On SIMTEL there is some Turbo Pascal v3.0 code in a file called COMMCALL.ARC,
written by Alan Bishop.  It seems to work well.  I also have the source of
a terminal emulator, written by one Steve Nutt, which uses Alan Bishop's code.

I have put a lot of work into modifying Steve's terminal emulator, and now want
to port it to a later version of Turbo Pascal.  Unfotunately, Alan's stuff is
won't compile under later versions of TP.  (It makes extensive use of the *
operator in inline code).

Has anyone been through the exercise of rewriting the code in COMMCALL for
later versions of Turbo Pascal?

Alternatively, can anyone tell me where I might contact Alan?  The last address
I have for him is bishop@ecsvax.  I don't seem to get any response when I send
mail there.

Many Thanks,

Peter Summers
