CWP.DOC
CWP.EXE is a simple code practice tutor. The course includes eight lessons
of five characters each. The characters may be sent at either the normal
rate or the characters may be sent at a rate greater than the word per minute
rate. The character and word per minute rates as well as the audio frequency
can be changed at any time during the operation of the program.
The program operates in two modes, LEARN or PRACTICE. On entry, the program
is in LEARN mode. Here, hitting any key will produce the corresponding
character out of the speaker. F10 will toggle the program to PRACTICE mode
where the computer sends random five letter groups.
The lesson number can be changed at any time by hitting the appropriate
function key. Also, all previous lessons can be toggled on and off with
F9.

PCFILTER.DOC
PCFILTER.EXE
Version 3.0
------------
Noisy telephone lines during ASCII data transfer often inject
printer control codes into the download file. Later, when
the file is printed, these extraneous control codes may put
the printer into various unwanted print modes. PCFILTER will
remove all ASCII codes below SPACE (32) except CR and LF.
Additionally, PCFILTER will optionally remove all ASCII codes
from 128 to 159 (since some editors may ignore the high bit
and interpret them as ASCII 0 to 31), restrict the file to a
particular line width, expand tabs, expand tab stops, create
output files with a maximum size limit, delete extra line
feeds and blank lines, delete extra spaces, and create a disk
file (.PRN) suitable for FILE IMPORT into LOTUS 1-2-3 for
file editing and printing.
OPERATING PCFILTER-
PCFILTER will create output file(s) on the default drive.
Other drives for input may be referenced but path names are
not supported in this version. Therefore, before PCFILTER is
run, make sure you have adequate space remaining for the
creation of the output file(s) on the default drive.
A typical command is 'PCFILTER IBMSIG'. This command will
create a filtered file 'IBMSIG.PRN' on the default disk drive
using the default parameters.
The default parameters values are-
Maximum line width (W) - 132 characters
Replacement ASCII code (R) - SPACE (ASCII 32)
Output file extension (E) - 'PRN'
Tab stop expansion (T) - every 8 print positions
Tab expansion (X) - defaults to (T), above
Filter of ASCII 128-159 (N) - these codes are filtered
Remove extra spaces (S) - extra spaces NOT filtered
Limit file size (L) - limited to approximately 63K
Delete line feeds (D) - extra line feeds NOT deleted
Parameter (T) converts TAB STOPS (ASCII 9) in a file to the
number of SPACES (ASCII 32) necessary to create tabular
columns at the specified print positions. Parameter (X)
converts TAB STOPS to the specified number of ASCII SPACES.
These parameters are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
The general format for PCFILTER is-
PCFILTER [d:]filename[.ext][-Optionxxx]
where -Wx sets maximum line width
-Rx selects replacement ASCII code
-Ex specifies output file extension
-Tx sets tab stop positions
-Xx specifies tab stop SPACE expansion
-N no filter of ASCII 128-159
-S no repeat spaces
-Lx specifies maximum output file size
-D no blank lines or extra line feeds
PCFILTER will now filter any size input file as long as there
is enough room for output on the default drive. Output files
are limited to a maximum of approximately 63K (or less with
the -L option). Any additional output files are named
TOOBIG1.PRN, TOOBIG2.PRN, etc.
For example, 'PCFILTER IBMSIG.DOC -W80 -R42 -ETXT -X4'
creates the output file IBMSIG.TXT on the default drive with
a maximum line length of 80 characters, ASCII 0-31 and
128-159 filtered and replaced with ASCII 42 (*), and all
tabs replaced with 4 SPACES.
'PCFILTER B:IBMSIG -T6 -N' creates the output file IBMSIG.PRN
on the default drive, with a maximum line length ot 132
characters, ASCII 0-31 filtered and replaced with ASCII 32
(SPACE), and all tabs replaced with spaces to allow tabular
column printing every 6 print positions.
'PCFILTER C:K7NTV.TXT -l58000 -d -s' creates the output file
K7NTV.PRN on the default drive with blank lines and extra
linefeeds deleted, extra spaces removed and the maximum size
of the output file(s) restricted to 58K. For example, if
K7NTV.TXT had a file size of 128k, three output files would
be generated, K7NTV.PRN(58K), TOOBIG1.PRN(58K), and
TOOBIG2.PRN(12K).
Using PCFILTER with LOTUS 1-2-3
LOTUS 1-2-3 makes a very nice editor when used with PCFILTER
files. First, create a 'dummy' .WKS file that specifies your
printer output format. For instance, this .WKS file will
have the page length, printer control codes, and optional
header or footer information specified (for example, use
'@|DATA TRANSFER FILE|PAGE #' as a header and you will get
nicely formatted pages with date and page number at the top
of every page). File Retrieve this .WKS file, then use File
Import to import your PCFILTER file to the upper left corner
of your blank .WKS file. Then edit the file with /WDR, F2,
etc., and print the file. Be sure to NOT use the '-N' option
since Lotus 1-2-3 File Import Text only looks at the lower 7
bits and ASCII 128-159 must therefore be filtered out.

The first 40 lines (ending with CR/LF) specify the text for each of the
40 messages. THESE MUST BE THE FIRST 40 RECORDS OF THE FILE!!!! Note
that a CR/LF sequence can be inserted into the transmit buffer after
each message string by entering "##" at the end of the string. The
strings are limited to 126 characters.
The 41st record is your call.
The 42nd record is your name.
The 43rd record is your QTH.
The 44th record is the communications port for your serial card.
The 45th record is your 3 letter time zone abbreviation. Note-if you
wish to keep time in UTC, boot up your system with UTC day and time.
Message strings 3,4,5,9 and 10 are actually "dummy messages".
Message string 3 is the other station's call (Alt-C).
Message string 4 is the other station's name (Alt-N).
Message string 5 is the other station's QTH (Alt-Q).
Message string 9 is the other stations call, name, qth DE your call,
name, qth. Example-If you are K7NTV, PAT, in SELAH, WA and have
entered the other stations call, name, qth with Alt C,N,Q, (K6XYZ, DON,
PALO ALTO, CA) then message string 9 is -
K6XYZ K6XYZ " DON " PALO ALTO, CA DE K7NTV K7NTV " PAT " SELAH, WA
SELAH, WA
Message string 10 is the current day and time.
Messages are entered as follows-
Message 1-10 Keys F1-F10
Message 11-20 Keys Uppercase F1-F10
Message 21-30 Keys Ctrl F1-F10
Message 31-40 Keys Alt F1-F10
COMMAND KEY OPERATION
