PHOMAST.T [Version 6.4] Michael R. Ash Revised to YAM/ZCOMM Version 17.70+ 15 March 91 Revised 21 Apr 91 CAF This is the latest in a series of updates to PHOMAST.T scripts designed to get you up and running utilizing the power of Professional-YAM or ZCOMM. For performance and clarity I have moved my opening remarks and instructions about setting up this script to a separate file called: -> PHOMAST.DOC <- New features of this update include fully automated menu configuration, autospeed detection, and lots of slick coding examples... When run for the first time this script will generate a new file called 'PROFILE.DAT' containing specific configuration information that in the past you used to have to know and write into the script with an editor in advance before using YAM or ZCOMM. This file, 'PROFILE.DAT', if present is loaded every time YAM/ZCOMM is run and defines your generalized defaults. I have included comments everywhere to help you understand the fascinating and comprehensive script language included in YAM and ZCOMM. Any information that follows a colon (:) mark is not read by YAM or ZCOMM since it is taken as a comment. When you are instructed to uncomment a line it means to load the script into an editor and delete the colon at the start of the line so the program can use it. When ZCOMM is loaded it looks in the \ZCOMM subdirectory for a file called PHOMAST.T -=- When YAM is loaded it looks in the root for a file called PHONES.T (you could rename PHOMAST.T to PHONES.T and put it in the root but there are a couple of better ways to handle this). The simplest and most flexible method is to use the DOS 'set phones' command (shown below) to tell YAM/ZCOMM where to find its phones file. Another method is to have PUTSNP.EXE (the serial number installing routine) change the default location of the phones files. set PHONES=c:\zcomm\phomast.t The line above can be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to tell YAM where to look for its phones file. ZCOMM users won't need to use this line unless they want to have PHOMAST.T in another directory since it is already the default location for ZCOMM. The phones file (PHOMAST.T) gives YAM/ZCOMM directions on how you want the package to operate. For those of you that haven't heard of YAM, it's the short name for Professional-YAM, a commercial package that includes all of ZCOMM (its shareware subset) plus advanced capabilities for professional tele- communications requirements. Dialing entries can be placed anywhere in the script but since the script is read from the top down, entries placed near the top will be found first. A simple dialing entry is usually one line as below, with the label starting in column 1. Using the command 'call pcmag' will cause the following. The old line will be 'hung-up', speed will be set to 2400 baud, number dialed, then Error correction turned on and terminal mode entered in 8 bit graphics format. Just copy this line, make a new label, add a new number and you're all set with a new phone directory entry... pcmag sp 2400 1-212-503-5255 ena -E;t -8g :PC Magazine BBS ------------------------------ I have tried to make this script as perfect as possible but like most things in life there are no guarantees that I found everything. I wish you the best of luck with YAM or ZCOMM. Please let me know if you run into problems... I have spent hundreds of hours over many years on this script to make ZCOMM or YAM useful to new users right out of the starting blocks. If this has helped you get a better grasp of the package I would like to hear from you. If this really made a difference, and you think my time is was well spent, throw a couple bucks my way and I will go out for a taco... Whatever you decide, I would appreciate a postcard, just to get an idea who this script finally reached... Michael Ash 3766 Tupelo Ln #2904 San Antonio, TX 78229 ---------- Have Fun ---------- ::----------------------------------------------------------------------------:: -- Special AutoSense Dialing Script with speed fallback -- Below is specialized code you don't need to concern yourself with. If you want to change the default menu colors or the initial generic modem string, search for the character <*> to direct you to those parts of the code. Again this is optional since 95% of the users out there will be able to use the script as is. The dial routine below