Re:   Announcing a new modem program ...

Part of your problem is, I believe, the bug that prevents MEX from
running if a modem overlay is not installed; the patch in MEXNEWS.002
corrects that.  MEX will then run without having to MLOAD *except*, of
course, for the modem commands ... you have to install your modem
overlay with MLOAD (not MEXPAT10;; that's just for modifying the
defaults).  If you use MDM7, you have an overlay that you can use;
let's say (since I don't know its real name) that it's M7MD-2.ASM; if
you have MEX10.COM present on the default drive, you'd do:

       MEX.COM=MEX10.COM,M7MD-2   (note that M7MD-2.HEX must be
present)


If you're also installing the Smartmodem overlay, assemble it, then do
this:

       MLOAD MEX.COM=MEX10.COM,M7MD-2,MXO-SM10

((Just noticed that I ommited MLOAD in the first example line; pretend
that it's there).

Hope this gets you started ....                        --Ron
