The following has been extracted from the Rovoreed Packet Terminal
Archive, PT103.ZIP.  The use of the program is very similar to the
normal version of 7plus.  Install as usual (Psion-I) from any \APP
directory.  Enter the filename and switches on the appropriate lines
of the dialog.  If you leave these lines blank and press Enter, the
HELP screens will appear.

The full (original) 7plus manual is included in this archive.

PT_7PLUS is a version of 7+ for the Psion Series 3 range of palmtop
computers. Although 7plus is a valid name as a file, it is not a valid
name for a process, because it doesn't start with an alphabetic
character. Hence the name change.

The program was ported on to the Psion Series 3 range of palmtops using
the CLIB functions which provide ANSI compatibility. It is a very crude
port, and probably has produced a significantly large image than would
have happened using PLIB which is tailored to using more ROM routines.

The program can run in two modes, interactive, and by a launch from
another program. For interactive use, it should be placed in the \APP\
directory, and installed using Psion-I. If you wish to launch requests
to it, then of course it can be anywhere, but it makes sense to keep it
in the \APP\ directory too.

The MMI is crude using the ANSI I/O functions. HWIF is only used in the
interactive version to input or select a file.

However, the image can be launched by other processes and process the
launch data. This is the main reason I have done this port. I did not
want to re-write the code. I wanted something that worked, something that
I could give back to BG1BBQ, something that other people could fix if a
logic flaw turns up at a later date. I also wanted something I could
integrate into my packet terminal software (PT) I have already written
for the Series 3. Using the ANSI functions, and inter-process comms
fits this requirement admirably.

The following is a simple sample on how to launch 7+ from another program.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <plib.h>
#include <hwif.h>

typedef struct
    {
    HANDLE  pid;                /* Our PID so 7+ can reply to us */
    VOID    *poff;              /* Ptr to error code to be returned */
    TEXT    *filename;          /* Ptr to supplied filename */
    TEXT    *switches;          /* Ptr to optional switches */
    } SEVENP;

GLDEF_C VOID main()
{
    TEXT    filename[P_FNAMESIZE];
    TEXT    switches[50];
    SEVENP  cl;                 /* Command Line to launch 7+ */
    HANDLE  sevenp_pid;         /* Process ID of 7+ application */
    WORD    sevenp_stat=-1;     /* Status word for 7+ application */
    INT     sevenp_result;      /* Error code returned from 7+ */

    uCommonInit();

    p_scpy(filename, "LOC::M:\\WRD\\TEST.WRD");
    p_scpy(switches, "-sp 3 -k -y");

    cl.pid=p_getpid();
    cl.poff=&sevenp_result;
    cl.filename=filename;
    cl.switches=switches;
                                /* Load the application and send command line */
    if ((sevenp_pid=p_execc("LOC::M:\\APP\\PT\\PT_7PLUS.IMG",&cl,sizeof(cl)))<0) {
        p_exit(sevenp_pid);
    }
                                /* Tell EPOC we need to know 7+ status */
    p_logona(sevenp_pid, &sevenp_stat);
    p_presume(sevenp_pid);      /* Change 7+ state from suspended to run */

    p_iowait();                 /* Wait for something to happen, i.e. 7+ */

    p_atos(filename,"PT_7Plus returned %d\n", sevenp_result);
    p_printf(filename);
    p_getch();
    p_exit(0);
}
