The +original source code was marked as "Freeware," and we'll assume, without +any additional information or restrictions explicitly set, that the code +is public domain at this time. + +This modification of the library includes minor changes to allow +compiling with Microsoft C 5 or higher and Turbo C. It also provides an +additional function, F_NBPeek(), for performing a peek on the input +stream in a non-blocking manner. Finally, this version allows the +application to set a flag to ignore carrier detection, useful if you're +speaking with a peer that does not provide such signals. + +The included Makefile works delightfully well with Turbo C's make +utility. It also suprisingly will work with Microsoft's lobotomized +make utility shipped with MSC 5.1. + +Please feel free to copy and share this library. + +Jeff Armstrong +October 5, 2015 + -- cgit v1.2.3
