REDIR.WAS
This script program is designed to allow a Host mode sysop to add the ability
to shell to DOS in the host mode. There are several limitations to this
program which you need to ba aware of:
1). REDIR.WAS creates a .BAT file in the Aspect directory. If you modify
the code, please remember to change the directory path in the script.
2). REDIR redirects output to the comport being used. You might need to
change the initialization string of the modem to insure that, when the
script changes away from the current port and the DTR line is dropped,
the modem does not hang up. To do this, issue an AT&D0 at the terminal
screen before going into Host mode.
3). Baud rates above 9600 at the local port are not supported. If your modem
is set above 9600 baud, you will need to reset the baud rate to 9600 or
lower for the script to allow the remote user to shell to DOS.
4). Your modem (or null modem cable) must support carrier detect.
Files Included:
REDIR.WAS - Script source code
REDIR.WAX - Compiled script file.
REDIR.PIF - PIF file for running REDIR.BAT. Currently, this PIF file
is set to execute REDIR.BAT from the C:\PROWIN\ASPECT
directory. If your files are located in a different
directory, you will need to use the PIF Editor (in your
MAIN group) to change the program path and startup
directory. If you get a Windows error box when a user is
trying to shell to DOS which reads "Unable to find file:
C:\PROWIN\ASPECT\REDIR.BAT", you will need to edit your PIF
settings.
HOST.WAS - Replacement Host mode script which allow Priviledged users to
shell to DOS on the Host computer.
HOST.WAX - Compiled Script file.
HEADER.TXT - Header file copied to the active com port to notify the remote
user that they are shelled to DOS.
MODEX.EXE - C language routine to set baud rates from 4 - 115200 baud
(written by Fred Perkins).
MODEX.TXT - Information file about the use of MODEX.EXE.
