- Ruputer⇔Macintosh communication program

I got Ruputer Pro with the present when CW Pro4 which was the program development environment of Macintosh was bought (thank you very muched for Mr. BUG). The personal computer which uses it by me is Macintosh though having gotten it is good. The sleep this in environment in which the application which circulates by the backup and the Internet of the file on Ruputer cannot be installed. The present is a strange story as for Ruputer which cannot be used with Mac though CW for Mac was bought. I wonder whether presented it in the meaning "? when my making it if [it] wants to use Ruputer".

SII also has not only Windows but also the Mac user and UNIX user in the world. Then, does not social confidence go up if [it] becomes when there is Tool for Mac though it is likely not to become business, too because the user is also few in case of Mac?

Ruputer was connected with Macintosh because I was also simple and the application for Macintosh which sent and received the file was developed.

[It] failed. The link of ver1.0.1 had been mistaken. It is lately safe.
RuputerCom ver1.0.1 is here.

Content of compression file

(1) The main body of RuptuerCom ver1.01. 
(2) RupCom101 explanation. The manual of easy doc. 
(3) The content displayed when the help command is used with the main body of RuputerComV101.help. 
(4) Folder (5) address book necessary for using Backup backup command. Analysis of ADR. Mc program (6) note pad which converts data of mc address book into CSV. Analysis of TXM. Mc program (7) Yamanote line which converts data of mc note pad into CSV. MMP file (extra) in MMP Yamanote line route chart

If mc is not used because the program of mc(matrix calculator) concerning 5 and 6, it is not possible to execute it. *** The content from the source <saying> appended るのでは(unknown word) it was possible to read and 思(unknown word) because an easy language however. Mc is put on same ftp as RupCom. Please be free and use it freely.

It is the above.

【ver 1.01】

To use it with Ruputer, data for the improvement of operativeness (Though the console mode even if [it] says) and Macintosh has been improved in ver1.01. The added command is as follows.

The type file is output to the console by ASCII.
The dump file is output to the console by the HEX code.
All files in backup Ruputer are backed up to Mac.
The sendPict PICT file is converted into MMP and [it] forwards it to Ruputer.
The sendText text file is forwarded to Ruputer.
The sendCSV tab district switching off data is converted into CSV and [it] forwards it to Ruputer.

To confirm the content of data in Ruputer, the type command is displayed on the console as a text. Moreover, the dump command also displays data on the console by the hexadecimal code of the hexadecimal number though the purpose is the same. The backup command makes the backup of all files in Ruputer on Macintosh. I think that (*S) can be relieved in the meaning of some guarantees though it is not when the command by which an opposite operation ((*risutoa*)) is still done is made.

The folder named Backup in which anything is not either is necessary for the same folder with RuputerCom for this backup command. I think the compression file to understand that it is when progressing.

Besides this, the all argument was added to dir and the delete command as an improvement. All the file lists in the subordinate position are displayed from the current directory when inputting as dir all. Moreover, all files in the directory specified the input as delete all can be deleted.

上の３つのコマンドと all引数の追加は操作性の向上ですが下の３つのコマンドに関しては Macintosh用のデータを Ruputerで利用することが目的です。 A common image file to Macintosh is converted into the MMP form which is the file of the image of Ruputer and the sendPict command is forwarded to Ruputer. The changing line code which is the difference with the text file of Macintosh and Ruputer is automatically converted and the sendText command is forwarded to Ruputer. The text of Macintosh can be read with TXTVIEW.EXF by doing so. The last sendCSV command is converted into the CSV(K3) form to be able to read the tab district switching off text data used with Macintosh in general with CSVVIEW.EXF for Ruputer and forwarded to Ruputer.

Yamanote line which packs it up together. MMP is a Yamanote line route chart where the PICT file was forwarded by using sendCSV. Please put it on a favorite directory in the upLoad command because the one which has already been converted.

[It] seems to schedule SII not to open the format of data (structure) to the public concerning the data of the software offered in SII like the address book and the schedule, etc.Therefore, the data of the address book and the schedule is edited on Macintosh though a story too good and it is not possible to use it at the present stage.

● HelpFile

The Help file of ver1.01 is here. It is the same as the content displayed to execute the help command while using RuputerCom.

- The transition is seen as it is.

RuputerCom is executed in the console mode which does not seem to be the Macintosh still application program. The schedule what function is a little more necessity for the application program which seems to be Macintosh (undecided) doing after [it] ascertains it.

--------- Hereafter, it is the same as ver1.00. ---------------

【 purpose 】

This program target connects Macintosh with Ruputer with the serial communications line and aims at the development of the program which executes send and receiveing the file. Ruputer is connected with Macintosh and the file is sent and received the first (massage which wants to use an interesting application program). [It] aims to achieve DOS (*opereitingukonsohru*) in the second on Macintosh (When the manual is read, dump DOS something).

