(A)scii Color - on/off
----------------------
This command, when enabled, will allow color on those systems properly
configured. There are three requirements before this will work. First,
the caller must have set his communication parameters to 8 bits, no parity.
Secondly, he must be running software which supports this option. Qmodem,
Procomm, and Pibterm are three such examples. Most require that ANSI.SYS be
installed on the home system. This can be done by putting the line DEVICE =
ANSI.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. Thirdly, he must have a color monitor.
(C)hange Directory
------------------
This command allows a caller to move within the hard drive. A knowledge of
path and sub-directory protocol is advisable. Entering '\' alone would
change to the root directory. Typing '\games' may change to the 'games'
directory. You may NOT enter a drive specifier here.
(D)ownload File
---------------
Entering 'D' from the menu will allow you to download (send) a program from
this system. Xmodem (checksum & CRC) and ASCII protocols are supported.
You may NOT enter a directory or drive specifier here.
(F)ile Directory
----------------
This option will give you a listing of the various files and directories on
the system. Directories will be contained within ()'s, as (DBASE) would be
a valid directory.
(G)oodbye
---------
Self explainatory. Logs off the caller.
(H)elp with Host
----------------
Displays this text file.
(L)og New Drive
---------------
This is the provision for changing the default logged drive.
(O)perator Chat
---------------
Selecting this option will summons the SysOp and if answered, will provide
for real-time conversation via the keyboards.
(M)essage to SysOp
------------------
This is the only provision for leaving mail. Only the Systems Operator
will be able to read the message.
(P)rogram Descripts
-------------------
The file listed by this option is created when a program is uploaded by a
caller. It can be edited by the sysop to reflect the proper subdirectory
the uploaded file was transfered to.
(S)earch for File
-----------------
This selection will search every subdirectory for the wildcard/filespec you
specify and give the path if found. It will ONLY FIND THE FIRST MATCH IN
EACH SUBDIRECTORY. You are advised to make each wildcard as specific as
possible.
(U)pload File
-------------
This function is simular to the Download option, except the file is sent
from the caller to the host system. A provision is made for entering a
description of the uploaded file.
ALL THE ABOVE COMMANDS ARE SUBJECT TO CLEARANCE LEVELS!
It is possible to be denied access to either a file, drive, or directory.
Ask the SysOp for details.
The SysOp is able to send mail to a user. If mail is waiting for the
caller, it will be send just after log on.
