KERMIT FOR JOYCE LOEBL MAGISCAN 2 IMAGE PROCESSOR ================================================= This is an adaptation of the Terak p-System Kermit to run on the Joyce Loebl Magiscan 2 image processor. New features added are as follows: - added ability for the parser to recognize digits, this enabled a Baudrate command to be implemented - added a command to set a work disk, set disk #. - The IO subroutines were put into an unit RS232 and changed to suit the Magiscan. - put the parser back into an unit since the Magiscan has 128K available. - modified the constants for the screen because the Magiscan only has 64 columns. - Added a unit SysUnit to enable the user to interogate the current work disk and delete files if so wishes. - Added a unit FileHandle which gives routines for accessing files for reading and writing, the old version of this didn't close a file if there was an unsuccessful receive/send this is now fixed. - Modified the Buffer empty and fill routines to use these. - Added the ability to do eight bit prefixing and the necessary routines for this. - Have added a new command called TRANSFER ( do a TRANSFER TYPE ), which enables transfers of image,data,code and text 'types'. - There is also image LOAD routine implemented, this allows the images to be loaded from disk and transfered to the Host straight from image memory. Features such as the ability to do 8-bit prefixing should be adaptable back into the original Terak implementation and derivatives of this.
