Maybe make them pay for re-entering and Indeed! Actually, my first reaction was that a destructive trojan horse program is an act of vandalism. On deeper consideration, it is much worse. Perhaps it is the digital equivalent of a letter-bomb. Reasoning: o it can be devastating in destructive potential to the unfortunate user o it can go off when you least expect it o an innocent person (like the mailman) probably handed it to you o the perpetrator can cover his tracks very well There are a couple of major differences: o it can proliferate, injuring more than just the intended victim o these guys probably had no single victim in mind Restitution is one thing, but this crime needs more than just that. Sadly, the perpetrators will probably never be found, so there is little use in brewing up suitable punishment. 3-Sep-85 06:21:48-MDT,1081;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Tue 3 Sep 85 06:21:39-MDT Received: from brl-aos.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a009602; 3 Sep 85 7:21 EDT Received: from simtel20.arpa by AOS.BRL.ARPA id a019822; 31 Aug 85 3:22 EDT Date: Sat 31 Aug 85 01:21:41-MDT From: Ron Fowler Subject: ANSI terminal standard X3.64 To: info-cpm@BRL.ARPA cc: protocols@rutgers.ARPA, info-modem7@SIMTEL20.ARPA, info-ibmpc@USC-ISIB.ARPA Message-ID: <12139444757.15.RFOWLER@SIMTEL20.ARPA> Does anyone know where I might find a copy of the ANSI X3.64 spec, pref- erably on the net somewhere (and preferably, available for FTP)?

He needs chi square, analasys of variance, Pearson's coefficient, one-way and two-way T tests, as well as the simpler computations (mean, standard deviation, and the like). The ability to present the statistical data is important, but the ease of editing data is vital. Any ideas on which product(s) I should recommend? Please respond by mail.

The sources and binaries have been posted to SIMTEL20, and are also available on disk from the author. Filename Type Bytes CRC SIMTEL20 directory MICRO: PACKT100.LBR.1 BINARY 275584 5E49H The changes since the last such posting, version 9.3, are summarized below in an extract from the NOTES.TNC file. For those who have not seen this system before, a brief description: The W0RLI MailBox and GateWay is a system which runs on a Xerox 820 computer and which operates on Amateur Packet Radio via one or two TAPR TNCs (or clones). It also runs with TNC-2s (W3IWI is running one). The W0RLI system is running at over 75 sites in some number of countries and makes up the majority of the packet mail forwarding system. It is also used for gatewaying between local packet areas and long haul links on HF, or to nearby nets on other VHF/UHF bands. For a more complete description, see NOTES.TNC. Hank is not on ARPANET or Usenet. I will be glad to relay comments and questions to him. If you want the distribution on disk, send a self-addressed stamped 8" SSSD disk (in re-usable mailer) to Hank at his callbook address. Two disks if you want the sources as well. To reduce the load on Hank, I will do the same under the same conditions. I am also good in the Callbook. 73, Bob, K1BC ARPANET: CLEMENTS@BBN Usenet: {ihnp4, decvax, linus, ...}!bbncca!clements [Extract of NOTES.TNC follows] W0RLI MailBox and GateWay Version 10.0 Changes and additions since version 9.9 are: Added Exclude user if has illegal call.

It has an identical user-interface to MDM7xx with command extensions that you can OPTIONALLY use (you could continue to use the commands you already know until you learn more about it). Wouldn't you find it much easier, for instance, to tell MEX something like GET TOADBIOS.ASM and have it automatically send out the command to your host to start the transfer and then additionally tell itself to R TOADBIOS.ASM? This is easy to do with MEX's READ files! I have another that I use with RCPM transfers that lets me say: GETL SAP44 SAP44.COM which automatically sends out to the other end: XMODEM L SAP44 SAP44.COM to extract that file from SAP44.LBR and then it tells MEX: R SAP44.COM It lets me automatically dial a list of phone numbers, dynamically load key strings, phone numbers (with optional baud rate specification as a part of the phone number list), send out complex automatic logins, do BYE at the end of a session, etc. It's like having SUBMIT inside MDM7! --Keith 3-Sep-85 08:40:43-MDT,5070;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Tue 3 Sep 85 08:40:28-MDT Received: from brl-aos.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id ab09643; 3 Sep 85 7:23 EDT Received: from simtel20.arpa by AOS.BRL.ARPA id a026932; 2 Sep 85 22:37 EDT Date: Saturday, 31 August 1985 22:33-MDT Message-ID: Sender: Bob Clements From: Bob Clements To: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA Subject: WA8DED v 0.91 firmware for TAPR TNC-1 available ReSent-From: KPETERSEN@SIMTEL20.ARPA ReSent-To: Info-Cpm@BRL.ARPA ReSent-Date: Mon 2 Sep 1985 20:36-MDT This message announces the posting of version 0.91 of the WA8DED firmware for the TAPR TNC-1.

