Hi, not quit what you wanted but....

Somebody wanted a portstatus that returns a string.... I hacked this out
this afternoon (10/4/95) on Jazz.  Anyway, details as follows:

Works on: S/SX/G/GX
Args	: a real (either 1 or 2 ie port 1/port 2)
Result	: " "	: no card
	  "F"	: RAM card (free'ed)
	  "R"	: ROM
	  "M"	: MERGE'ed

Ok, that's it....

Source and UUencode below.....
