Folks, I cannot tell you how fantastic it is to
see so much help offered here with this group.
I am fully up and running now and everything seems
to be just fine.
Anecdotally, I have a UNIX working relationship
from my engineering days at work (long time ago) I could get
around the BSD flavor rather well in those days.? Alas, it has
been many years since I was near to anything running Unix and
the closest I have been was a Raspberry Pi a distant relative.?
I have been using Windows like everyone else it seems forever.?
I tried to load putty on my Mac with similar
experiences of failure.? I had to install mac-ports and
home-brew but it never worked so I gave up and asked the
question in this forum.? After learning how seamless it was and
waking up old UNIX directory and input/output nomenclature in my
cobwebbed mind,? it was so easy I am embarrassed that I could
not figure this out.
My apologies to Stan Dye who was spot on as far as
how the QMX serial environment appeared to the Mac-book. He had
it right and I had it wrong!
Lastly, I am getting MacLogger and some other
stuff to play with.
A huge thanks to all!
Joe
