Summary: Enough Already


Enough already!  I say, "UNCLE!" I promise never to use scanf, printf,
putc, getc, highsea, Hi-C, or any of the other formatted-non-formatted C
language subroutines known in the free world. (Cross my heart and hope to
die!:-)).  I think this subject has been beaten into submission.  Let's
move on to new business.

To all of you who responded to my problem with my RS232 program pak...
I am still trying to find someone who sells that 6551A UART IC in Columbus.
However, I have had some luck in getting my RS232 pak to work properly.
I have a large piece of glass that covers the top of my desk and my
Multipak Interface was not sitting completely on the glass.  The glass is only
about 1/16th of an inch thick, but it was enough to put some stress on the
card edge connector stuck into the Coco as the
interface rested on the glass and desk.  I moved the glass so that the MPI
and CoCo are completely on the glass and so far
I haven't had any problems.  I would still like to upgrade to the 6551A,
but our 3 month old baby is taking up most of my free time.  Maybe
someday...  Anyway, thanks once again to everyone who sent advice.

Has anyone downloaded any of the icon editors that Dale Pucket discussed in
the April issue of Rainbow Magazine?  Do they work well?  Speaking of Rainbow,
I see that some of you subscribe to Delphi and CIS.  Do you consider them
useful?  What are the benefits of subscribing?  Are there any
disadvantages to subscribing? Of the many forms of bulletin boards
(NETNEWS, Delphi, CIS, local BBSs, LISTSERVE COCO [sorry, Eric, I almost
forgot you], etc.) which do you use the most?  

Well, enough thought provoking questions for now...back to the discussion
of which is mightier, the putc or the printf:-):-)
