? MiniNet Version 1.03 User Documentation Copyright (c)1983 David J. Ulmer MiniNet Version 1.04 is a simple network software system for the TRS-80 Model 100 computer. MiniNet is designed to be one of the simplist and easiest to operate computer networks in the world today. It is designed to support a small group of people with an asyncronous text communications system. MiniNet allows simple uploading and automatic file maintenance of a small number of variable length files. As new files are uploaded the oldest files are automatically deleted to make space. MiniNet supports a maximum of 13 files in approximately 20K of memory. This small memory helps to keep the social group alive and dynamic since the system quickly forgets past discussions. The small memory also helps to encourage people to log into the system more often and participate more actively in group discussions. MiniNet supports a simple Password security system. Names and Passwords are assigned by the system operator and should be entered exactly as assigned to provide access to the system. MININET NUMERIC COMMANDS: 1. LOGOFF: The numeric command (1) logs the user off the system and resets the system to answer the next call. 2. UPLOAD: The upload command opens a new file to recieve the users text. Line length should be kept to less than 132 characters (Line length of 38 is recommended for easy reading on most systems). After the file has been uploaded the user should enter a Control-C to close the upload file. 3. DELETE: This command is used to delete any file from the system menu. The primary purpose of this command is to delete files that have been entered by error. 4. HELP: This command displays this HELP file. MININET CONTROL CHARACTERS: CTRL-Z Hangs up the phone CTRL-C Aborts a download and closes an upload file CTRL-S Stops a download CTRL-Q Restarts a download Please enable X-ON/X-OFF or CTRL- Q/Ctrl-S flow control on your computer to prevent lost characters during upload.
