- This program is an attempt to try to make a very simple
- ST to ST link. The main objective was to make it as transparent as
- possible to the user and to other programs.
-
- In a multi ST MIDI loop all ST's in the loop must all be running the
- ANETMIDI.PRG for the NETWORK to work.
-
-
- LOADING AND SETUP
-
- ANET uses three user vectors starting at $210 and the drivemap
- located at $4C2. A reset using the reset buttom sometimes does not
- clear the lower system memory so if this program is resident you must
- use a cold start "power off and power on" or a reboot program for it to
- be reloaded correctly when you run the ANETMIDI.PRG or ANETMCTR.PRG after
- the reboot. The ANETMCTR.PRG has a reboot selection on the MENU.
-
- Double-click on the ANETMIDI.PRG to load the resident program then
- double-click on the ANETMCTR.PRG to load the control program. After the
- first load you can usually load both the resident and control programs by
- running ANETMCTR.PRG after a reboot.
-
- ONLY LOAD THE ANETMIDI.PRG IF YOU GET A MODULA-2 ERROR
- TRYING TO RUN ANETMCTR.PRG FIRST. AS IT WILL LOAD THE ANETMIDI.PRG FOR YOU.
-
- The control program lets you select the remote user, reboot the ST,
- reset the network message sequence count, turn the network on and off,
- see which ICONS to install to use the remote disks and of course to quit
- the control program. The NEW command on the sequence MENU is to resync
- the remote program if it gets out of sync due to a reboot, hang or and
- error condition. Click the mouse on NEW to send a resync command to the
- remote and try to access the ICON again.
- MAKE INT on the mode MENU will make a network setup file called
- ANETMIDI.INT that ANETMIDI.PRG reads to set the baud rate and to turn
- the netork on or off. ANETMCTR.PRG also reads the INT file when it is
- loaded and uses the parameters to set up the menu values. Clicking the
- pointer on MAKE INT will save the current menu values on the ANETMCTR.PRG
- menu to a new ANETMIDI.INT file.
-
- I have included sample user files ANETMIDI.ID ,ANETMIDI.ID0,
- ANETMIDI.ID1, ANETMIDI.ID2. These should be renamed to ANETMIDI.ID for
- the ST that you decide to be users 0 thru 2. You can of course add more
- users or change the user numbers as you like. A check by the user
- in the menu shows the current remote user selected. Click on another
- user to change the remote system. MAKE INT will save the new default
- user if you want it to save it. The first entry will be assigned to
- the local ST user number.
-
- USE
-
- Install the ICONS on the GEM DESKTOP for the remote system drive(s)
- you wish to access, then just use them just like any other disk drive. Due
- to the slower serial access it is usally better to copy the file a local
- disk if you wish to edit or run the file. Every effort has been made to
- make sure it is error free but I would only use it to read from the remote
- rather that sending files due to a crash may cause disk file links to be
- lost while creating new files on the remote system.
