Ok I see that the Grfdrv article is not here - I guess back then I only had an
account on GEnie - I'll get it up by the weekend then.  It was sparked by the
25-line text zap found in SuperComm's docs and all due respects paid therein.
I've had a few gripes about my copyrighting these articles - well the record
shows on Delphi that way too many things are plagerized and the patches are
never recorded in the database themselves, which makes other users ask the very
same questions every time the subject comes up around the world.  (Well here on
CIS, too, it's that way but more organized.  :-)  So to stop the abuse, I wrote
up everything we had, did all my own research (again credit is "paid" where it
was due - I do own all of y'all's books, not a photocopied one!), thought up
how to get those other modes working (yep a rewrite was needed) and I spit the
article out in hopes y'all would read it before the upgrades were finalized -
1.5 years ago!  So that's why I do them seemingly legal-sleeze things.  If I
mention something as specific as "I hope the authors of the L-II upgrade will
read this", well that's kinda giving y'all the authority to use it right then &
there - or so I thought!  :-)

As for the stat calls - the ACPDS7.TXT file mushes thru what we've been able to
accomplish so far with our Acia driver - I have been told by Ron Bihler that
Bill Brady will let us share it now.  I'm still waiting for the responses cuz
what we still need help on is already explained in that article (CIS and Delphi
both have it).  Again it's 'd cuz of the willful plagerizing that goes on
and I need to keep track of what we are all talking about when the help (e.g.
you & whomever) does come.  In order to support this driver, there is a
customization pgm to set the size of the send & recv buffers (separately). It
is *known* to cure all RiBBS ills, the y-reg problem with C-language pgms, and
the like, plus I can pretty darn well keep up with 9600 uncompressed I/O so
long as the host pauses at a full screen.  It still won't do 1k Xmodem
