Thank you Josh, WooHoo! First had to move my ol’ LapLink cable from the HP to the MBP as my other 9-to-9 pin cable I was using was not, after all, null-modem; even with all my adapters attaching it to the M100 and USB-to-RS232. Restarted TS-DOS on the M100 and checked FILES. Had created a file

Hi Josh, For heaven’s sakes! Yes, had the folder open to see, but expected something as would be a folder by the name of the .deb. I did a least know it was Debian. Yes, there are three files actually. “debian-binary" as well. Rest it is. Too tired to remember even AT&T SVR32. Thanks again, G

Josh, Feel free to re-package it. My only warning is that the supporting CO files (DOS100/DOS200/DOSNEC/SAR100/SAR200) and the dictionary (mcomm.dic) need to be in the same directory as the python code. This allows UR-II and SARDINE to load those files regardless of what directory you are brows

Thank you all for the your wisdom and information. I am finding the Mid-2012 MBP is indeed a great buy. I did upgrade it when received it with 16gb of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Not difficult at all. Catalina was already installed on the HDD so I had cloned the HDD to the SSD as an external first. Was

I just built dlplus from bkw's master branch and while it did emit some compiler warnings, it built and runs out of the box perfectly on macOS Catalina 10.15. I'll try mComm after dinner. I unpacked the .deb back when it was released and have it lying around somewhere.

All 3 of LaddieAlpha, the python version of mComm, and dlplus probably work. I have used Laddie and dlplus on macos myself, so those 2 I can say for sure. I built dlplus on macos a year or two ago and it worked normally. I use macports for the gcc/gnu environment. I don't like brew but it probabl

LaddieAlpha and DLPlus are the options. I've never found installing Mono on OSX to be a big deal but I haven't done it for a while. The advantage of LaddieAlpha is it's already built and you don't need to set up a compiler. Guess I should try compiling and running it on .net core. That's cross p

Greg, There is no native version of mComm for macOS. There is a Python version that works under Linux but I have no idea if that would actually work under maxOS. I think LaddieAlpha is your best bet. Kurt On Wed, Oct 14, 2020, at 8:27 AM, Greg Swallow wrote: > All, > > Most of my old, Core2Qu
