From what I see here and in PCS-44, Maxiterm's problems are not just the DOS; apparently, this program was a bit of a premature ejaculation, if you'll pardon the simile. XMODEM and KERMIT are both available as C sources on the IBM SIG, if any of the developers want to fiddle. I'd sure like to see some object files which could be invoked from an Abasic SHELL statement (assuming that it would work without crashing, a rarity with Abasic). It is no sweat to pump the Amiga hardware from C if you can write a couple of assembler subroutines (inp(portnumber) and out(portnumber,value)) where portnumber is the memory-mapped hardware address, interfaced to the C stack frame conventions. I've done it for my Compupro 68000 and it runs just swell at 1200 baud. -LDM-
