TOPIC :  MDM706 MODEM PROGRAM INSTALLATION INFORMATION
FROM  :  IRVIN M. HOFF
DATE  :  04/04/83

       This program is based on one originally written by Ward Christ-
ensen in Sept. 1977.  It has since undergone a considerable number of
changes.  Two of the latest were (1) printer control while in the "T"
(Terminal) mode and (2) combining the macro library into the program to
eliminate extra files -- also allowing assembly with ASM as well as MAC
or other popular assemblers.

NOTE:  Special configuration files are being added for specific types of
       computers.  Several are available as shown below.  Others will be
       provided for popular computers using external modems.  This file
       will be updated accordingly.

       To adapt this version to your equipment, you will want to get
some of the following programs:

        Program name    Squeezed Name          Purpose

        MDM706.ASM      MDM706.AQM        (source code file)
        MDM706.COM      MDM706.OBJ        (object code file)
       MDM706.DOC      MDM706.DQC        (how-to-use file)
        MDM706.INF      MDM706.IQF        (information file)
        MDM706..SET      MDM706.SQT        (how to set file)
        MDM706AP.ASM    MDM706AP.AQM      (Apple II overlay file)
        MDM706DP.ASM    MDM706DP.AQM      (Datapoint 1560 overlay)     
        MDM706GP.ASM    MDM706GP.AQM      (General purpose overlay)
        MDM706H8.ASM    MDM706H8.AQM      (Heath/Zenith H89 file)
        MDM706HZ.ASM    MDM706HZ.AQM      (Heath/Zenith Z-100 file)
        MDM706KP.ASM    MDM706KP.AQM      (KayPro overlay file)
        MDM706NM.ASM    MDM706NM.AQM      (Phone number overlay)
        MDM706OS.ASM    MDM706OS.AQM      (Osborne overlay file)
        MDM706XE.ASM    MDM706XE.AQM      (Xerox 820 overlay file)


       (The minimum would be any pair in one of the examples shown
below.)

       There are numerous ways by which you can set the proper ports,
status pin values, etc. for your equipment.


     1) Use DDT, SID or DUU with:      MDM706.COM    and
                                       MDM706.SET
                                                             or        
     2) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC)  MDM706.COM    and
        and DDT (or SID) with:         MDM706xx.ASM

               (706xx stands for an appropriate overlay)
                                                             or
     3) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC)  MDM706.ASM


        One of those should appeal to you.  The program is designed to
work immediately for PMMI users with no changes - just use MDM706.COM.
(You might wish to change some of the available options, however.)

        When ready to use the program, type 'H' (for 'HELP'), hit RET
and it will display helpful information on the commands.  There are so
many commands there are several pages.  You can abort the display with
a CTL-C.  (One of the most useful features being CTL-P to toggle your
printer on/off.)  You can also type a question mark (?) which shows the
current parameters.

        The program has received numerous worthwhile optional features
in the past several months.
