  1. Communications Toolkit version 3.10
  2. -----------------------------------
  3. This file explains the differences between versions 3.x and previous
  4. versions of Communications Toolkit.
  5. The file transfer protocols have been tested and comply with their
  6. associated standards. Support has been added for the new project
  7. system and the multiple memory models available under the TopSpeed
  8. Version 3.x.
  9. CHANGES:
  10. The Modules RS232, CommUtil, Keyboard, and Timer (which are operating
  11. system specific), have been changed to take advantage of conditional
  12. compilation.
  13. The source for both the DOS and OS2 versions have been included in
  14. each module.
  15. ADDITIONS:
  16. The module "Monitor" has been added to aid in debugging and illustrate
  17. the new feature of hooking into the SerialRead and SerialWrite
  18. RS232 functions. When Monitor is IMPORTed in the main module of a
  19. project its initialization code hooks into the above RS232 procedures
  20. and allows an upload or download to be captured to disk and examined later.
  21. The provided functions write out each sent or received character followed
  22. by an 18H or 19H, which display as an up or down arrow and indicate whether
  23. the character was sent or received. These characters can be changed to
  24. anything you wish, or deleted. The monitor file should be written to a
  25. RAM Disk to prevent excessive slowdown of the File Transfer.
