A standard ASCII terminal as used on a Unix system can be used as a Leader Board when connected to the PC running the Display Slalom Results program via Modems or via a 'NULL' Modem cable connected between the COM Ports.

The settings for the ASCII Terminal should be:

Baud=9600

Bits=7

Stop Bit=1

Parity = Even

CR=CRLF (on terminal)

2. Slalom Display Results Program  

This program is for use alongside the main program to provide the Remote Leader Board function when entering results. As well as sending the relevant data via the COM ports it can also have the Leader Board Displayed. It could also be used in a network environment to provide a Leader Board function. It also ahs an option to send test data to the Remote leader Board at 5 second Intervals for set up testing and fault diagnosis.

3. Slalom Remote Terminal for Windows

This program is a dumb terminal program that can be used on a Windows system to display the Remote Leader Board sent from either the Slalom Event organiser for Windows main program or the Display Program for use alongside the main program to provide the Remote Leader Board function when entering results.

4. Slalom Remote Terminal for DOS

This program is a dumb terminal program that can be used on a DOS system to display the Remote Leader Board sent from the Display Program for use alongside the main program to provide the Remote Leader Board function when entering results.
The program is release as a self-extracting file that will expand onto a blank, formatted, diskette to produce a DOS Boot diskette. The boot will give the user a choice of which COM Port to use.
