═ULTI ╘ERM 4.5 IN RESPECT TO FEATURES IS THE SAME AS ═ULTI ╘ERM 4.4 BUT HAS A COUPLE OF BUGS FIXED THAT WERE MISSED IN 4.4. ╧NE CHANGE INVOLVED THE CHANGING OF THE VARIABLE STRUCTURE SO THAT A VERY LARGE STRING ARRAY COULD BE OMITTED TO GET RID OF A GARBAGE COLLECTION PAUSE THAT SHOWED UP IN 4.4 EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ┴LSO A VARIABLE CONFLICT WAS FIXED THAT CAUSED THE BUFFER BOTTOM POINTER TO BE CHANGE TO 0 (FROM 34816) AND THE SEQUENTIAL FILE PRINTER ROUTINE WAS FIXED SO IT WOULD PRINT TO THE PRINTER INSTEAD OF THE SCREEN (OOPS!). ┴NYWAYS, THAT TAKES CARE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS ╔ COULD FIND.
╫HEN YOU RUN ═ULTI ╘ERM IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOOK FOR THE SETUP FILE CALLED '═╒╠╘╔ ╙┼╘╒╨' AND LOAD THE USER STORED PARAMETERS IF THE FILE IS ON THE DISK IN DRIVE 8. ╘HIS FILE CONTAINS SUCH THINGS AS THE AUTODIAL PRESETS, FUNCTION KEY DEFINITIONS, MODEM TYPE, BAUD RATE, SCREEN COLORS, PRINTER SECONDARY ADDRESS AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE STORED SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESET THESE EVERY TIME THE PROGRAM IS USED.
╞UNCTION KEY DEFINING IS QUITE SIMPLE AND IS DONE BY PRESSING 'F' AT THE MAIN MENU AND THE CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF THE KEY TO DEFINE. ╞1-╞8 REPRESENT FUNCTION KEYS 1-8 AND ├=1-├=8 REPRESENT 9-16. ╧NCE A NUMBER OF A KEY IS PRESSED THEN ENTER THE TEXT AND ADD A ' ' TO THE END TO PRINT A CARRIAGE RETURN AFTER THE STRING. ╘O EXIT HIT RETURN WHEN AT THE WHICH KEY TO EDIT PROMPT. ╚ITTING THE RETURN KEY WILL EXIT FROM ALL OF THE SEPEARATE SUB-MENUS IN ═ULTI ╘ERM.
╔N ORDER TO ENTER A PRESET AUTODIAL NUMBER ONE MUST CHOOSE THE 'E' (EDIT) NUMBER COMMAND AT THE SELECTION PROMPT. ╘HE EDIT OPTION WILL ASK FOR THE PRESET NUMBER YOU WISH TO EDIT THEN THE NAME, NUMBER AND BAUD RATE (BAUD RATE ONLY IF USING A ╚AYES OR 1670 MODEM) BBS FOR THAT PRESET. ╧NCE THIS IS FINISHED THE AUTODIAL MENU WILL DISPLAY THE NAME OF THE BBS AT THE CHOSEN PRESET'S NUMBER. ╔F YOU WISH TO DIAL A NUMBER NOT ON THE LIST THEN YOU CAN USE THE 'O' (OTHER) COMMAND. ╘HIS COMMAND WILL ASK FOR THE JUST THE NUMBER AND BAUD RATE (IF APPLICABLE) AND THEN START DIALING THE NUMBER.
╘HE MULTI DIALING FEATURE LETS YOU DIAL 2-5 NUMBERS CYCLICALLY UNTIL EITHER A CONNECTION IS REACHED AT ONE OF THE NUMBERS OR UNTIL THE OPERATION IS ABORTED. ╫HEN PROMPTED BY THE MULTI DIAL FOR ├HOICE#X (WHERE X=1 TO 5) YOU CAN EITHER CHOOSE ANY OF THE PRESETS SIMPLY BY HITTING IT'S NUMBER OR ANY OTHERR NUMBER YOU WISH TO ENTER BY HITTING 'O'. ┼ACH NUMBER WILL BE DIALED AT THE BAUD RATE THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN CHOSEN FOR IT.
