│ Using Salt Air's PCBZM in Cam-Mail v1.30 │
└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I recently installed v1.30 of Cam-Mail and wanted to use Salt
Air's new PCBZM replacement for DSZ. I had sitched to PCBZM
as DSZ is really not very friendly when run under DESQview
386. If I was going to use Cam-Mail, I had to make PCBZM work
as it did for everything else on my board.
You may copy your PCBRZ.BAT and PCBSZ.BAT files to Cam-Mail's
CAMRZ.BAT and PCBSZ.BAT files, but when run, PCBZM wants to
see a PCBOARD.DAT file in the directory it was called from.
In the bach files you will have to change to the directory
for that node and then change back to the CAM-MAIL directory
to return control back to Cam-Mail after the packet transfer.
Like this:
CAMRZ.BAT CAMSZ.BAT
═════════ ═════════
@ECHO OFF @ECHO OFF
cd %PCBDIR% cd %PCBDIR%
ZMRECV.EXE %3 ZMSEND.EXE %3
cd cam-mail cd cam-mail
After talking to the people at Cam DeBuck Software, I was
told that Cam-Mail uses a tempory file created during a
transfer to update the callers message pointers after the
caller's packet transfer.
To insure that your callers pointers are updated, you will
need to make sure that the enviornment setting for DSZ.LOG is
fully pathed out and not merely a filename. Make sure the
following is in your BOARD.BAT file:
SET DSZ=C:\PCB\N1\PCBDSZ.LOG
^^
And if you are running several nodes, make sure that this
line is added to each BOARD.BAT for that node and that it
reflects that node's directory (ie: N1, N2, or N3). ^^ ^^ ^^
One final note, I use different BOARD.BAT files to load the
same node. Why is not important, just that I do. So I had to
set this enviornment variable in my BB.BAT file DV386 used
when I open the window to pull up that node, and then I had
to modify BOARD.BAT which is what I use to pull up that node
after a DOOR is finished running and control is returned to
PCBoard.
I would like to thank the people at Cam DeBuck Software for
patiently helping me to get PCBZM to work on my board. I have
merely documented what I learned so that another would not
have to go through this and the long distance calls to get it
running. <grin>
