> as it turns out the compiled version on my system is v1.1. I do have version 1.2a, which I think is the last one you released. I'll be glad to send it along with the doc file, but if you think you'll be tinkering with it and maybe adding a feature or two then I'll leave well enough alone. 😉 — Tom

Well, I'm gratified to see all this interest but the chances are slim indeed for another version. Atomclock is coded in Benchmark M2. I upgraded to M2 Sprint but before I got around to porting the code (the lib calls are different) I got hooked on fractals and lost interest in Atomclock. Now, Benchmark doesn't even exist on my system. Additional device support has always been a big feature request. Can't you hack the hardcoded reference to SER: to be something else? Tom, if you can upload the compiled verion 1.2a, I can upload its source code so if anyone is interested in a C port they can have at it. Thanks.

You bet — I'll upload 1.2a by the time you read this. Meanwhile, I don't need to doctor the executable since I've got a utility that redirects SER: calls, but it might be good for others to know it can be done with a hex editor. 🙂 If you wanna mess with the file description, I'm sure a friendly sysop will edit it for you. Actually, it'd probably make sense to change the uploader ID to yours if they have a way to do that… — Tom
