Important MyComm Update Information!
Three Items:
--------------------
Item 1 of 3:
New with MyComm version 2.15
Script language changes
Several changes were made to the MyComm "script" language.
Some of the changes such as needing to enclose strings in
quotes are not compatible with the previous version of the
script language. This was unfortunately necessary to provide
certain enhancements to the existing script language.
The changes are fairly simple to make, however your script
files will require some manual editing.
Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
Script language changes incompatible with versions
of MyComm below version 2.15:
- all strings must be enclosed in quotes i.e. "some string"
- string flags must begin with 'S' i.e S1, S2, etc.
- integer flags must begin with 'I' i.e. I1, I2, etc.
Enhancements to MyComm script language
- There are now ten rather than 5 string and integer flags
- Several functions were enhanced to take optional parameters
- Several new functions have been added.
Please refer to Appendix E "Script Language" in MYCOMM.DOC
for further information.
--------------------
Item 2 of 3:
A more standard notation for entering "control" characters in the
setup strings and script function strings has been added starting with
MyComm version 2.11.
For example '^M' now superceeds '|' as the Carraige Return symbol.
The '|' (also known as the "pipe" symbol) is still supported in
MyComm version 2.15 but will eventually be phased out. As time
permits all incidences of the '|' symbol should be replaced in your
Modem Setup Strings and the XMIT() script function.
--------------------
Item 3 of 3:
New with MyComm version 2.1 and above
Configuration file changes
The format of the configuration file (MYCOMM.CFG) used by
MyComm version 2.1x has changed due to features that have
been added to MyComm. For your convenience the program
CNVRT2NW.EXE is provided to perform the necessary
conversion for you. Use this conversion program only if you
are currently using MyComm version 2.0, 2.01, or 2.02.
Usage of CNVRT2NW.EXE
Step 1: Copy CNVRT2NW.EXE to the directory that you keep
MyComm in.
Step 2: Type CNVRT2NW at the DOS prompt. You will see
some short instructions. Type 'Y' to continue,
or 'N' to quit. The CNVRT2NW program will run
and perform the required conversion for you.
The CNVRT2NW program also creates the file MYCM_OLD.CFG
which is a backup of your current configuration. After you
have determined that the conversion has taken place
correctly you may delete the file MYCM_OLD.CFG.
NOTE!
The CNVRT2NW.EXE program will NOT work with versions of MyComm
below version 2.0! Sorry for any inconvenience.