It is NOT an upgrade of the TAPR code. It is a completely new implementation of the AX.25 protocol, both the current version 2.0 and the older 1.x version supported by the normal TAPR code. It also supports up to four simultaneously open connections on one TNC. And it has a "host friendly" mode, which is intended to simplify the interfacing of the TNC to a Bulletin Board or other computer system. It has noticeably fewer protocol bugs than the TAPR code, and a much more informative Monitor mode. The command interface is NOT the same as the TAPR TNC code. It is therefore not just an improvement for your TNC, but a complete change of the interface. So you might not want it if you (or your computer) are used to the standard interface. The files posted are: This message, TNCDED.MSG; The documentation file, TNCDED.DOC; and the binary of the code itself, in Intel Hex format, in TNCDED.HEX. The code occupies two 2764 EPROMs (actually about 1.2 EPROMs - plenty of space left in the second one). The EPROMs reside at C000 and E000 of the TNC, sockets U11 and U12 respectively. If you need to manipulate this file with a CP/M DDT, remember to use an offset with the I command so that you don't overwrite your DDT, BDOS and BIOS. Put C000 through DFFF into the EPROM for U11, and put E000 through FFFF into the EPROM for U12. The code and documentation are copyrighted 1985 by Ronald Raikes, WA8DED.

Both switched virtual call and permanent virtualy call modes of operation are defined. This specification covers DTE and DCE operation when a packet switched network is accessed through a circuit switched or dedicated connection. It also includes the additional packet layer procedures necessary for two DTEs to communicate directly (i.e., without an intervening packet switched network) over dedicated or circuit switched connection. [Keith: this is the much-talked-about "error-free terminal protocol" now supported by TYMNET. It is an interesting alternative to MICROCOM's "MNP" protocol which you must buy a new modem to get (and which requires the "other end" to also have this type modem).

Joe found the hardware bug, and contacted CCS; they acknowledged that they knew about it and took Joe's fix. However, this information never got any widespread distribution so here it is: The CCS 2422 disk controller has a problem switching the 1Mhz and 2Mhz oscillator inputs to the WD179X controller; this appears to the user as an occasional lockup of the board when both 5" and 8" drives are active. The only way out of this condition is to reboot the system (often not a very promising alternative). The problem is that the standard board switches freqs on the wrong edge of the clock. This can be remedied as follows: 1) Isolate the clocks to U38 (pins 3 and 11) so that they are no longer clocked by the RCLK signal, but make sure that there is still a path to U8 pin 26 from U18 pin 9. On the Rev B baords (and possibly others) this can be easily done by cutting an etch below U38 where the signals to pins 3 and 11 combine and go through the board. By making the cut at the correct place, you can reduce the number of necessary jumpers to two. 2) Run the 1Mhz signal from U15 pin 12 through a spare inverter at U28 pin 9 (or any other spare inverter) and take the output from U28 pin 8 to U38 pins 3 and 11 (the clock inputs just isolated). Since this mod requires a little cutting and pasting on the PC board, it is not for the weak at heart, and neither Alpha Systems nor myself (Mike Niswonger) can be responsible for any damage done to the system by improperly done mods. This mod has been running on at least three systems for anywhere from 2 years to 3 months, with no known problems. For further information on CCS S-100 boards, drop a note to CNISWONGERill be glad to share any experiences both good and bad. In addition, I will try and act as a clearinghouse for any other contributed CCS bug notes and fixes, since we seem to have been abandoned by the company.

I have a quarrel with whatever medium level language it is written in (at least the CP/M implementation). It seems that the stack is mismanaged so that, should your system run with interrupts enabled, MIX won't work (and other software using the same language,I assume). Seems most likely that the stack pointer is being manipulated via arithmetic and that POPd values are assumed to remain valid. Other possiblity is that small stacks are allocated and interrupts cause these to overflow. Some other explanation? Whatever, MIX is unusable on my system because of interference with interrupts. I am curious what langauge is involved so that I don't waste my money buying it. Other comments about MIX are that it is reasonably powerful. I got it to behave like Magic Wand (my favorite editor) and its macro capability seems very nice (especially for the price). It is, however, VERY slow and VERY large (medium level languages again).

