Starting now, digests will be archived in [ISIB]digests-august-82 and so on. Files may be FTP'ed from ISIB by logging in to FTP with user name ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. INFO-PC will also be a repository for (free) software such as members of the forum may feel inclined to donate. To start things off, there are two programs in the library: Info-PC Program Library ----------------------- VT52.BAS VT52 terminal emulator. Requires 96K, IBM Async. Comm. Support, BASIC. (Gillmann@ECL, 8/2/82). FILEHEX.ASM Dumps diskette files in hex. Requires assembler. (Gillmann@ECL, 8/2/82). A list of the current program library is maintained in the file [ISIB]PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. To donate a program, send a message containing a description of the program and a copy of the source code to INFO-PC. I want to welcome everyone to the forum. I've had my IBM Personal Computer since March and I'm still happy with it. The large address space of the 8088 opens up a world of possibilities for more powerful software than 8-bit micros can handle. I'm typing this message on my PC using my new assembly language terminal emulator (successor to the program in the INFO-PC library). I'd be interested in hearing of peoples' experience with hooking the PC to the ARPANET. /Dick Gillmann (GILLMANN at USC-ECL) -------------------------------------------------------------
