There's a new version of LaddieAlpha up at http://bitchin100.com/files/linux/LaddieAlpha.EXE
This one will allow you to exit LaddieAlpha if you hit ENTER from TELCOM, which lets you get to the operating system command prompt. It was a quick hack... for some devices and for running with the -win32 flag you may have to hit ENTER 4 times. The reason is that the LaddieAlpha code was built around reading 4 byte headers. To get it to work with one ENTER keystroke I need to refactor the code to use 1 byte reads all the time. Not terribly hard but I didn't want to break something. Worked for me... let me know if anyone tries it and it works for them. On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Mike Stein <mhs.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: John R.
