[GreenKeys] iTTY and the Volpe USB Interface Board

[John, W9DDD]

My original send of this to the list was rejected because it contained 
an executable (the bat file).  So I've added the .txt extension to it. 
So you need to rename that one by removing the .txt part.

Hi Paul,

I'm going to attach a couple of files I used on my windows 7 laptop.
You will need to change COMM5 to whatever comm port your Volpe USB board 
gets assigned.

testfile.txt is a line of RY and a line of THE QUICK BROWN FOX.

I run it in a DOS window obviously.  It will run forever, stop with 
"control C".


I'm trying to recall how I generated a CR LF LTRS sequence in the text 
file.  Maybe the Volpe USB board took care of that?

Also depending on what editor you might use to change comm ports may do 
some strange things - plan text vs. UTF?  It probably doesn't matter 
with the bat file.
