BImodem PRO version 3.5 (PAMPA)- Made in República Federal Argentina
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Commands, Functions & differences with bimodem v1.24.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Before anything else, you must get the complete bimodem package, doing
that you will obtain the complete DOCs and the rest of the support files
that are not included within PAMPA package. Installation is quite
simple. Just replace your old BIMODEM.COM with the new one included in
this package, and you are ready to experience the most advanced protocol
of the world. Also copy BIproCFG.EXE and PCV.EXE into BIMODEM's
directory, and afterwards execute BIproCFG to create/setup the new
configuration file for PAMPA named BIMPRO.CFG. This configuration file
must be placed at BImodem's directory.
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
New Stuff:
-Simultaneous remote/local chat capture.
-Unlike BImodem v1.24, TIMEOUT timer is reset when a 'FILE NOT FOUND'
message from remote is received.
-F3: Shows disk directory.
-Timers: Up to BImodem PRO 3.1, CPS where incremented by 1.5625%.
Actually, the shown CPS are the VERY REAL ones
(CPS=Bytes_transferred_DIV_current_timer_value). The actual transfer
time, the estimated time and time left are all represented on-screen.
-F1: Help/Functions (ALT/H does not work anymore).
-/K: Command-line Switch. Starts PAMPA with the Screen Saver in Smart
mode.
-/X: Command-line Switch. When PAMPA starts the screen is totally
erased, and restored when session ends. There will not be any chars
sorrounding BImodem's screen.
-/!: Command-line Switch. Start and Lock keyboard immediately. Remember
your password to unlock PAMPA afterwards!
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PCV.EXE (Pampa Chat Viewer): PCV [capture archive]
PCV is designed as a browser for viewing the captured chat. Just
execute PCV and the program will show the capture file. You can specify
an alternative capture file name.
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Functions:
-Alt-0: Activates End Of Transfer ALARM. You must press any key or wait
a few seconds to finish execution.
-PgDn: Request archives from remote (also known as download).
-PgUp: Send archives to remote (also known as upload).
-Alt-S: Aborts transferring the current archive (SEND).
-Alt-R: Aborts transferring the current archive (RECEIVE).
-Alt-V: Always Verify the file after each transfer (Switch).
-Esc: Press 3 times in chat mode to abort session.
-Alt-Q: Silence Mode, no sounds will be made (only fatal errors).
-Alt-D: Switch from Original<->Current file date Stamp
-Alt-T: Switch Time Limit Check <-> No Limit
-Alt-Y: Accept<->Deny remote requests.
-Alt-A: (á) Spanish char.
-Alt-E: (é) Spanish char.
-Alt-I: (í) Spanish char.
-Alt-O: (ó) Spanish char.
-Alt-U: (ú) Spanish char.
-Alt-N: (ñ) Spanish char.
-Alt-Z: Switch to Chat time on <-> Chat Time Off.
- F1: Shows PAMPA functions on line (HELP!).
-Alt-G: Automatic remote page/chat tracking. Pressing it down once will
activate a chat tracking function. An alarm/beep will sound when
remote initiates a chat. Pressing it again will send
automatically a control-g about each ten seconds.
-Alt-K: Screen Saver for VGA monitors. Pressing it down once, Smart mode
is activated: the screen will only be shown when an event
happens (errors, file starts, etc). After a few seconds, the
screen will go blank again. Pressing it again, the screen will
be blanked until alt-K is pressed again.
-Alt-L: Keyboard Locking feature. You must setup the password in
BIprocfg.
-Alt-C: Open <-> Close capture file.
-Alt-H: Drop Carrier when transfer ends (toggle DTR).
-Alt-J: Drop Carrier if remote doesn't send files for 30 seconds (toggle
DTR).
-Alt-B: Toggle transfer size limit on <-> off.
-Alt-P: Permanent Chat Enabled. After sending/receiving files, stay online.
- F3: Dir command. Enter the file mask. PAMPA will read and show the
directory list. You can scroll the list using the arrow keys.
════════════════════════ ════════════════════════ ═══════════════════════
Differences from v1.24:
-More information regarding the transfer is shown on screen.
-The global timer starts when PAMPA receives the remote ID.
-You can extend chat after transfer, but you don't need to keep pressing
a key to reset the ten seconds timer. You must only press ALT-P to use
this feature.
-Total number of files and current file number counters where added and
are shown on screen.
-The actual Block size is shown on screen.
-TimeOuts are set to larger values for high speed modems that need to do
retrains.
-Disk Reset after ending session.
-/0|/3 New command line options.
/3: A 3 seconds alarm will sound when PAMPA ends.
/0: A permanent alarm will sound when PAMPA ends. Abort pressing a
key.
-4DOS/NDos file commenting Support.
-Instead of a beep, a phone-like bell will be heard when remote calls
you.
-Many improvements regarding general performance.
-Miscellaneous Bug fixes.
-Baud setting in BICONFIG is ignored. During a session actual CPS will
be calculated and shown on screen.
A touch of class: TXD & RXD flow is shown on-screen with rotating bars.
════════════════════════ ════════════════════════ ═══════════════════════
BIprocfg.exe: Program that configures the extra options in PAMPA.
Beginning with version 3.3, the extra configuration will
be found in a file called BIMPRO.CFG. This file must
reside in the same directory where BImodem.com (PAMPA) is
located. If the file BIMPRO.CFG is not found, BIprocfg
will create a new one. Future releases will update
BIMPRO.CFG as needed.
Use: Just execute BIprocfg. The program will search for BImodem.com
and BImpro.cfg. If BImpro.cfg is not found, a new one will be
created.
Once inside, a main menu will be shown. You can select:
"General CFG"
"Color CFG"
"Chat configuration"
The program supports mouse if a driver is loaded. BIprocfg has
a built-in help accessed by pressing F1 whenever you want.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Warning:
There are many temporal files that are created by PAMPA during
execution. This files are automatically deleted when session
is finished. These temporal files are related to scrollback,
directory function, etc.

Thanks to:
Erik Labs: Genius, look at the protocol you have invented!
shame that you never finished your work...
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHY BImodem PRO?
The last official release was Bimodem v1.24 at 1990. On year 1992, the
idea of building something like Bimodem came to me, but, I wanted to
make it better, so, here it is, a Bimodem 1.24 compatible protocol, but
with several features added. A protocol that's just the best. Its name
is PAMPA.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Legal Aspect:
The software is FREEWARE, it must be distributed in a
freely way. I should not be responsible for any problems
that PAMPA can cause you, the software is distributed in an
as-is basis.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CARDWARE!
The protocol is distributed free. If you bought this soft,
you've been victim of a fraud. The cardware idea is that PAMPA
users from all over the world, send a postcard or their
hometown via mail as a symbol of support. You can send
commentaries, ideas, salutes, etc. Come on! Show your support
for the best protocol you can never BUY!
