A friend of mine wrote the MyCLI version 1.1, are you talking about the version recently posted to People Link? If so, there are a few other problems in that version – commands like Diskcopy, which access the keyboard as in "Press RETURN to continue", will hang MyCLI if entered at the MyCLI prompt. Normally, you should "RUN MYCLI", to leave a free, normal CLI task around, and do those sorts of commands from there. The problems with the serial port aren't the responsibility of my friend, Rick Wirch, since he never touched that code – it was all in version 1.0, and he doesn't modem, so he never updated it. BTW, a Manx version of MyCLI, which also cleaned up a small leap year bug, was posted to People Link a few days ago, thanks to D.J. James. Rick would like to see the new and improved versions, so he can play Keeper of the Source, since the original author, Mike Schwartz of Mt. View, CA, is not listed in the phone book. ??? I called the one Mike S. who was listed, and he said he had gotten a series of calls about MyCLI. To a non-computer person, these calls were quite amusing. Anyways, this program needs to multi-task better, and maybe even merge in some of the Unix-like shell that's been passed around. It needs version 2.0 to be really useful, I think. I'll harass Rick about these bugs.