╘HE MULTI FILE TRANSFER SEND ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE THE PATTERN OF THE FILES IT WILL PRESENT TO YOU FOR THE SEND QUERY. ╔F YOU 'M*' FOR THE PATTERN THEN THE COMPUTER WILL SKIP OVER ANY FILES THAT DO NOT START WITH 'M'. ╔F YOU WISH TO HAVE THE OPTION TO SEND ALL FILES THEN JUST HIT RETURN AT THE PATTERN PROMPT.
┘OU HAVE 4 OPTIONS AT WHEN A PROGRAM NAME IS DIPLAYED IN THE MULTI SEND MODE: ┘ES/╬O/╙TART/┴LL. ┘ES WILL MARK THAT FILE TO BE SENT AND GOT THE NEXT FILE, ╬O CHOOSES NOT TO SEND THAT FILE AND GOES TO THE NEXT FILE, ┴LL MEANS THAT YOU WISH ALL OF THE REST OF THE REMAINING FILES THAT MATCH THE PATTERN YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO BE SENT, AND ╙TART MEANS THAT YOU ARE DONE SELECTING FILES AND WISH TO BEGIN OR ABORT. ╔F YOU WISH TO ABORT THEN HIT 'S' THEN HIT N WHEN ASKED IF YOU ARE READY TO SEND. ╫HEN THE END OF THE DIRECTORY IS REACHED OR WHEN YOU CHOOSE 'S' YOU ARE TOLD HOW MANY FILES YOU HAVE SELECTED TO SEND AND THEN ARE ASKED IF YOU ARE READY TO BEGIN. ┴ 'Y' RESPONSE BEGINS WHILE ANY OTHER KEY ABORTS.
╘HE ╬ON ┴UTO ═ODE LETS YOU PUT SOMEONE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE IN A BBS TYPE MODE WHERE HE/SHE CAN: READ THE DIRECTORY OF YOUR DISKS, SINGLE DOWNLOAD A FILE (PUNTER OR XMODEM), MULTI DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD, SWITCH DISK DRIVES (IF YOU HAVE A DRIVE #9 HOOKED UP) AND CALL YOU BY HAVING A BEEPING NOISE SOUND WHEN HE/SHE IS DONE OR WISHES TO TALK. ╧N YOUR END YOU CAN ENTER TERMINAL MODE TO TALK WITH THE PERSON BE HITTING ╞1 OR ABORT THE ╬ON ┴UTO MODE BY HITTING ╞7. ╘O RETURN TO ╬ON ┴UTO FROM ╘ERMINAL HIT ├= ╬.
╔N BOTH ┴SCII AND ╟RAPHIC ╘ERMINAL MODES YOU EXIT TO THE MAIN MENU BY HITTING ├= ╪. ╟RAPHIC ╘ERMINAL HAS ONLY ONE OTHER COMMAND: TO GO TO TERMINAL BY HITTING ├= ╘. ┴SCII ╘ERMINAL HAS A MULTITUDE OF IN TERMINAL COMMANDS THAT CAN BE SEEN BY HITTING ├= ╚. ╙OME OF THESE INCLUDE ├= ─ FOR DISK ─IRECTORY, ├= ┬ TO TOGGLE BUFFER OPEN/CLOSED AND ├= ┼ TO TOGGLE ECHO.
╘O USE THE DISK COMMANDS ONE ONLY NEED TYPE THE COMMAND AS IF FOLLOWING THE STATEMENT 'OPEN15,X,15,"'. ╘O SCARTCH A FILE YOU WOULD TYPE 'S:FILENAME', TO RENAME 'R:NEWNAME=OLDNAME, TO VALIDATE 'V' AND TO FORMAT 'N:DISKNAME,ID
╞ULL DISK TRANSFER, TRACK BY TRACK, OR TRANSMISSION OF SINGLE OR A RANGE OF TRACKS IS NOW POSSIBLE WITH THE ADDITION OF THE '═ODEM ┬ACK'EM' ROUTINES WRITTEN BY ┴NDY ╦OVACS AND ENHANCED FOR 1200 BAUD BY ═ATT ╫HITE.
╔F THE SEQUENTIAL FILE PRINTER DOESN'T PRINT IN THE RIGHT MODE THEN CONSULT YOU MANUAL OR INTERFACE MANUAL TO SELECT THE PROPER PRINTER SECONDARY ADDRESS FOR YOU SETUP. ╘HIS ALSO CAN BE APPLIED TO BUFFER PRINTING. ╘HE SECONDARY ADDRESS CAN BE CHANGED IN THE CONFIGURATION MENU.
