I do not know what you can do about it unless you can find the offending string and have the terminal program strip it. I do know one of the sequences sets the keyboard to application mode. Making this short because I am using a stupid version of Telnet that sends control character garbage when I use a non alphabetic character.

Hi, John - As you may have noted from one of my subsequent messages, this isn't a bug, but rather it is a function that has been included as part of the "CC3 Level2 Windows Compatibility".

While Bill Chapel is now active with HAM Radio on the PC, he also still supports the CoCo. "Mid Iowa & Country CoCo" has aquired an OS-9 tutitoral series and other articles from Bill, for reprint in The UPGRADE Diskmagazine. Prices range from $7 to $30. I didn't want to list them a here, so as not to creat an ad persay,, but rather to answer general information asked for. Dynamic has a variety of other software available as well. Whether CoCo or PC, if you'r into HAM Radio, I'd look to Bill (Phone and address at the end of file) for some good HAM software support. The following is a very condensed listing from: The UPGRADE May '93. (also other issues) MORSE TERM 3: This is all you need to send and receive Morse Code with your color computer. Interface cables are included for connecting the computer to your transceiver. These connect from your transceiver's "AUDIO" output and "KEY" input jacks to the "Serial I/O" and "Right Joystick" ports of a color computer. A "Y" adaptor and external speaker is needed to monitor the audio or audio can be fed to the computer via a cassette cable. To transmit just type the Morse characters or send any of 8 preprogrammed messages. Messages can also be sent from a tape or disk file. For receiving, the program automatically adjusts to the speed of the code and copies and displays the characters up to about 30 wpm. The keyer is for solid state Transceivers with a maximum key up voltage of 15 volts. We can provide instructions for building a keying relay for use with vacuum tube transceivers. A 3-circuit 1/4 inch plug is included to plug into the transmitter's key jack. A stereo to mono adaptor plug (not included) is required for 2 circuit keying. MTERM-CD (Disk) STATION and REPEATER LOGS: The STATION LOG keeps a record of your contacts. Just enter the information as it is requested. Items that are the same such as date, frequency, and type of emission need only be entered once and changed as needed. Save, Print, or add to the log and quickly find stations. The REPEATER LOG finds re- peaters by City, Frequency, or Call Signs. List all the repeaters in a City or all of the repeaters on a frequency. Add comments such as beam headings or access information. Enter a call sign and all repeaters using that call are displayed. Also lists repeaters in frequency increments and prints the results to a printer. Files can be loaded from disk or tape. For the color computer 3 the 32, 40 or 80 column screen can be choosen. Both logs are included. LOG-D (Disk) HR-1 MORSE: HR-1D (Disk) AUDIO LAB (new): This is a collection of three programs that allow you to use your computer as a precision audio frequency generator, an audio frequency counter, or an audio spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer can be used as a tuning meter for ham radio teletype and slow scan television. A cassette cable is used for audio IN/OUT to the computer. AL-D (Disk) HAM RTTY TERMINAL: Uses the cassette port. Requires a simple interface to connect cassette audio into the Mic jack and receiver audio into the cassette port. Interface instructions are included 60, 75, & 100 WPM Baudot. RTTY-D (Disk) WEATHER FACSIMILE (WEFAX): Draw weather maps on the screen. Feed your transceiver's audio into the cassette port. Requires a joystick. WEFAX-D (Disk) HAM RADIO STUDY PROGRAMS: These programs drill you on the questions that are on the FCC exams. Study programs on Disk (-D) NOVICE TECHNICIAN GENERAL ADVANCED EXTRA RADIO MODS (New): This is a collection of articles on various radio modifications for ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu and other manufacturers of ham radio equipment and scanners.

As I look through the docs, I also see that it fixes bugs found in previous version in the mode that directories were opened in, it fixes the "^" (set priority) option, and fixes unlinking of ShellSub modules. This seems to document it pretty well...