I don't remember the details, as I was turned off by the idea of running 110 volts onto a PC board. There was also an article by Ciarcia in Byte that described a circuit to throw ultrasonic pulses at the BSR controller box. But I think the method of choice now (at least I chose it) is the Heath GD-1530. It takes an EIA serial line (transmit side only) and reads commands like "A1 AON" to turn on module 1 of house A. This was not initially the method of choice because it was ridiculously expensive at $250. But it was reduced to $99 a while ago, which makes it much more reasonable. I guess 8748s got cheaper. /Rcc 3-Sep-85 12:45:36-MDT,1144;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Tue 3 Sep 85 12:45:25-MDT Received: from brl-tgr.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a010746; 3 Sep 85 13:56 EDT Received: from usenet by TGR.BRL.ARPA id a024105; 3 Sep 85 13:48 EDT From: "Richard L.

Any ANSI standard can be ordered through ANSI's order department, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018. I would suggest that you try to get them on the telephone and get current ordering and price information. They tend to want payment in advance, except for ANSI members. ANSI standards that have been approved as Federal Info Processing Standards (FIPS) are often available to government activities through NBS, I think, and that route might be faster and cheaper. If I recall, X3.64 is now under revision, partially to move it closer to an international standard that used it as a starting point and got ahead. So you might try to get the name of the corresponding ISO standard from the order department and order it as well. The official name of X3.64, which you may need, is "Additional Controls for Use with American National Standard Code for Information Interchange". ANSI standards are not, in general, available in machine readable form. While most of the technical committees developing the things typically have them that way, we have been trying intermittently for some years to get a policy statement from ANSI on the release of machine-readable copies; none has been forthcoming. X3.64 is the responsibility of technical committee X3L2, Codes and Character Sets. As a last resort, the chair of that committee is Thomas Hastings of DEC, 617/493-8109 - he would have current status information on whatever is going on. 4-Sep-85 06:32:40-MDT,1263;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Wed 4 Sep 85 06:32:33-MDT Received: from usc-isi.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a023881; 4 Sep 85 7:58 EDT Date: 4 Sep 1985 01:34:19 EDT Subject: Little Board Software update From: Rex Buddenberg To: info-cpm@AMSAA.ARPA cc: BUDDENBERGRA@USC-ISI.ARPA For you Little Board owners, AMPRO has a software update on the street.

This program will set the disk system in a CP/M Version 2.x operating system to read/only. Once this program is executed the only way to return the disk system to read/write is to do a system reset (cold boot). This "safety" is intended to prevent untested software from changing any data on any disk. This is useful even if you know the software under test needs to write to the disk as you can view the signon, menu, and any prompts until it does try to write to the disk. For example, if one of the menu options is to display a directory, you can suspect that something is wrong if this option tries to write to instead of read from the disk. If (and if when) a program does try to write to the disk a Bdos R/O error message will be displayed and the program under test aborted. ... A more attractive test environment may be achieved with the use of a ram drive that has a program to "install" itself. If the READONLY program is executed before the ram drive install program, then the ram drive will remain read/write while all the other disk drives in the system will be read/only protected. This would allow programs to write to the ram disk for testing, still protecting data on the rest of the disks in the system. ...

My problem is that the C86 compiler produces object modules for the Digital Research Linker and the Fortran compiler produces object modules for the Intel linker. The Intel linker came with the Fortran compiler, but the C86 compiler did not come with a linker (I didn't expect it to). Now I would like to link C86 programs with Fortran subroutines. It seems that what I need is some sort of translator to create Intel-type object modules from Digital Research object modules. Does such an animal exist?? If so, where might I get it?? I realize that I can just go out and buy the Digital Research linker, but that would still leave me with incompatible object modules. Another possibility would be a translator from the C86 object modules to the Intel format object modules. The C86 compiler produces its own variety of object module, which is then translated to the Digital Research format.

NOT true! This program REMOVES some of the BIOS write code, so unless the "trojan horse" knew what bios you had and what address it was running at, could not replace it. The ONLY thing that will restore your os to R/W is a COLD boot, not even a warm boot as this only restores the Bdos and CCP. As the military does, the only true security is physical separation. True, but with source to your os and some patches you can do almost as well. My system allows me to trap any given track(s) and A) abort B) allow to proceed C) devert to log file. Of course this is of no help if it is a multi-user system and someone else gets in to do the dammage. Phil Burton Xerox Corp. If anyone after reading the DOC and ASM file thinks there are holes in this program, I would love to hear from you. Most of the replies I've gotten so far are from people that didn't look at the files and jumped to conclusions about what this program does. There ARE more elegant ways of creating protection, but none SO simple and also not possible to create a generic version that would run on ALL 2.x systems. This program was created for all those people that don't have source to their os, or that may not be able to patch it themself if they did. -Paul 6-Sep-85 08:48:43-MDT,622;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Fri 6 Sep 85 08:48:33-MDT Received: from usc-isi.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id a016193; 6 Sep 85 7:32 EDT Date: 5 Sep 1985 20:40:09 EDT Subject: Arf Arf protection From: Rex Buddenberg To: grupp@MIT-MC.ARPA cc: info-cpm@AMSAA.ARPA, BUDDENBERGRA@USC-ISI.ARPA This is great.

