I'm currently writing a comms program for the BBC/Master, which I intend
to release (in a cutdown state) as shareware. as well as posting on
various bb's in new zealand, I intend to post as a binary on usenet, for
widespread dispersal. a full version will be avaliable from me after
release for NZ$30 (~UK10pounds).
so, a bit about the program....
it's written in full machine code, and will be fully bbc B/master
compatible. it uses sideways ram extensively, the more you have the
better.
* all screen modes available on all machines.
* screen scrollback (more if you have more sideways ram)
* very complete ansi/VT102 emulation
* IBM character set including extended characters
* Dialling Directory with repeat dial/dial from marked list etc
* Auto Login
* Incoming/outgoing serial buffers extended
* more powerful file transfer system
- Currently Xmodem/Ymodem (and variants, CRC etc), I hope to include
PCTrans, Kermit, and Zmodem before final release. note that the
Shareware version will probably only support Xmodem.
* Fully menu driven
+ Most usual comms program features (log session to a file, etc).
please mail me with any questions/suggestions you have.