From: JOHNBAER To: GREGL Hello Greg, Continuing from our privet mail about the OS-9 Sig gopher, here's something I did find that didn't work. Trying to download a `.ar' file from chestnut, the Sig gopher tries to `get' the file as a `text' files, failes, then asked if I wanted to try a `binary' format. So far, so good. I tell it `y'es, it does it, asked for download protocol, I give it zmodem, the file is now on my system. Now, I go to another window, use `ar -t' to check the file contents, `ar' tells me that `this is not an archive or file is corrupted'... I used dump to look at the file, found 584 bytes BEFORE the start of the `ar' file! Looks like, to me, that Delphi didn't flush the buffer before the second attempted `get' of the file in binary format. Also, I noted that the `incoming' directory didn't show on the `list' that the gopher gave for chestnut. Anyone else having problems with the OS-9 Sig gopher, please join in here. Lets get this `fixed' for other users of the Sig.

I'll also add the incoming directory for chestnut to the list. -- Greg -*- 90351 16-OCT 23:15 General Information RE: Gopher Problems here. (Re: Msg 90339) From: GREGL To: JOHNBAER As I mentioned to you in mail, Delphi is using a Gopher to FTP translator for getting to the FTP sites. I originally set it up using gopher.gsfc.nasa.gov as the translator. Upon investigation this evening, I found gopher.uiuc.edu seems to be somewhat better (at least it knows .gz files are binary whereas all of the others say text). So, anyway, I changed all of the FTP sites to use gopher.uiuc.edu and also added the incoming directory for Chestnut. Unfortunately it's the Gopher to FTP translator sites that handle binary/text extensions so there's nothing we can do about binary files showing as text. If you want my opinion, these things should at least allow the users to specify whether the files are text or binary. Alas, this seems to make too much sense so nobody does it this way. If I sound sarcastic, it's because I'm in a rotten mood right now. Sorry 'bout that. -- Greg -*- End of Thread. -*- 90342 16-OCT 18:09 System Modules (6809) PowerBoost & SCII From: NEALSTEWARD To: ALL Can anyone suggest how I can get B&B's PowerBoost to patch my SCII drivers, since I use the alternately addressed version? PB tuneup skips the SCII drivers and I cannot use the ones addressed at $FF74- $FF77 because of a conflict with the Ken-Ton SCSI pak. if I make a boot with the regular drivers, run tuneup and then use ded to patch the 10 or 12 bytes that are different so CC3disk addresses $FF58-5F? Has anyone else discovered thsi problem? thanks... -*- 90343 16-OCT 18:55 General Information Lost Mail From: MREGC To: ALL If anyone sent mail to me on the dates of 10/13 - 10/15, please send it to me again.

I ran The Pink Rose bbs. which was located in Winsted, Connecticut U.S.A. Well we moved and are up again. The New location is Mansfield Ct, USA. Telephone number is 202-429-6338. Fidonet 1:327/6338 The Pink Rose is attempting to re-establish itself after its two year Hiatus. I really would like to see people login. On a RElated note. I found out that I can produce a CD-ROM of Os9 software for no charge from Walnut Creek CDROM. The problem is that my Os9 collection is scant and I do not have enough to fill up 600MB of a CDROM. Heres where other Sysops who have coco and os9 files come in. Send a file attach to The Pink Rose addressed to Michele Marie Dalene Please make all your archives inside of your attach LHA 2.11 compliant archives. and Include descriptions for the files. If you use Remote Access 1.11 use the RA Files.bbs form. RIBBS uses a similar form. that includes filename and description. No need of file sizes. I will create that info when the archives are ready for CD-ROM production Please keep archives smaller than 500KB if possible. I do not have a deadline of when this will be ready to distribute as I only got the basic info. but a NOTE. Make sure filenames are Msdos-compliant. as they will be stored on QIC-80 tapes which will be sent to Walnut Creek for the CD-rom production. As well as stored on MY hard drive for downloading until the package is ready. This option is open to all os9 users who have file archives. From my own Os9 collection I have ascertained that we can store alot of the Os9 Level1 and Level 2 as well as Os9/68K stuff on a CDrom. Please state os9 type in your descriptions!!! If you have questions Please reply to me via netmail at 1:327/6338 or call The Pink Rose at 203-429-6338.
