DLP HS/Link
Copyright 1993 Samuel H. Smith
All Rights Reserved
A version of the HS/Link File Transfer Protocol
for use with
ProComm Plus for Windows
(PRELIMINARY APPLICATION NOTES)
HSLINK.DLP is a special version of the HS/Link program which has been written
specifically for use by ProComm Plus for Windows (PROWIN).
INSTALLATION
Simply place the HSLINK.DLP in your PROWIN directory, and the HSLINK protocol
will automatically appear in the protocol menus and will work as other
protocols do in this environment.
If you wish to include HS/Link in your "host mode" operations, copy the
supplied HOST.WAS file to your PROWIN\ASPECT directory.
OPERATION
Once HSLINK.DLP is installed in your PROWIN directory, the HS/Link protocol
will automatically appear in PROWIN's protocol menus.
Downloads are automatic and require no special attention.
To upload, click the "upload" icon and select files to transmit.
To perform a bidirectional transfer, note that you MUST NOT press the final
<ENTER> key required by the BBS you are calling. Instead, click the "upload"
icon and flag outgoing files. When HSLINK starts on your end, it will send
the final <ENTER> key sequence to the BBS.
If you wish to set HS/Link options, you can modify the HSLINK.INI file in
your PROWIN directory. These settings are normally manipulated via the
"Advanced!" setup option of HS/Link from within PROWIN.
DIFFERENCES
HSLINK.DLP is similar to the standard HSLINK with the following exceptions:
* GIF files are automatically displayed onscreen during file transfer.
* The command line is automatically provided by PROWIN. Modify the
HSLINK.INI file provide protocol options.
* The "REGISTER" screen now accepts DLP HS/Link activation codes. Sorry, but
DOS HS/Link registrations are not valid for the Windows DLP version.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETA TEST VERSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This version may seem to work, but it has not been fully tested and
is not an official release! You have been warned.
PLEASE MAKE FREQUENT BACKUP COPIES OF ALL CRITICAL FILES
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETA TEST VERSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beta Testing is a means of getting widespread exposure to unfinished
versions of a program during the development process. The idea is for as
many users as possible to "beta test" the program and to make suggestions
and report bugs. This type of widespread testing can lead to a very
stable and bug-free finished product (the RELEASE version). Please read
HSLINK.NEW to see what has been changed recently.
If you encounter problems or would like to make a suggestion, please
contact the author. HS/Link product support is available by voice at
(818) 891-4228 between 9am and 6pm pacific time, TUESDAY through
SATURDAY.
To obtain newer beta test versions, please call (818) 891-1344 and select
the "free downloading" service from the initial "special services menu".
You need not be a registered Tool Shop BBS user to access this special
service.
