GTHEALL@PENNDRLN.BITNET (George A. Theall) (12/04/87)
In response to Michael Greenberg's queries: 1. Code Blue is not in the public domain. It is available thru Suitable Solutions - phone (408) 727 9090 - for under $100. I've also seen it advertised by a few other dealers selling Rainbow products. Check out the fall '87 issue of Rainbow Market, which is put out by Newline Software, PO Box 289, Tiverton, RI 02878. There is, however, an earlier version of Code Blue that is in the public domain - it's called DIBEM. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two, but DIBEM might be all you need. Look around on some bulletin boards or send me e-mail. 2. The latest version of MSKermit for the Rainbow is v2.29, released in May 86. This should be available from most bulletin boards, or try contacting the program developers directly at Columbia University. Send e-mail to KERMSRV@CUVMA on BITNET with the line HELP. 3. I believe the latest release of MicroEMACS for the Rainbow is v3.7i. There have been more recent releases, but Rainbow support was dropped in Jan 87. Note that there is a bug in the code that prevents you from redefining from an .RC file combinations of CTRL, META, and FN keys. I have located the bug and written a fix, but since I don't have a C compiler and my friends here don't know how to interface MS-C and ASM modules, I haven't been able to correct the bug. Can someone give me a hand with this? Essentially what's involved is providing the correct segment names for the ASM routines. As for your other questions, I'll have to let someone else in NETLand answer. George
