Are the DOS based tools for the stamps still being supported?

Hello from Gregg C Levine
One of my projects, involves connecting my Stamp 1, to the serial port
on this computer. And using the original stamp tool for managing it,
on another one. That one, isn't running Windows, I know the DOS Stamp
tool runs on it. I just need to know that the product is still being
supported.

Code to follow, also for my ideas regarding VEE, and the Stamp.

    I'm not sure what you mean by supported. You can still get it and use it -- it
    hasn't changed in ages. Most people don't have DOS machines anymore so we
    created the serial adapter (that will work under the most horrendous conditions
    offered up by modern laptop serial ports) and updated the compiler to make
    programming the BS1 easier (like the memory map function that BS2 users have
    always had).

    Hello from Gregg C Levine
    In this context, since I have two DOS machines here, that laptop, and
    an older Compaq Portable, I mean that if I have a question or two
    regarding the program, somebody will be able to answer it. And yes I
    agree with the ideas behind the adapter, and the Windows product. I'm
    surprised, Jon, that you didn't comment on my congratulatory message
    regarding getting everything to work that way.

    In fact for the first series of tests the roles will probably be
    reversed, the laptop will get the serial data tossed at it, and this
    guy, running Windows, will be managing the stamp.

    I've got a newer laptop on order, but he won't be hear for another six
    to eight weeks they tell me.

    And that's what I meant earlier.
