  Because I will be leaving home tomorrow and I am STILL getting requests for
the WEFAX 105 program AND getting complaints that people can't access the
LISTSERV at PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU database, I am putting it up here in plain ascii
code.  Simply remove all information not part of the program and save it to
your disk as an ASCII Basic Program.  Yes, I KNOW you're not supposed to do
this because it wastes net bandwidth, but I am compelled to due to the amount
of requests for this.  This program's length is about as long as some of the
messages we've been seeing here lately.
  Now a few tips for using the program, but 1st a warning:
BE SURE THAT YOU DO **NOT** TURN UP THE AUDIO TOO LOUD ON YOUR RADIO!!!!!!!
The friend that gave this program to me knows someone whom he gave it to that
burned out the cassette port on his computer due to too much radio audio.  So,
don't say I didn't warn you.
  As I have said, the program uses the CoCo's built-in cassette port to receive
and demodulate weather faxes (and others).  The pictures are of very high
quality, but there is no grey scale.  It runs on ANY Color Computer (but it was
designed to run on the 1 and 2), and runs in Disk Extended Color Basic (DECB),
which is what is built into the machine's roms when you buy it.
  Although a disk drive is not required, if you're thinking of saving pictures
you will need one.  Because the size of the pictures (they are a basic memory
dump), the program does NOT use files, but the whole disk!  Because of this,
BE SURE to use a clean disk for saving pictures.  1 Single-side disk will
store 2 pictures.
  As far as hardware between the computer and radio, you simply need a cable to
connect between the audio input portion of the cassette port and the earphone
plug of the radio.  Since the cassette plug is a 5 pin DIN, this is easy.  A
pinout of the port is given in the CoCo's manual (one of them).
  So, remember the warning...get set up...and have fun!!  73's and see you in
mid January (please don't send me mail until then, as it will probably bounce,
and if it doesn't, I won't be receiving it), Mike, N7MSD