replaces internal YAM/ZCOMM carrier detect code... This dialing routine is called by the first line in 'setup' section of code by the command: set mcommand "gosub dial" Calls you make with your modem at 2400 baud that connect to 2400, 1200, or 300 baud modems on the other end will automatically change your modem speed to match. It is IMPORTANT to give Xn value in modem setup string the highest number available to insure your modem answer using full words, not just codes... To manual dial a voice call use construct: 'xxx-xxxxxv' where 'xxx-xxxx' is the phone number you want to call from the command line followed by the letter 'v'. If you need more complex dial routines for mnp and high speed modems see 'mm224' label under PHONES.T provided with Professional-YAM or download SCRIPTS.ZOO from the scripts subdirectory on Telegodzilla, the YAM/ZCOMM support BBS. dial pat :Clear old patterns if "%telno<2" echo "\n\nPhone number must be at least 2 numbers\n\n"; return bye : %telno is string containing phone number sleep 10 if "%mprefix<2" goto mandial :If no modem prefix defined (e.g. ATDT) :This allows for manual phone dialing. pat 0c "v" :Search for "v" voice call :Below list possible messages from modem pat 1 "CONNECT\r\n" ; pat 2 "NO CARRIER" ; pat 3 "BUSY" ; pat 4 "RING" pat 5l "CONNECT 1200" ; pat 6l "CONNECT 2400" ; pat 7l "9600" ; pat 9 OK ena -d :disABLE carrier lost message (ver 17.04+ not needed) put %mprefix; putw %telno\r :Send dial prefix (e.g. ATDT) and phone # if !0 goto nov :Skip instruction if not a voice call (eg not a ';') echo "\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t Voice Calling in Progress...\n\n" echo "\t\t >>> Once phone ringing Hit RETURN <<<\n\n" if y bye ; return :once key hit, hang up modem... nov: wait -f72 while "4&&!L>3" wait -f40 :while ringing less then 4 times wait if "n||2||3||9" echo "No connection made..." pat; o; fail while "!c&&L<20" sleep 1 :wait for slow carrier detect if 5 sp 1200 goto gotit :setup for 1200 baud connection if 6 sp 2400 goto gotit :setup for 2400 baud connection if 7 sp 9600 goto gotit :setup for 9600 baud connection if 10 sp 300 :ugh a 300 baudy line... gotit: set telno "" :erase telephone number from variable dis -d return :: If modem prefix string less than 2 characters, Manual dialing :: is assumed.

To : avoid having quotes within quotes, there is a special version of the : set command that accepts the next line starting in column 1, as an : implied command. This means you don't need quotes around it... Note : as well the 'set' command DOESN'T start in column 1 because if it did : it would be considered to be a label. : To explain how the command works remember anything beginning with : an "@" sign is a YAM/ZCOMM command (a @! allows you to execute a DOS : program). Let look at this command defining f3 step by step... : The command "set" tells the program to set the function key : (this case F3) to the following string: : @accept s1 Enter name of Capture File: ;create -S+ %s1 : You could have used an escape sequence \40 to define a space : in the string but only necessary in single line format. This will : make the prompt --> Enter name of Capture File: <-- Now the "accept" : command assigns anything you type in response to this prompt and : stores the response in a variable s1. Remember ";" is just a way to : separate multiple commands on each line, so you see when we come to : the next command "create", it causes a capture file to be opened : using the name you have entered. The modifiers -S+ means, strip : off control characters (-S) and append to the file (+) if it already : exists. Notice the argument %s1 will insert the file name : added after the prompt (stored in s1). : You see the PLUS of YAM/ZCOMM is that you can make things look : any way you want. You can set 38 function keys (remember that : F1 moves you from circular buffer to terminal mode to command mode : and F2 moves you in the opposite direction). YAM/ZCOMM has THREE : displays (command line, terminal mode, and circular buffer) yet this : is a FAST way to move between them... : To see variables you have defined just give the 'set' command followed : by a return at the YAM/ZCOMM prompt. If you want to see the value of : a single key or variable for example 'F5' use the command 'echo f5'. : To see what KEYS are defined enter the command 'key' at the YAM/ZCOMM : command line.
