Hello Netland,
        I am looking for the public domain GW-Basic compiler.  Since there
are no Rainbow BBS within the local calling area of NYC, could someone
upload it to andrew.cmu, or email it to me?
        I have hacked together a little (<100 lines) BASIC program that
makes my Rainbow approximate a tek4010 terminal.  Unfortunately with
interpreted BASIC, it only runs at about 600 baud.
        What I would really like is some specification for accessing
the COM1 port -- then I could write the silly thing in a Real language.
        Many thanks.
                                Paul Hsieh
