I posted an article recently saying
that I had a termcap and BASIC program
for the PR connection. I got a lot of
response to that then realized that I
had been a little misleading. First,
it should not be restricted to PR
owners, as I know of no reason why it
shouldn't work woth the 850 also,
since the PR-connection is supposed to
behave like the 850.
To be specific, here is a fuller des-
cription of the stuff I wrote. It
is a termcap that has parameters for
all the stuff needed for vi, and talk,
and stuff like that so the atari acts
like a real terminal (with 40 cols.).
The BASIC program is not fancy, but
good enough for a starter. It dials (
but my modem is not HAYES-compatible,
so the program could easily be simp-
lified for HAYES) and it captures and
sends files, but mostly it just acts
like a terminal.
Chances are you are only interested in
using the termcap and the few routines
in the BASIC program associated with
that so vi can behave properly on your
old friend 800.
Any interest in any of this, respond
