Subject: 68ASMSIM.ZIP won't PKUNZIP!
I have just downloaded from SIMTEL20 the 68000 Cross- assembler and
Simulator (PD1:<MS-DOS.CROSSASM>68ASMSIM.ZIP). Unfortunately, after
repeated attempts, the ZIP file will not uncompress. A recent posting
suggested using the PKUNZIP -d option. I have tried that, but to no
avail. I get an error message:
WARNING!: I don't know how to handle: (filename).
Any suggestions?

The printer port has the capability to output ONLY for the 8 data
lines. However, there are four "status" lines that can be used for
data acquisition.
The BIOS service INT 17h Function 2 returns in register AH: (Note --
input DX=0 for LPT1)
Bit 7 - Printer Not Busy. (pin 11 on DB25 connector)
Bit 6 - Printer Acknowledge. (pin 10)
Bit 5 - Out of Paper. (pin 12)
Bit 3 - I/O Error (pin 15)
However, the BIOS is too slow for many applications. For a speedier
routine,you must read the status register of the printer port directly.
Printer LPT1's status register is usually at address 0379h. Check your
manual for details.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Translation vs Native modes in IDE drives Query
Every Seagate HD drive comes with the "Installation Guide". I have seen
many Seagate IDE drives and for some of them there are not any warnings
against reformating (ST157A,ST138A,ST157A,...), but for the others
there is a warning that reformating will "overwrite" some sectors where
important informations about "magnetic surface" are stored, so it is
better not to do this. (For the first type of drives you can even find
an instruction in "Installation Guide" - how to reformat them using
DISK MANAGER.)
Many (or even all) of Seagate IDE drives have two modes of "work".
Those modes define how the drive is recognized by the host computer.
There are two modes - one called "Native" and one called "Translation".
In native mode the host computer sees the "physical" geometry of the
drive, and in translation mode it sees "translated" geometry of the
drive. Here is an example : ST157A
translation native
sectors/track 17 26
read/write heads 7 6
cylinders 733 560
guaranteed sectors 87,227 87,360
Which one mode is better and why ? (I have met a guy who said that he
had got better transmission speed in translated mode than in the
native, but I do not understand this !)
Bye,bye,

Subject: Repair of DOS backup files
Is there a utility that will repair damaged backup files? The files
are ascii and were backedup under DOS 3.2 . The possible cause of the
damage is that the machine the files were backedup from had floppy
drives that were out of alignment.
Thank you !

Subject: UUDECODE question
I've run into a problem with a uuencoded file from the listserver@nodak.
As a preface, let me say I've been doing this for a couple months, so I
know how to get through the process OK, it's just a problem that's cropped
up with the last couple big files I got.
On INFOP145.ZIP I get the pieces OK, and strip out the 'spurious garbage'
and then proceed to uudecode. The error message I get says 'end not
found'. The DDs warn that files passing through Unix systems may
incorrectly translate the CR/LF situation, but that it will really be OK.
Well, it's *not*. I go ahead and run pkunzip -t, and it tells me that
there is an error, and to use pkzipfix. I do that, and go ahead and
extract the exe, and when I try to run that; *suprise*, DOS says 'error in
exe file'.
I have performed this sequence of file request,edit,decode,discard twice;
so I feel certain that I've gotten past whatever might have been random
problems. Some other files that I got at the same time and had to knit
together were OK, so that's not the problem. I'm sure it's something
minor, but the docs don't give a clue. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanx!! -jb

foldED is a fast editor for programmers and/or 'TeX-nicians'. In
addition to the features of any better ASCII editor it supports the
unique feature of 'folding': Outlining for program source code! It
adapts to the programming language used and hides the information it
embedds into the source code in a way neither compilers/interpreters
nor other tools will complain about. This is a very slightly restricted
shareware version of a commercially available product. A German version
is available, too.

I have uploaded to SIMTEL20:
pd1:<msdos.hamradio>
HC910308.ZIP HamComm: Transmit/receive RTTY with PC/XT/AT
HamComm is a program for ham radio communications. It supports
reception and transmission of amateur radio teletype signals. The
interesting thing about it is, that it doesn't require an expensive
modem. The audio output of the transceiver is connected to the serial
port of any PC/XT/AT compatible computer thru a very simple and
low-cost circuit. Only one IC is needed (Op-Amp LM741 or similar) and
a few diodes, capacitors and resistors. For transmission the speaker
output is connected to the microphone input of the transceiver thru a
passive r/c filter. Audio frequency decoding and serial/parallel
conversion is all done by the program.
HamComm automatically detects the type of video adapter in use. MDA,
CGA, EGA, VGA and Hercules are supported. All graphics routines are
written in assembler for speed. No attempt has been made to avoid
screen flicker (snow) on cheap CGAs.
HamComm runs on XT maschines but the graphics displays of the input
signal are more fun to watch on an AT-class maschine. Nearly all of
the functions can also be controlled by using a mouse. A harddisk is
not required. All texts are written in english (sort of :-) and the
online help function includes the schematics for the interface circuit.
There are also predefined standard phrases, a QTH distance/direction
calculator and a callsign decoder. Currently about 310KB of free RAM
is required.
HamComm will probably NOT run under any kind of multitasking software
like Desqview or Windows since it needs direct control of the interrupt
controller, timer chip and serial I/O hardware.
HamComm 1.3 is FREEWARE. No registration, no fee. Share and enjoy!
Extensive changes made to transition from version 1.2 to 1.3 are
documented in the included change log.

Subject: OBERONM.ZIP - Oberon-M(tm) compiler, lib mods, docs (v1.0)
I have uploaded my Oberon-M compiler to SIMTEL20:
pd1:<msdos.pgmutl>
OBERONM.ZIP Oberon-M(tm) compiler, lib mods, docs (v1.0)
Oberon is the 2nd generation programming language past Pascal (and is
the next step past Modula-2). It cleans up most of the difficulties of
Modula, while giving a clean, simple way to do just about anything in a
type-safe way. The definition comes from Niklaus Wirth, at ETH in
Zurich (who of course defined its predecessors).
My MSDOS compiler has been in use for 18 months, and has seen no bugs
for over a year. It contains the language revisions made by Professor
Wirth. Note that this compiler (and its associated library modules)
are exclusively for MSDOS: standard object files are generated and
theoretically may be linked with other non-Oberon files.
Programs written using this package are source compatible with the
so-called Oberon System used at ETH Zurich.

SWPUTILS.ZIP Does vertical/horizontal text file extractions
This programs (Modify, Tail, Head, Lines, Fields) will allow you to do
partial extractions of a file. All programs can work as filters. You
can select a set of lines, a set of columns or even a set of fields
separated by arbitrary delimiters, you also can insert data at a
column, delete leading, trailing and repeated blanks or convert the
file to upper or lower case.
