LISACom 1.7

LISACom 1.7 for the Apple Lisa Office System — verified on a Lisa 2/10 (LOS 3.1, WiRSa WiFi modem) against The Apple Lisa BBS.

Working volume — XModem > Use Volume lists the mounted disks (boot, external ProFile, floppy) with free blocks; pick one and receives, List Files, the Send browse list and Delete a File use it. Starts as the disk LISACom runs from; the welcome banner names it.

Hang Up really hangs up — +++ / ATH with Hayes guard times, so a WiFi modem drops the call. Dialing a bookmark while connected hangs up first instead of typing ATDT into the board.

Files land where you can find them — received files go to the working volume and the pane says where. Save-as accepts a bare name, a full -vol-name, or a path missing its leading hyphen. List, browse and Delete use full paths (Delete previously acted on the boot disk whatever it listed).

Send from anywhere — a bare -vol- at "File to send" browses that volume; YMODEM sends carry the bare file name to the PC.

Bookmarks travel with the tool — BBSLIST.TEXT is read and written beside LISACom; with no file, a built-in LISA BBS entry is offered. Starter list of eleven boards included.

After a download the pane tells you how to get back to the session.

• LISACOM_1_7.dc42 — LISACom 1.7 + BBSLIST.TEXT (MD5 918b46ae67befd0cea9f0a93c8fb6d5d)
• LISACOM_1_7_ATKINSONPOINT_1_1.dc42 — LISACom 1.7 + LISA Slide Show 1.1 + nine starter slides + BBSLIST.TEXT (MD5 5e690df510db43a54ca55a09ec603a27)

Both written on a Lisa 2/10. Duplicate the tool from the floppy to your disk; copy BBSLIST.TEXT beside it or just add bookmarks from the desktop.

Building — all four LMX sources (MAIN, GLOBALS, ALERTS and, new in the repo, the MAKE exec) plus fmt_text.py; see README "Building from source" — the program sits a few hundred bytes under the linker's 32K globals limit, and the three sources must always go together. fix_dc42.py fills in DiskCopy 4.2 header checksums that some imaging tools leave at zero.
