TO: All who use UM
FROM: Kenneth Leung
DATE: March 1, 1990
SUBJECT: Telix Upload Manager version C
Requirements: Telix v3.12 or later
TLXUMCFG.SLC, TLXUMSRT.SLC, ZMTX.SLC,
and YGTX.SLC must be in the script
directory.
Thank you for using UM (Upload Manager). If you have
any comments, or have found any bugs, or if you happen to
like UM very much, please send a letter to the following
address:

Due to the limitation of Telix itself, internal
protocols can only handle 64 characters long filename(s),
and can only upload files from ONE directory only. If you
want to upload more files, or want to upload files from
different drive or directory (ie. A:\FILE1.ZIP,
C:\FILE2.ZIP, C:\TELIX\FILE3.ZIP at the same time), select
DSZ's Zmodem or DSZ's Ymodem-G.
If you choose DSZ's Zmodem or Ymodem-G, UM will create
a file call "TLXUM.UP" in the Telix's base directory. After
it finish upload the files, UM will delete "TLXUM.UP"
itself. Also, in order to use these external protocols,
ZMTX.SLC and YGTX.SLC must be in the SCRIPT DIRECTORY. ZMTX
and YGTX are scripts that run DSZ. If you don't like the
parameter I set for Zmodem and Ymodem-G, please do modify
the script (the source is included in TLXUM-C.ZIP)
There are two new function in TELIX Upload Manager
version C., SORT and START OVER. Once again, due to the
limitation of SALT itself, it is impossible to sort the file
list in the "Tag-File Window"; therefore, I write a very
simple script to run a directory sort utility (such as
Norton's DS "Directory Sort"), then UM will re-scan the
directory again. This time, after the sort, all files
should appear in an alphabetical order. About the function
"Start Over", please see "Fixes or Enhancements".
Allow me to show you the following comment from Mr.
Kenneth S. Harwell:
------------------------------------------------------------
I downloaded TLXUM-B.ZIP and am currently using it.
Because of my present monitor (CGA) and the way I have Telix
configured, the colors of TLXUM-B are semi-displeasing (the
actual operation of the program is great!).
My idea is to modify it (or start over :-)) and write a
script that did nothing but outputted to a text file say,
TLXUMCFG.TXT, and have the output correspond to certain
variables. Then, change the TLXUM display colors to
variables and insert "fread" statements to define the
different variables?
------------------------------------------------------------
The reason I show you this comment is simple: I love
to receive any comments from you, and hope this will
encourage some of you. Your idea is the most precious gift
to me.
Fixes or Enhancements:
1. Correct the problem with the pointer if the number
of listed files is 18, 36, 54, or 72.
2. Correct the problem with the upload path, now you
can tag about 4 files in ANY directory (internal
protocols.)
3. Add scroll bar in the "protocol window." (Thanks to
Mr. Harwell)
4. Add the "Start Over" function in the "tag-file
window". This will untag ALL files. If it is
external protocol, this function will delete
"TLXUM.UP" and start all over again.
5. Now the total number of tagged files will show on
the upper-right hand corner.
6. Add the "Sort" function in the "tag-file window".
Well, this function is very limited since it
requires the use of external program. For example,
I use Norton's DS [Directory Sort] for this
function.
7. Correct the spelling in the "protocol window".
8. Add scroll bar in the "tag-file window".
9. Add TLXUMCFG.SLC for configurating UM's colors.
This script will write (or re-write) TLXUM.CFG in
your script directory.