The modular jack does not connect to public telephones. I found one device that overcomes this problem (and it needs to be advertized more). It is the acoustic adapter that 3M sells with their WhisperWriter portable terminals. Model 1490 acoustic coupler connects the 3M teleprinter to public phone lines through a telephone handset. It is recommended for applications where direct connection to phone lines is either nott practical or not desirable. The device consists of a pair of rubber cups, a modular jack, and a battery powerred audio amplifier set. You simply run a 3-foot modular line from it to your PC, and put the pay telephone's handset in it. Price is less than $80, it works with 300 and 1200 baud internal modems, and should work at 2400. In the Silcon Valley, the distributer is 3M Data Systems (408)866-8811. ------- 7-Sep-85 06:33:26-MDT,1183;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Sat 7 Sep 85 06:33:21-MDT Received: from brl-tgr.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id aa04654; 7 Sep 85 8:08 EDT Received: from usenet by TGR.BRL.ARPA id a009446; 7 Sep 85 5:46 EDT From: Chuck McManis Newsgroups: net.micro.cpm Subject: Re: CMOS Z80s ?!

Be sure that when you use DDT to overlay the proper HEX file on the various MDM7xx.COM programs that you SAVE the proper amount of Memory to the .COM file. As MDM7xx has grown the SAVE size has also increased, so don't use the SAVE size in the overlay unless you are using it on the the identified MDM7xx program.

The unit from Radio Shack is *NOT* controlled by an RS232 port! The unit connects to the Color Computer's CASSETTE TAPE interface, and there is *NO* documentation on how the CoCo communicates with the box. Th link is bi-directional, meaning the controller box can download it's contents to the CoCo for updating, and once finished, the CoCo uploads the updated information back into the controller. Once the controller has been programmed with events it may be disconncted from the CoCo and runs by itself.

I already know about how to address it, but would like more info on the "bank" switches and the jumper at location V, also. I am also looking for an explanation of what the jumpers on the Imsai SIO board do. I would love to upgrade my speed on ser port a to 9600 baud +, and info on the ser port b would be verrry handy indeed, for modem uses. Further, I can't seem to get a program that will work on a PMMI MM-103. Any help on what the DIP switches on it do, and how to configure, for example, MDM7, would be handy. I would love a chance to get a program that works on a system using the SS NorthStar floppy drive system. I would be more than willing to discuss buying/sending out a floppy to get the info copied onto. Also, any suggestions on how to expand my CP/M to handle 52 to 56K. I seem to be able to go to 52K, but I am not sure if the 56K interferes with the PMMI. Expanding to 60K seems impossible, as the N* Disk controller starts at E000, going through at least E900.

Updates and revisions (in reverse order) v11.7 09/08/85 - Added patch so MBBS used to enter upload descriptions into message file. (MBYE40 and MBBS40 needed for this.) Also added Murray Simsolo's XMDM116.FIX and a variation of Mark Motley's fix to clear the WRTLOC flag when the "help" message is displayed so the user can abort it and his TOSEXIT equate to make the TOS display on exit an option.. Also fixed so that instead of time on system being reset, max time allowed on is adjusted instead if a user uploads a file. Added LOGSYS equate to pick the old LOG.SYS filename as new MBBS will work with XMODEM.LOG as well as LOG.SYS now.. Added DWNTAG option so files tagged with "F3" status attribute can be downloaded regardless of access privileges. Fixed bugs introduced into v11.6 by Paul Trania (he eliminated needed WRTLOC clear in DESCRIB optional code). NOTE: Read MURPHY'S LAWS re: computer program bug fixes. (IF NOT TURKEY) (Although I didn't like all of Steve's "fixes", I was trying to integrate his updates with John Hoffman. The old NOT X and NOT Y might have been more confusing than NOT (X or Y) but either works... But (NOT X or Y) is NOT the same thing.. Changed OK2400 comments to reflect change in code by pst..) Added code so ^X, pause, ^X will abort an upload. -- Kim Levitt v11.6 - 08/11/85 - Fixed bugs introduced between 112 and 115. Added Kevin Murphy's changes to allow BYEBDOS systems to gain time on system (note: must be using BYE338 for this to work properly. If you're running BYE337, please upgrade to v338, as v338 corresponds to the documentation and changes the way one BYEBDOS call function works). -- pst v11.5 - 08/10-85 - Fixed a bug in the "turkey patch" that could cause double entries in the log file for uploads or worse. Also, eliminated "thru packet " in message to console that is unnecessary and was leaving last packet number on console screen at end of downloads if a file is sent which requires small packets at the end. Also I fixed the version number. (this is #11.5 not 1.15 or 115) Incorporated code from John Hoffman's 11.3 update and Steve Sanders' 11.4 update to bring out one version with all bugs fixed and features together again (I hope). Made some of Steve's feature patches optional. (DSPFNAM for display file name option, MBYE37 equate renamed to MBYETOS.) --Kim Levitt v11.4 - 08/10/85 - Steve Sanders' version. (Did not include v11.3 updates.) LUXMOD equate added so XMODEM can be configured to work as a LUXMODEM program. XM-FNAM2.ADD patch added to display selected file name on downloads and uploads so user can verify system didn't get garbage for the filename. Fixed TAGLBR option to work correctly.

