Hi, I think I must be one of the 'silent minority' as I've never posted anything to 'sam-users' before (better late than never). I put a couple of things up on the FTP site as 'incoming' but it doesn't look as if anyone can download from that directory. So if anyone is interested in either of the two zips then let me know and I'll e-mail a copy. The fist is 'amrad.zip' which is a bit specialised as it's a Programm for Radio amateurs and short wave listeners to send and receive Slow Scan Television (SSTV), FAX, Radio Teletype (RTTY) and CW (Morse), some modes need the Sambus clock as it runs in test mode and delivers the timing signals. Amrad can also control a TNC which is a sort of microcomputer controlled radio terminal. Though this mode can also be used to communicate through a modem (at a push) and has been used to link two sams with the other running COMIX. The TNC mode has the advantage that is has local echo which I think was misssing on COMIX. The package also contains a logging program for radio contacts (and it's Y2K tested wow!) The second zip file is SCPRINT23 which is a PC Programm to List a directory of a '.dsk' image and then print open type files to the PC printer. The main use is with simcoupe/wincoupe which I think still doesn't support the pc printer directly. If you 'list' a basic Programm to an open type file on the '.dsk' image with simcoupe it still contains all of Sams tokens for key words, SCPRINT recognises these and prints a normal listing to the PC printer.There are probably better ways of doing things but it works.
Even if a bit late, happy new year to all Sam-users. Ian
