This first documentation if FOSCOM.COM will be very abbreviated. The
First rendition of this program is a simple attempt at driving the FOSSIL
with a program written in ASIC.
As you will note, if you apply this program properly, the first attempt
works.
You will need 2 other programs (available on this BBS) to utilize this
driver:
1. X00.SYS (or X00.EXE). Follow the instructions that accompany this
program to install it for your system. Note that it will work
very easily by renaming X00.SYS to X00.EXE and typing:
X00 port:<n>
where <n> is the port your modem is connected to.
2. DSZ.COM, DSZ.EXE, or GSZ.EXE. It doesn't matter where you install
one of these. You will write Batch files to drive then, anyway.
You will need to write two batch (.BAT) files to interface ZMODEM with
this program:
1. ZDOWN.BAT is:
c:\dos\utility\dsz rz -rr -m
2. ZUP.BAT is:
c:\dos\utility\dsz handshake on sz -rr -m %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
Note that the complete path to run DSZ.* is included in the statement.
Note, also, that GSZ can be substituted if desired.
Once the above is accomplished, you may run the program by issuing the
command:
FOSCOM <p> <baud><cr>
where <p> is the portnumber, <baud> is the desired baud rate, and <cr> is the
Enter or Carriage Return Key.
To dial a number, simply follow the convention of your modem. For a Hayes
compatible, this would be:
ATDT834-0617<cr>
If your system is running the ANSI.SYS device driver, this program will
recognize and properly display ANSI Graphics.
Have fun!