The purpose at this time is in the confirmation whether communications of Macintosh and Ruputer being able to be done. A final target is in the addition of the function which send and receives the file between Macintosh and Ruputer to mc(matrix calculator). Various Ruputer control applications which have been achieved with Windows will be able to be achieved in the future maybe as mc program. However, though using it without being get tired of Ruputer in the future is a condition.

【 principle and method 】

It was possible to complete it on the weekend of ん(unknown word)-rest. Thus, the principle and the method are omitted ([It] writes too much and do not exist). Remote shell manual in RupSDK at least. Information does not suffice only by txt to program. Then, I was going to refer to the article on http://www.123.or.jp/~yuzuru/ruputer/ supplementation information (This thinks that information was more than manuals of an interesting light unskilled squid).

The program which does not seem to be Mac uses the Standard I/O function for the confirmation at this time. It is dissatisfied with the Mac user a little if [it] does.

【 operation manual 】

Let's immediately introduce the method of operating RupterCom by such a translation.

(1) Physical connection of Macintosh and Ruputer

The cable is necessary to connect PC Docking Station of Ruputer with Macintosh. The cable at hand by chance was used in me. Not being possible to direct it with the use of what is regrettable because there is no serial number in the cable. Please try variously and look. The confirmation method can confirm whether the cable can be used whether the CR+LF code sent from the Ruputer side every 0.5 seconds can be received by starting the communication software on the Macintosh side. Terminal2.2 is used in me for the confirmation.
Figure below is a state to tie suitably and to use a cable on hand and the connector. The connector at the center misappropriated the one in the communication kit of HP100LX. It might be convenient if there is eight pin ←→9 pin male for Macintosh.


(*ha*)
(*ha*)

(additional information)

I got the following reports from Mr. hometown in the under.

The communication succeeded easily. My home page was an introduced communication cable and OK here.
Mac cereal 8pin <----There are LOAS RS-232C ((*roasukompyuutah*)) conversion cable 0.1m ZR01-203 (normality) fixed price 1600 yen when having looked for with goods of the cable of > DOS/V cereal D-Sub9pin male (normality) connecting wires on the market.

Thank you very much for Mr. hometown in the under.

(2) Beginning of communication

a: Please connect Ruputer with PC Docking Station.
b: The RuptuerCom application program of Macintosh is started.
c: The console window is displayed in the Macintosh monitor.

d: The open command is input.
e: If the connected port is a modem port, one is input.
f: If the port connected oppositely is a printer port, two is input.
g: The application begins the negotiation of this input with Ruputer.
h: When the negotiation succeeds, [it] is displayed as follows.

i: [It] becomes the following displays if failing.

j: [It] fails in the negotiation like the above-mentioned if the port is mistaken.
k: *** When the negotiation succeeds, <DOS Reich> command can be used.
l: The command which can be used by this application program can be confirmed that help is input.

n: Most can be used by the sense of DOS.

o: However, the wild-card cannot be used.
p: Moreover, there is not a pipe either.
q: It is necessary to specify the file name.
r: The file in the current directory can omit passing.
s: A point different from DOS is a place with downLoad and the upLoad command.
t: The downLoad command forwards the file from Ruputer to Macintosh.
u: The upLoad command forwards the file from Macintosh to Ruputer.

v: Only the file update day becomes effective at the date of the forwarding file.

The date of the file is greatly different in Ruputer and Mac. [It] is preserved in second when 1904/01/01 was made a starting point number unsigned long integer in Mac. Therefore, some problems might occur in 2040/02/06 as for the file of Mac. On the other hand, nothing is thought in DOS, four bytes are preserved, and the year/month/day/hour/minute/second is preserved by suitably dividing the bit (It is not in an embarrassed thing in continuousness). Then, [it] converted on the (*yurias*) day which used the year/month/day/hour/minute/second from Ruputer because of heavenly phenomena once, 1904/01/01 (*yurias*) day was pulled, and [it] made it to the file date of Mac. This opposite is executed from Mac to Ruputer.

(3) End of communication

Please end by the quit command when you end the communication. It is sure to be going to become a communication error next time when ending without executing this. Please do close when you remove Ruputer from the dock station.

(4) Communication error

It is time when did not end normally by the last communication in case of occur before doing the negotiation the communication error (When another application program occasionally uses the communication port, [it] is generated). Please reboot Macintosh once in case of this.

【 use 】

This application can be freely used. Is a so-called, free wear?I cannot take the responsibility even if becoming something a strange thing by using this application program. Please use it by an individual responsibility. Please mail the impression etc. used to nishi @a kita-noken.go.jp when is.

Various software acquired by Internet is down-loaded to Ruputer and [it] uses it. At present, something wrong seems not to be found (Because only a day has passed since [it] completed it).

It is not understood whether this application program improves the version for the examination. It is not understood whether to keep using Ruputer for a long time in the future because one week after Ruputer is obtained. I think that (*S) will transplant the function of this application program to mc(matrix calculator) in the future if Ruputer was still used in 2-3 months. Do not become the operativeness of Windows maybe in mc?。
