CommTools Adds Support for Visual Foxpro v8.0
(Dallas, TX USA) Magna Carta Software today announced that CommTools for
Visual FoxPro is now compatible with Microsoft's newly released Visual
FoxPro 8. CommTools is the premier tool for adding support for serial
communications to a Visual FoxPro application. Visual FoxPro 8 is the latest
release of Microsoft's most powerful database programming tool. "Our typical
user is a professional programmer" said Magna Carta Software President
Andrew Chalk. "The application might be file transfer between business
centers using an error-correcting protocol, interfacing to a point of sale
device such as a barcode reader or providing emulation of a mainframe
terminal on a PC".
CommTools allows the Visual FoxPro programmer to add support for a large
number of communications capabilities including:
File transfer using any of a large number of protocols: ZMODEM, Kermit (with
long packet support), YMODEM and XMODEM
Terminal emulation of VT100, VT220, VT52, TV910, TV912, TV925, ANSI-SYS and
ANSI X3.64
Modem support for all industry standard modems
Low-level control of the serial port and flow control
CommTools for Visual FoxPro now supports all version of Visual FoxPro from
version 5.0 through to the latest, version 8.0. The product is sold directly
by Magna Carta Software and through leading resellers.
