- INTRODUCTION
-
- Always wanted to make games or programs that could support serial network ?
- This will may be the solution for you. This library will do all the dirty
- work for you such as putting up IO structure, calling device commands,
- setting parameters and more. The basic functions is just as easy to use
- such as the dos functions open(), read(), write() and close(). No more
- DoIO() !
-
- The library contains function to handle modem dialup and receive. This is
- ideal if you plan to make your own BBS package. You also get function to
- set parameters for you such as parity, handshaking etc. with just a simple
- call to the library.
-
- The library even contains its own AREXX port which allows access to almost
- every functions of the library. The host works like a host in its right
- meaning, no need to open the library from your arexx script. The arexx
- commands are instantly available as long as the library is resident in
- memory. What about letting FinalWriter at work update your documents at
- home via the modem directly ?
-
- Tested with duart.device 0 and 1 with nullmodem-cable. Tested agains modem.
- Should work fine with serial.device and compatible devices. Do not use with
- other devices such as trackdisk.device etc. Some of the functions are still
- in beta stage.
-
- The library functions are fully re-entrant and 100% system friendly.
- Written in assembler for optimal speed. Includes for Asm, SAS/C and Modula
- 2 in archive.
-
- You will also find example sources, full charset converter tables and
- developer information.
