Short: Update dignet.library to 3.03 Author: kenny@bgnett.no (Kenneth "Kenny" Nilsen) Uploader: kenny@bgnett.no (Kenneth "Kenny" Nilsen) Version: 3.030 (UPDATE ONLY) Type: util/libs $VER: dignet.library 3.03 (29.03.97) Copyright (C) 1997 by Digital Surface/Kenneth "Kenny" Nilsen. All rights reserved. UPDATE ARCHIVE (get the main archive util/libs/DigNet.lha for docs++). - InitModem() problem (- Thanks to Ernest J. Gainey III) Function was documented to accept NULL pointer for init string which should cause it to use default init string (ATZ\r). Routine skipped out due to resource tracking if initstring was nullpointer. Nothing seem to make a difference no matter how I changed the library code. Solution: Init-string is now required for InitModem() ! Also discovered a minor bug in DignetDEBUG. It had moved command names pointers so it reported wrong names from number 29. Fixed! Tested with nullmodem.device and it works fine as long as you don't use the InitDefault() function (something there that nullmodem.device doesn't like.. dunno what) Also thanks to Ernest J. Gainey III for Modula 2 includes! This is only an update file. Get the whole archive util/libs/DigNet.lha version 3 from Aminet to read documentations and to get FD files etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION Always wanted to make games or programs that could support serial network ? This will maybe be the solution for you. This library will do all the dirty work for you. All you need to do is to call read and write functions to communicate. No more hustling with setting up structures, ports and pools to use the device. No more DoIO. From version 3 you can even dialup via modem or receive from modem by calling a function. The function do the dial/wait studd and return error or baud speeds. You can even make your own BBS program. 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. The library functions are fully re-entrant.
