Submissions for the RSX Spring 1984 Symposium, Cincinnati From the Greater Lansing LUG (accounts [335,*]) Hugh Gregg Physiology Department Michigan State University E. Lansing, Mi 48824 (517) 355-5125 (mornings only) [335,50] CATCH is a program that is equivalent to "PIP filename=TI:". On RSX11M systems, you cannot set typeahead serial, and using the above PIP line, overruns go to MCR, DCL or CCL and not into your file. This program is multibuffered (8 input buffers in a ring, 2 output buffers thru FCS), and catches most every thing sent to it. Note that the priority is important, depending on system load. [335,50] REMOTE is a program derived from DUPLEX, and creates a link from a terminal to another port, say a modem. This is almost a complete rewrite, and handles input through the typeahead buffer (the TT: handler is more efficient than the AST mechanism), allows "smart" terminals like VT100's with smooth scroll to stop the host, not the local computer (ie uses READ-PASS-ALLs, ^C is passed as ^C, ^S like ^S, etc), uses the new V4.1 feature of dial out (can dial out on /REMOTE lines), sets the baud rate (for smart modems), and autodials using HAYES modem protocal. A useful program, if I say so myself. Known problem I hope to find an answer to at this symposium: When transmitting a file with REMOTE, the some of the echo (for long lines) is trashed. Filling the typeahead buffer? Wierd interaction between GET$ and QIO$? If anyone fixes this, I'd like the solution.
