The following two programs are sufficient to network various machines in a
simple fashion:

1) The SOFTWIRE terminal emulation program

2) XMODEM file transfer program

SOFTWIRE was designed to execute under RSX11M without loosing characters at
1200 baud. It will handle higher baud rates if the remote machine supports
XON-XOFF protocol. It has file transfer capability and can send a break
character. It has been used to converse with RSX, IAS, UNIX, CMS, and
DIALOG.

These programs have been tested under RSX11M V4.1 and RSX11M+ V2.1.
They may be rebuilt using the DECUS C compiler system and the RSX extensions
(CX.OLB).

Note that there are only two files in this system, SOFTWIRE.C and
XMODEM.C. RUNOFF user manuals can be extracted from these files
with the CTOOL GETRNO.

Be sure to read the comments at the top of these two files if you
have any questions about installation or want additional information.
