PSU Dandy Dialer Version 2.03
2/7/94
C. J. Sacksteder
Penn State University
Center for Academic Computing
INTRODUCTION
This program is for entering and saving various dialing strings used to connect
to the CAC's "Authenticated Internet Connection" server. The program will create
the necessary script and launch the actual dialing program.
It is currently capable of working with FTP Software's PC/TCP and Peter Tattam's
Trumpet Winsock. While it was designed for use at Penn State, it might be adaptable
for other servers. See NOTPSU.TXT for information.
INSTALLATION
Put these files in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory if they aren't already there:
VBRUN300.DLL
COMMDLG.DLL
CMDIALOG.VBX
If you are using PC/TCP, then:
Put the other files in the PC/TCP directory (the one with PCTCP.INI),
except you can throw away LOGIN.ORI.
Add a program item in an appropriate group for PCDIAL.EXE. Make the
working or start-up directory the PC/TCP directory.
If you are using Trumpet Winsock, then:
Put the other files in the directory with TCPMAN.EXE, except throw out
DIALBELL.INI and COMSCRPT.PIF.
If you have a working LOGIN.CMD, save it by renaming it. (PSUDIAL will
copy any existing LOGIN.CMD to LOGIN.SAV before generating a new one.)
Add a program item in an appropriate group for PCDIAL.EXE. Make the
working or start-up directory the same directory as TCPMAN. Add TWSHANG.EXE
to the program group.
RUNNING IT
All the documentation is in the help file. Pick Contents or Search from the
Help menu, or press F1 after clicking on any field (or click on a button and
press F1 with button still down).
For Trumpet Winsock, a TWSHANG.EXE is included. This will send keystrokes to
TCPMAN to run the BYE script. Right now it minimizes TCPMAN after doing that
because closing it didn't work.

6/9/94 (v2.02) Add minimize option to minimize TCPMAN after dialing.
Set focus to dial button if userid and password are set.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
-- Can't find help file: if the PSUDIAL.HLP is in the startup or working
directory (where it is usually found), but a setup file from another
directory has been selected, then the current directory no longer has
the help file and it can't be found (directory not in path). Workaround
is to move the help file to a directory like Windows or one in the path.
-- Minimize option (for Trumpet Winsock) -- minimizes right after script
starts on some systems (on others, minimizes after script ends). Oh,
try running SHARE before starting Windows -- this works on the DOS 6
system.
POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENTS
-- Ability to set the name of an application to launch after the connection
is made. Need to be able to tell when SLIP is established first.
