- Echo off
- rem This is an example BAT for Intellicomm auto-mail transfers using the
- rem HS/Link protocol by Sam Smith (available on BBS's as Shareware). This
- rem batch ALSO contains instructions on how to set up Intellicomm for mail
- rem runs with HS/Link, so please read on. The batch has been customized for
- rem use in Intellicomm MAIL runs, and it should not be renamed or otherwise
- rem modified, if you want it to work properly.
- rem
- rem AUTOMATED uploads/downloads are currently only supported bi-directionally
- rem for message transfers (i.e. systems that send a message 'packet' and
- rem expect you to send a reply packet... any mail system that supports HS/Link
- rem should work fine).
- rem
- rem NOTICE: You may experience problems with UNREGISTERED copies of HS/Link,
- rem since the Shareware screen delays return to Intellicomm, and can cause
- rem important prompts (successful up/download) from the BBS to be missed.
- rem This causes Intellicomm to think that the transfer was unsuccessful, and
- rem it will thus attempt another download (2 D/L max). If you experience
- rem this, give The Tool Shop a call (see HS/Link docs) and pay for your copy
- rem of HS/Link... there's no other way around it. You can be rid of Shareware
- rem delay the next day after you place your order.
- rem
- rem FIRST: to plug this BAT into Intellicomm, run Intellicomm's SETUP.EXE,
- rem press 'S' to move to the 'Screen/File Transfer' screen, press UP to move
- rem to the 'External Protocols' item, then enter the following information
- rem in one of the empty entries (it needn't be entry 1):
- rem │ Ask for File │
- rem │ Name/Description Hotkey Receive Cmd. Send Cmd. name on D/L? │
- rem │ │
- rem │ 1. HS/Link-MAIL S HSMAIL.BAT HSLINK.BAT No │
- rem
- rem For automated mail runs, all you must do is modify your BIF to use
- rem HS/Link-MAIL as the 'Send/Receive Mail' protocols (BIF screen 1, protocol
- rem section). Notice above that HSMAIL.BAT is used to receive, while HSLINK.
- rem BAT is used to send. This IS how it should be set up.
- rem If the BBS/mail system prompts you to select a protocol from its menu you
- rem should also enter the proper BBS Letter so Intellicomm can select HS/Link
- rem from the BBS protocol menu. As always, you must pick the proper "Message
- rem Type" and set the proper "Access Msg Menu" commands and packet names...
- rem See EXAMPLES.DOC for a quick tutorial on setting up for automated mail
- rem runs, if you've never done it. Next, modify or create a Job that performs
- rem a message download -- and DO NOT add a "Send Replies" task since use of
- rem HSMAIL.BAT on a download will automatically cause a bi-directional
- rem transfer, if the reply packet exists.
- rem
- rem !NOTE!: If you rename HSMAIL.BAT, Icom -will- screw up when it calls
- rem HS/Link during automated mail runs. Icom checks the Receive Cmd. item
- rem specifically for HSMAIL.BAT, and behaves differently if found (i.e. it
- rem sends your Message Dir and the proper -reply- filename on the command line
- rem rather than sending the message filename as with other protocols).
- rem
- rem YOU MUST PRECEDE THE HSLINK COMMAND WITH THE PROPER PATHNAME if HSLINK.EXE
- rem is not located on your PATH (e.g. C:\UTIL\HSLINK.EXE -B ...).
