I. THE SUPER MORSE MANUAL
The Super Morse user manual is contained in the file, SM.DOC. The
manual can be printed out with the following commands:
COPY SM.DOC PRN:
II. DATA FILE LOCATION
Versions prior to 1.04 required that all data files (those with HLP and SM
extensions) be placed in a special subdirectory named \SM. Since this proved
very confusing to many users, I have eliminated this requirement. If you
already have Super Morse installed with a \SM subdirectory, you should copy all
files with an SM and an HLP extension to the directory in which SM.EXE is
located. If you choose to leave SM.EXE in the \SM subdirectory, no changes
will be required. If you are installing Super Morse for the first time, you
can ignore the foregoing.
If you run Super Morse on a floppy disk, DO NOT USE A WRITE
PROTECT TAB!
III. SPEED CALIBRATION
Before you run Super Morse you should calibrate the code speed to suit the
clock speed for your computer and to account for any memory resident programs
which you have loaded. Each time you change the memory resident program
enviroment you will need to recalibrate code speed. When doing so use the
following procedure:
1. Select the <T>ools command from the main menu.
2. Select the <A>uto Calibrate subcommand. This will automatically
provide an approximate calibration. For best results continue with the
following steps.
3. Select the <S>peed test subcommand.
4. After the number of words specified in the send speed is
sent, the actual time required and a suggested direction of change for the
timing factor are indicated.
5. Keep running the <S>peed test and adjusting the timing factor
until almost exactly 60 seconds are required for the speed test. Due
to the nature of the PC clock, it may not be possible to attain exactly
60 seconds. To be on the safe side try for slightly under 60 seconds.
On my Zenith Z-150 with a NEC V-20 running at 4.77 MHz. and with no memory
resident programs installed, the timing factor is about 1220. With several
memory resident programs installed, the timing factor decreased to considerably
less than that (in the 600 range).