Not very convenient, but it can be made to work. 1: Format the text to the width of a column. 2: Change to Column move mode -- ^K^N 3: mark the top left corner of the text that is to go in the second column. ^K^B 4: mark the bottom right corner of the '2nd' column text. ^K^K (The block of text should now be highlighted (or have ^B down the left and ^K down the right, depending on your hardware.) 5: place the cursor at the top left corner of the 2nd column destination area 6: execute the move ^K^V 7: delete the blank lines left in the source area. 8: repeat steps 3..7 as needed for additional columns. 9: Save your stuff regularly. This procedure crashes WS with some regularity on my Kaypro (WS Ver 3.something); problem may be resolved if later releases are out. 10: DO NOT USE JUSTIFIED PRINTING IF YOUR PRINTER ATTEMPTS TO MICRO-JUSTIFY THE LINES. Off hand, the only other solution (inexpensive!) might be to find a second hand dedicated word processor someone might be willing to donate. (I know Phillips Micom 2000's supportted automatic multicolumn formatting, and XEROX 860s are (were) supposed to but I never used it there. The other 10-15 dedicated wp's I used to have access to couldn't do it.) I'm not familiar with any of the other WP programs in the cpm/ms/pcdos area. I never found any of them to have enough improvement, if any, over WS to be worth the cost/effort to learn another. In the UN*X area, Fortune's FORTUNE:WORD (tm) has auto multicolumn capability, but from what you indicated, it would be too expensive, unless you could get a donation.

I used to be at a BITNET site (U of Chicago), and BITNET is pretty much a home-rolled network based on IBM's NJE (Network Job Entry) protocol, which VM/370 supports with a product called RSCS. Administration is out of (I think) Columbia. Each site supplies a 9600 baud dedicated to the nearest node already on the network and in turn agrees to allow at least one other site to link to them. It is, in fact, a store and forward system.You can, however, shuttle interactive commands around the network, so TSO and CMS users can interactively talk to each other (though it can be S L O W . . .). There are at least 500 sites on BITNET, I think more. It is limited to educational institutions. The name Ira Fuchs comes to me as the network originator and administrator. 16-Sep-85 07:14:21-MDT,1567;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from AMSAA by SIMTEL20.ARPA with TCP; Mon 16 Sep 85 07:14:15-MDT Received: from brl-tgr.arpa by AMSAA.ARPA id aa01536; 16 Sep 85 7:50 EDT Received: from usenet by TGR.BRL.ARPA id a008053; 16 Sep 85 6:16 EDT From: Jeff Woolsey Newsgroups: net.micro.cpm Subject: Re: Z8E - at last! a free Z80 debugger for CP/M Message-ID: <798@umn-cs.UUCP> Date: 12 Sep 85 22:25:56 GMT To: info-cpm@AMSAA.ARPA OK, I've tried to get Z8E running on my machine (I mean I'm real tired of DDT), but the developers of Z8E forgot one thing: Z80s have something called interrupt mode 1. This is the quick and dirty interrupt mode which causes a jump to 38H. Z8E (and unpatched versions of DDT) use restart 7 (which also jumps to 38H) as the breakpoint mechanism, which on my system (and presumably others, since Digital Research issued a patch for DDT to use a different restart vector) is the address of the interrupt handler. No good. I tried to change which restart vector it uses in the source, but there aren't any wonderful equates at the front of the source that would make this easy, so I had to go digging. I may have gotten them all, after a single pass through the source, but somehow I doubt it, as the program now crashes after I ask it to disassemble four instructions. Real useful.
