User`s manual

Most people will probably elect to use 19,200 baud on computer serial
port COM1: or the selection for 19,200 baud on COM2:.
IRQ4 is used in conjunction with an interrupt service routine for COM1:
when PGMX is invoked if you installed it for COM1:. This is a hardware
line on your PC to give the system an interrupt whenever a character
is received. If you know that something else in your computer is using
this hardware interrupt line, then you should use the other com line,
which uses IRQ3 (COM2:).
IRQ3 is also used in the same manner for COM2: when PGMX is
invoked if you installed it for COM2:. If you know something in your
system uses IRQ3 for interrupts, then you must use the other com port.
The next selection that you have to make is where your line printer is
located, on parallel port 1, 2, or 3 (lpt1:, lpt2: or lpt3:). This has to be
done so that PGMX knows where to send printed data.
Next you will be asked if you have a “GTEK Super Serial Card”. If you
do not have one of our PCSS–8 or MCSS–8 cards, answer no. If you
do have one, answer yes and respond with the channel you would like
to use. After completing this step, you are ready to use PGMX. You
should not have to run PINSTALL again unless you want to change the
configuration.
See the example for C>PGMX<cr> later in the manual.
Operation
PGMX is a “command driven program” as opposed to a “MENU driven
program” which means that everything you do is done by entering a
“command” on the command line instead of “selecting” the command
from a menu. This makes the program very fast when you have learned
what the commands are.
In most cases the commands are exactly the same command as what
the programmer is expecting, so the selection of the command is
somewhat intuitive.
There are 2 ways that commands may be given to PGMX:
1. From the PC or MS DOS command line.
2. From within PGMX.
