KP-HOST.LBR

This library contains the ASM file that is the basis of of KPBYE5,
a remote host program set up for Kaypro computers by Irv Hoff. It
is a special configuration of BYE5 for this purpose.

(Note that KPBYE5.LBR was previously released without the ASM file
and with a version of BYE.COM that does not require a password.
In this version the password [PWRQD] equate has been set to yes
and a password is required--and recommended for security.

The library includes, in addition to this ASM file, a compiled 
version of it called BYE.COM which has a default password of DDT.
(This password can be changed to any other desired. Go into the
ASM file with a non-doc editor, search for DDT and replace it,
then reassemble and load.) 

There is also a version of BYE included that does not require a
password. This is called BYE-NPW.COM (for No Password). If you
chose to use this version, rename it to BYE.COM and the other
version to BYE-PW (for Password).

The version of KMD included supports the 1K protocol and also
the batch mode. 1k protocol is automatic. To invoke the batch mode,
use KMD SB FILENAME.EXT and on the other end, all that is needed
is RB.

This program works perfectly as a remote host. It can be used for
two friends to communicate by computer, exchange conversion on
the keyboard, or to exchange software and texts. It works by
first calling up BYE in A0, then turning on the modem. A short
file called welcome should be created with an editor, which
is automatically run on logging in. Note that after logging off
with BYE, the program disconnects in about 30 seconds and then
reloads itself and waits for the next call.

The program can also be used to call into one computer from a
laptop, or from the computer at work to the one at home or
vice-versa. In these cases, where the host computer will be
on for an extended period, it is best to use the version of 
BYE that requires a password.

For those who have the Advent Turborom, which automatically blanks
the screen after about 10 minutes of non-use, the program NOBLANK.COM
is included. Run this before running BYE and the screen will not
blank until the computer is reset.

I have taken the liberty of adding several useful BBS utilities here, 
to let this program function as much as possible like a mini-BBS (
although it does not have the security of a regular BBS). These include 
LUX.COM, CHAT.COM, and TYPE.COM. (If LT.COM is used, rename to TYPE.COM). 
Rename SD.COM to DIR (the program expects to find this.) Also 
rename KPLUX22.COM to LUX.COM. In order to reset itself, BYE looks 
for the program name BYE.COM. The utility CAP command is also
included form KP-I/OCAP.LBR. It is a capture program that works,
but not perfectly. If someone knows of a better capture program,
please add it to this library and make a note of that.

For those with other computers that would like to get this system
up and running, replace the Kaypro insert in the ASM file with
the proper one, set a password and assemble.

Irv Hoff has done a wonderful job putting this remote host
together. Many thanks, Irv!
