INTRODUCTION

Always  wanted to make games or programs that could support serial network ?
This  will  may be the solution for you.  This library will do all the dirty
work  for  you  such  as  putting  up IO structure, calling device commands,
setting  parameters  and  more.   The basic functions is just as easy to use
such  as  the  dos  functions  open(), read(), write() and close().  No more
DoIO() !

The  library  contains function to handle modem dialup and receive.  This is
ideal  if  you  plan to make your own BBS package.  You also get function to
set  parameters for you such as parity, handshaking etc.  with just a simple
call to the library.

The  library  even contains its own AREXX port which allows access to almost
every  functions  of  the  library.  The host works like a host in its right
meaning,  no  need  to  open  the library from your arexx script.  The arexx
commands  are  instantly  available  as  long  as the library is resident in
memory.   What  about  letting  FinalWriter at work update your documents at
home via the modem directly ?

Tested with duart.device 0 and 1 with nullmodem-cable.  Tested agains modem.
Should work fine with serial.device and compatible devices.  Do not use with
other devices such as trackdisk.device etc.  Some of the functions are still
in beta stage.

The  library  functions  are  fully  re-entrant  and  100%  system friendly.
Written  in assembler for optimal speed.  Includes for Asm, SAS/C and Modula
2 in archive.

You  will  also  find  example  sources,  full  charset converter tables and
developer information.


IMPORTANT:
----------

Read the guide file for important notes!

Email  me  for  bugs  or  comments.   I  am  happy  to receive new ideas for
functions and features!

This will be the last release on my part.


TODO:

- Nothing

BUGS:

- Doesn't it work with MC68000/MC68010 ?
- Does 1.3 version really work with kickstart 1.3 ?
