- Notes for Revision 3.0
If you have just acquired the shareware version of the LiteComm(tm)
Toolbox, try the QBTTL sample program and look over its code, feel free
to experiment with the functions and, if you like what you see, please
register and join our list of satisfied users from all over the world.
If you've registered LiteComm, thank you. Your registration helps make
it possible for us to continue supporting and enhancing the product.
With Revision 3.0, we have done further work to tighten the code in the
kernel to decrease its size, and improve its ability to handle higher
baud rates. We have also enhanced the initialization and set-up logic
to include truly variable baud rates, and to improve the way in which
the routines will behave on older-model PC's with 8250-based serial
ports. Some additional functions have been added to the package as
well, and some existing functions have been substantially modified in
the way that they act. See the documentation section "New in Version
3.0" for additional details.
Datalight-C users please note...due to a lack of interest in the
Datalight version of the package, we have discontinued support for this
compiler. The last available Datalight version is 2.6.
You should not have to modify the any of the source code to compile it
on any of the supported compilers. Extensive use of C preprocessor
statments has been made to insure that all modules will compile under
any of the supported compilers with no additional effort.
For source code registrants, we have also provided a complete set of
"make" files to assist you in rebuilding the libraries, should it become
necessary, or should you wish to modify the supplied routines. Be
cautious...the make files, at a minimum, assume that you have both ARC
and LIB available in either your current working directory or somewhere
in the current path.
LiteComm is an advanced product for advanced users. Due to the various
conditions under which LiteComm might be used, we have not attempted to
provide you with specific instructions on linking the LiteComm libraries
with your application programs. We assume that you are familiar with
the methods needed to link third-party libraries, such as LiteComm, with
your applications. Answering specific questions regarding linking of
LiteComm to any given application is not practical, since it requires
specific knowledge of how your system is organized, and of your
application that cannot generally be obtained by telephone.
We have had a large number of telephone calls from TurboC users
regarding use of the TurboC version under the integrated environment TC.
Largely, these questions have resulted from two problem areas. If you
are attempting to link the LiteComm functions with a TurboC program in
the integrated environment, you must first create a PROJECT (.PRJ) file.
Please consult the TurboC Reference Manual for additional detail. DO
NOT expect Information Technology to assist you in building a project
file if you haven't first read the documentation thoroughly. And some
individuals, through no fault of their own have been misled by the
Library File setting under the TurboC Environment. By setting this
path, you are informing TurboC where to look for ITS standard
libraries. TurboC will NOT follow this path looking for third-party
libraries. If the LiteComm libraries are not in your current working
directory, you must specify the full path name of the library in your
project file. Please don't blame us...take it up with Borland
International.
