- This is a complete Windows application which demonstrates use of the CDILs
- and the FDILs. It is designed to communicate with the Newton SoupDrink
- package (soupdrnk.pkg), which is also in this archive.
-
- Most of the interesting DIL code can be found in the file Engine.c, which
- holds the cross-platform code which makes most of the DIL API calls.
-
- The SoupDrink application has two test scripts. The first, "Read Soup",
- will read the entire contents of any soup on the Newton device. It does
- this by sending a command to the Newton device indicating the name of the
- soup to read, and then repeatedly reading frames which are sent from the
- Newton application, converting them to text, and writing them to the file
- SoupData.out.
-
- The second test script, "New Name", constructs a name card frame for the
- built-in Names application, and sends it to the Newton device. The Newton
- SoupDrink application adds it to the Names soup.
-
-
- Note that the SoupDrink application always uses COM1. You should provide
- an interface for the user to select which port is to be used. If you are
- sending large binary objects, or are experiencing transmission problems,
- it may be necessary to lower the baud rate to 9600 baud.
-
- Also note that there are two makefiles; one for Windows 3.1 (SOUP16.MAK)
- and one for 32-bit versions of Windows (SOUPDRNK.MAK). Both versions
- should work under Windows 95.
-
- There is only one difference between Windows code and MacOS code: after
- calling CDPipeListen, you must wait for a short period to let the pipe
- state change to kCDIL_ConnectPending. There is an example of how to
- perform this loop in engine.c. It is #ifdef'd such that it will not
- execute on a Macintosh, but it will not cause harm if it does run.
