--------------- Telegard NODES.DAT Updater 1.1 -----------------
------------- (c) 1996 by Francis Julien ---------------
----------- For uses with Telegard 3.0 -------------
---------------------------------------------------------
[ - Utilisation Rights ]
---------------------------------------------------------
Telegard NODES.DAT Updater is FREEWARE. You are authorised to use
this program, distribute it, but not modifing is content.
---------------------------------------------------------
[ - General Informations ]
---------------------------------------------------------
I wish thanks Tim Strike for his great BBS Software and for all the
work that he put in it.
Lars Hellsten with his RG --> TG convertor that have permit me to
make the move easily from Renegade.
All the users of the Telegard BBS Software!
The DOS version was written with Turbo Pascal 6.0 and the OS/2 under
Visual Pascal 1.1 (A great compiler!).
---------------------------------------------------------
[ - Required Equipment ]
---------------------------------------------------------
I dont know what are the minimum requirement for this program, but
I think that a 286 with 1 meg of memory is OK. TGNODES work well
on my computer. Is a 486 DX4-100, 32 meg RAM running OS/2 Warp.
---------------------------------------------------------
[ - How Work TGNODES? ]
---------------------------------------------------------
First Rename the file TGNODES.OS2 (OS/2 version) or TGNODES.DOS
(DOS Version) to TGNODES.EXE.
TGNODES is very easy to use. Here is the parameters that you can
uses :
Status ID :
0 - Waiting for call
1 - Unavailable (offline/down)
2 - Event
3 - Connected
4 - Waiting for reset
Option : (Not mandatory)
1 - No screen clearing
TGNODES <PATH TO NODES.DAT> <NODE NUMBER> <STATUS ID> <MAX BAUD> <OPTION>
TGNODES C:\TG\DATA\ 2 0 28800
The only thing that is not implemented is the ability to Specify a
User name, a Status or a Location at Status ID #3. I dont think
that this will serve, but if I have request for this feature, I
will add it.
If you wish use this program with a mailer, no problem!. Here is
what I use before I load the mailer :
TGNODES.EXE C:\TG\DATA 2 0 28800
When the mailer exit (Not to the BBS) :
TGNODES.EXE C:\TG\DATA 2 1 28800
When the mailer exit for a event :
TGNODES.EXE C:\TG\DATA 2 2 28800
Here is my batch file for FrontDoor (not complete).
-------
:START
C:
CD\FD
TGNODES.EXE C:\TG\DATA\ 2 0 28800
FD _/forcedpmi_/forceint28
IF ERRORLEVEL = 100 GOTO EVENT
IF ERRORLEVEL = 50 GOTO BBS
IF ERRORLEVEL = 10 GOTO QUIT
GOTO START
:EVENT
TGNODES.EXE C:\TG\DATA\ 2 2 28800
:BBS
C:
CD\FD
DOBBS.BAT
GOTO START
:QUIT
C:
CD\FD
TGNODES1.EXE C:\TG\DATA\ 2 0 28800

[ - Know Problems ]
---------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why many spelling errors everywhere in my programs! ;-)
R. I speak french (live in Quebec) and I am not great in english.
Q. Why when my mailer start telegard and telegard display a
message that is node is already loaded.
R. Telegard look at the NODES.DAT if a node is loaded and you have
previously uses the Status Id 0 that make telegard think that
the node is already loaded. Make Telegard ignore this and add
the command -O (Override) at your batch file.
