*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-* INSTALLING PYROTO MOUNTAIN *-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*
IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------
You must modify your CONFIG.SYS file to support more than the default
number of open files. Using a text editor, create CONFIG.SYS (or modify
your existing one). It must contain the following line:
FILES=20
You can also improve disk or diskette performance by adding the line:
BUFFERS=20
Installing to Floppy Diskettes (2 Required)
-------------------------------------------
1. Format two diskettes: one with DOS and one without DOS.
2. Place the diskette containing the Pyroto files in Drive A.
3. Finally, type PYINST at the DOS prompt.
Installing to a Hard Disk
-------------------------
1. Create a sub-directory named PYROTO.
2. Copy in all the Pyroto files.
3. Finally, type PYINST at the DOS prompt.
After Installation
------------------
At this point, you can run Pyroto locally. Read the file named WIZOP.DOC,
which explains how to sign on, then enter the command:
PYROTO LOCAL
If you want to use it with a modem, have a close look at the file named
PYCONFIG.DAT. You may have to modify this with a text editor. If so, make
a backup copy, first!
Problems
--------
The most common problem is the incorrect modification of the PYCONFIG file.
Compare your version with the original, and notice the differences. Maybe
your comments (on the right side) start before column 40. Perhaps you have
a blank line, or an improper comment line. Or perhaps your "Mountain" logo
has the "comment" character in the first position.
If Pyroto runs fine when started with PYROTO LOCAL then the probable cul-
prit is the modem. If you can't solve the problem, write me a letter at
the address noted in COPYRITE.DOC and I will try to help you. The more
information you provide, the better your chances of getting a solution.
One common problem with any program that interfaces with a "smart" modem is
command timing. You may have an AT-command modem, which uses all the now-
standard AT commands, but it may take longer to react to the commands than
another modem, or Pyroto might send the commands faster than it can accept
them.
You can add in delays by imbedding caret (^) characters in the commands,
in PYCONFIG.DAT. Each caret introduces a delay of one tenth of a second.
Some typical applications:
(1) You can add carets within the command to slow down the send-rate. For
example, instead of ATH0, you could put A^T^H^0.
(2) If Pyroto sends a command before a previous command has been com-
pleted, you could put a delay BEFORE the second command.
(3) I have no reason to believe that there will ever be a valid reason to
place a delay AFTER a command, since Pyroto ensures that the command
is sent in its entirety, and all characters echoed back, before send-
a "RETURN" character to execute the command.
