Subject: Announcing a new modem program ...

On first look, MEX seems to be a great program, if your idea of fun is
watching the selected drive buzz for a while, then go to A: for a
second (obviously a JMP 0H), then return to CP/M. Maybe the
instructions weren't explicit enought for me. What did I do wrong?

First, I FTPed the files from SIMTEL to MC, then used MMODEM to
download them to my system. When I got them onto my disk (C), I tried
running MEX10.COM first, just to see how it ran. It gave the above
described behavior. Then I modified the MEXPAT10 file and assembled.
Next problem, the instructions say to say MLOAD
NEWMEX.COM=MEX10.OBJ,MEXPAT10...what MEX10.OBJ? I tried renaming
MEX10.COM to MEX10.OBJ, and ran MLOAD. It ran, spat out some data, and
running the resulting COM file got the same results. Next I tried
downloading the MEX10.HEX file and LOADing it. Same behavior. I'm
running a Morrow MD II with an external third drive. What am I doing
wrong?
