SuperSlurp 1.0 by Jim Schram & Todd Courtois This is SuperSlurp, which bears only a minor resemblance to the earlier Slurp sample code by Scott "ZZ" Zimmerman. SuperSlurp receives standard tab-delimited data from a PC over MNP serial communications, and slams the data into a soup. Currently SuperSlurp is designed so that you can create new soups on the fly from data you send from the Mac. So for instance if you wish to create or add application soups, you can do this with Slurp. You may need to add some code of your own if you want to add an index or whatever to your soup. I've enclosed a sample file which dumps entries into the Names soup. This particular file is rather small, but it gives you an ide of how fast SuperSlurp can suck data into the soup. Here's the setup for using SuperSlurp as is: 1. Need a mac with the Apple Modem CTB Tool in your extensions folder. This is the CTB tool which comes with NTK. 2. Use the "macterminal setup" file to set up MacTerminal appropriately. The basic settings are: Newton Serial Connection, 57600 bps, Software error correction. You can use MacTerminal, ClarisWorks, or some other terminal emulator of your choice, or even your own Mac or PC code if it supports MNP level 5. 3. On the macterminal side, choose "Wait for Connection" 4. On the Newton side, open SuperSlurp and hit the "Receive" button 5. On the macterminal side, send the "Names Data" file using the TEXT tool, CR at line endings 6. The Newton will automatically suck down the data, using MNP to regulate the data flow (you can watch this process easily with the progress bar in MacTerminal or ClarisWorks). 7. When finished, the Newton will automatically close the connection and the Mac side will notify you that the connection has been closed. Check the Names soup -- the entries are there! You can abort the connection at any time from the Newton side. I've also included an "inspector test" file so that you can test the slurpBaseView:StuffNewEntry() method from the inspector without going through the endpoint code. This may help you debug your modified version. Notice that the strings in the inspector test file explicitly give the tab and double quote characters.
