Subject: Bug fix for MDM706 quiet mode
TOPIC : FIX FOR MDM706 (.ASM AND/OR .COM FILES)
FROM : IRV HOFF W6FFC
DATE : 11 APR 83
If using the "SBQ" (Send Batch in Quiet mode), it often causes
a problem. Change the following byte on the MDM706.COM file via DDT:
0BCC 4C to 5B
B>DDT MDM706.COM
DDT VERS 2.2
4200 0100
-S0BCC
0BCC 4C 5B (add the 5B beside the 4C, hit return)
0BCD 1D . (add the period to return to DDT prompt)
-G0 (G0 to go back to CP/M prompt
B>SAVE 65 MDM706.COM (program is now fixed)
That puts the "Awaiting name NAK" into the quiet mode and clears
up the problem if using the program in that unusual manner. If using
the .ASM file, make this change:
SENDFN: CALL ILPRT
change to:
SENDFN: CALL ILPRTQ
We have a MDM707 file ready for distribution that incorporates this
change. It also adds an automatic timeout in the receive mode after 3
minutes of inactivity. Up to now we intentionally have had no timeout
at all. That has inadvertently caused some problems. This will help
prevent permanent lockout until the operator reboots.
