BYTE STREAM TESTER UTILITY
                           Release Level 1.0.0




The Byte Stream Tester utility is used to test [Comm] byte streams.  Its primary purpose is to transmit and receive data, and to manually raise/lower CTS and DTR.  Input and output uses byte streams, so the same program can read from a keyboard, text file, or comm connection, and it can print to the screen, a file, a printer, a queue, or a comm connection.  It also has the capability to output a repeated message.  It does its best to display the current status of CTS, DTR, and RTS.


This application consists of one runfile: BST.Run and includes BST.obj for relinking, so that custom communication applications may be tested.

Product Name   : Byte Stream Tester
Supported On   : B24, B26, B27, B28, B38, B39, and all SuperGen hardware
Supported OS   : BTOS II, CTOS I, CTOS II, CTOS III

Description    : The Byte Stream Tester utility is used to test [Comm] byte 
                 streams.  The primary purpose of the Byte Stream Tester 
                 utility is to transmit and receive data, and to manually 
                 raise/lower CTS and DTR.  Input and output uses byte streams, 
                 so the same program can read from a keyboard, text file, or 
                 comm connection, and it can print to the screen, a file, a 
                 printer, a queue, or a comm connection.  It also has the 
                 capability to output a repeated message.  It does its best to 
                 display the current status of CTS, DTR, and RTS.

Directions/Use : Where the input byte stream will be read one byte at a time 
                 and copied to the output byte stream.  Reading continues
                 until any error is received (eg: EOF).  The program may be 
                 run by executing the /Byte Stream Tester command with 
                 parameters passed to the following two fieldsd:
                 
                 Input byte stream

                 Output byte stream
                
                 Both fields are mandatory.  Where string will be copied (as a 
                 unit) to the output byte stream until the FINISH key is 
                 pressed.  This is useful for testing [COMM] byte streams.
                 
                 Additionally, when using [COMM] byte streams, the following
                 keys affect communication:
                 
                 F1     Lower DTR
                 F2     Lower RTS
                 F9     Raise DTR
                 F10    Raise RTS
                 SPACE  Lower both DTR & RTS
                 GO     Raise both DTR & RTS
                 
      Increase delay between repeated strings
                       Decrease delay between repeated strings
