Short: V94.Dec.10 - 2 player game Modem/NullModem/Ami-TCP Author: dhomas@unb.ca Uploader: dhomas@unb.ca Type: game/2play GridLock is a 2 player game, with an original concept. Support for Modem, Null-Modem and Ami-TCP connections. Both mouse and joystick supported. This is an update to 93-Dec-16. New In This Version ------------------- - Major bug, which was the reason for most lock-ups, has been fixed. This was a problem caused by the compiler, not my program. YEAH! - 'SERIALUNIT=' and 'SERIALDEVICE=' configuration commands added to allow multi-I/O card support. - Status of the serial control lines is now determined by a SDCMD_QUERY call, rather than a direct hardware read. - Null Phone Numbers are no longer dialed. - In MODEM mode, exiting preferences no longer activates a connection. - Updated my EMail address and the copyright year. - Added Error.Handler for the serial device. - Added support for 14400 baudrate. - Replaced GridLock.cfg with support for Workbench ToolTypes. - Changed the use of 'HOST=' and 'PHONE=' settings. - Fixed error in Set.Brightness routine. - Complete re-write of all serial communication. - Text strings are now read from an external file. German language file is now included. - Current directory is now returned to entry state, upon exit. - Implemented a connection re-syncing handler. - Implemented "Connecting..." notification in NULL-MODEM mode. - Updated GridLock.pic with wider message boxes and new graphics. - Fixed bug in the preferences window, which always displayed 'Control' as Joystick, regardless of its setting. - Updated GridLock.pic2 with new message and error boxes, and graphics. - 'Press ESC...' and 'Press ANY KEY...' message directives added. - New icons. - Added German text installation script and icon. dhomas trenn ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 129 99 23.2% 10-Dec-94 13:18:26 GridLock/Deutsche 834 309 62.9% 10-Dec-94 11:43:08 GridLock/Deutsche.info 44693 13110 70.6% 10-Dec-94 18:55:02 GridLock/Doc.txt/GridLock.doc.ansi 43109 12910 70.0% 10-Dec-94 18:55:36 GridLock/Doc.txt/GridLock.doc.txt 1537 804 47.6% 14-Nov-94 22:32:52 GridLock/German/GridLock.txt 87476 36647 58.1% 10-Dec-94 14:31:52 GridLock/GridLock 41028 10348 74.7% 30-Nov-94 16:51:56 GridLock/GridLock.doc.pic 39824 13166 66.9% 10-Dec-94 18:53:14 GridLock/GridLock.guide 851 315 62.9% 16-Jun-94 13:47:50 GridLock/GridLock.guide.info 2921 569 80.5% 10-Dec-94 13:14:48 GridLock/GridLock.info 17342 3075 82.2% 20-Nov-94 19:21:38 GridLock/GridLockData/GridLock.pic 32216 2812 91.2% 20-Nov-94 19:12:56 GridLock/GridLockData/GridLock.pic2 8364 3689 55.8% 05-Nov-90 13:45:54 GridLock/GridLockData/GridLock.RAW 1365 734 46.2% 12-Nov-94 17:17:22 GridLock/GridLockData/GridLock.txt 10724 4783 55.3% 10-Dec-93 20:39:02 GridLock/GridLockData/Soound1.RAW 14760 10465 29.0% 10-Dec-93 21:09:30 GridLock/GridLockData/Soound2.RAW 1022 477 53.3% 10-Dec-93 14:38:48 GridLock/GridLockData/Soound4.RAW 8594 6654 22.5% 10-Dec-93 13:59:30 GridLock/GridLockData/Soound7.RAW 19456 13618 30.0% 10-Dec-93 14:32:54 GridLock/GridLockData/Teleport.RAW 37 37 0.0% 14-Dec-93 19:43:02 GridLock/Kill-GridLockPort 834 299 64.1% 10-Dec-94 13:32:18 GridLock/Kill-GridLockPort.info 3160 2261 28.4% 17-Sep-93 22:34:40 GridLock/libs/IFF.library 171 127 25.7% 10-Dec-94 14:24:58 GridLock/libs/ImportantNote.txt 2688 1969 26.7% 04-Jun-91 09:24:06 GridLock/libs/old/IFF.library 1203 726 39.6% 10-Dec-94 13:33:52 GridLock/MWB-Icons/GridLock.guide.info 4161 2114 49.1% 10-Dec-94 12:55:48 GridLock/MWB-Icons/GridLock.info 1190 736 38.1% 16-Jun-94 13:59:06 GridLock/MWB-Icons/Kill-GridLockPort.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 389689 142853 63.3% 12-Dec-94 00:13:50 27 files
