If this fee is included in
the original order or registration, you will receive the current release of
the product at that time.
Registered users may also order high quality laser printed copies of the
manual(s) for a nominal fee. These may be ordered separately, or in addition
to a registration or update.
Please send all correspondence to:

DLM: Data Line Monitor. Turns your P.C. into a DATASCOPE.
This program monitors both sides of an asynchronous data communications
line using a passive "Y" cable which connects to the monitored devices
and BOTH comm ports (COM1 and COM2). This tool is invaluable for
debugging ANY asynchronous connection, such as TERMINALS, MODEMS,
SERIAL PRINTERS and PROTOCOL debugging. It allows you to actually SEE
the data and signals being passed between the devices.
- Easy to use menu driven interface.
- "Split Line" display for easy viewing of the interaction
between two devices. Display is updated in "real time".
- Over 50 screens may be "buffered" and reviewed later.
- Displays/Stores hardware signal information as well as all
data passed between the devices.
- Captured buffers may be saved to disk for later reference.
- Includes directions for constructing your own "Y" cable.
- REQUIRES 2 COMM PORTS.
