What is RebComm? The Introduction.
RebComm is a REB1100
communication tool. It supports USB
communications and requires the factory provided USB device driver to be
installed in the system. The driver
is supplied with the eBook Librarian™ software on the factory CDROM, or can be
downloaded from the Gemstar, Inc. web site. RebComm provides two views of the
REB1100 filesystem: The Filesystem
View and the Title List View. The
Title List View is similar to the one provided by the eBook
Librarian™.
I would like to
express my gratitude to the following people:
- Alex B. and Atlant for the idea of the
RebComm. RebComm mostly simulates the
operation of the product RebExplorer developed by Alex B. and Atlant.
- All those generous people who provided their code samples on http://www.codeguru.com, http://www.codeproject.com and http://www.codepile.com. I borrowed heavily from your expertise
and I am grateful for the opportunity to use your experience in my product.
- People at Gemstar, Nuvomedia, RCA who
designed the REB1100, which is a great product for the right price.
- Developers of rebhack REB1100 command line
communication tool.
- Anyone who wishes to use this
software.
You are free to
distribute, modify and fix problems in RebComm. You are not allowed to sell RebComm.
