COM-AND v2.9 Review release
Copyright R. Scott McGinnis, 1992, all rights reserved
----------------------------------------------------
This is version 2.9 of COM-AND, a communications program for the IBM PC.
It has been prepared as self-extracting ZIP files, and includes an INSTALL
program specific to COM-AND. Please do not upload these files to host
systems or BBSes. CABER Software will be happy to supply ZIP files for
uploading if you desire.
To install COM-AND on a HARD DISK (or floppy, although we don't recommend
installation to floppy drives), you need to know a few simple facts:
o A subdirectory to be used for COM-AND. [If this does not exist,
it will be created during INSTALL.]
o The COM port your modem uses (COM1, COM2... COM4)
o Your modem's maximum speed (300, 1200, 2400, 9600, etc)
o Your modem's initialization string (or modem brand, if the brand
is included in the INSTALL script's list)
Place the distribution diskette into a drive. Direct DOS to use that drive
(for example, if you placed the diskette into the "A" drive, type "A:"
(without the quotes, please) and a carriage return ("<cr>" used here means
carriage return) at the DOS prompt. Then type "INSTALL" and <cr>. [This
invokes the INSTALL.EXE program. INSTALL will prompt for values it needs.]
After INSTALL completes, COM-AND will start and a script for COM-AND will
take over. The script will configure COM-AND to your machine. After
INSTALL terminates, you will be left in terminal mode. Press Alt-X to
exit back to DOS, or F10 to begin exploring COM-AND.
Please review registration information and program license in the file
REGISTER.DOC. Limitations on redistribution (applicable to commercial
users and disk vendors) will be found in REGISTER.DOC and VENDOR.DOC.
README.DOC highlights the changes for this version. An introduction to
modems will be found in INTRO.DOC. The primary COM-AND documentation will
be found in the files COM-AND.DOC and CASCRIPT.DOC. Other *.DOC files
document specific scripts and utilities.
To print a document file, DOS command "PRINT <file>.DOC". All documents
are formatted 55 lines to the page, with top-of-forms as page breaks, using
tab characters.
