This means you will leave ClickComm in a state of pause and return to your operating system. To return to ClickComm, and carry on from where you left off, simply type EXIT at the command line. When ClickComm performs a DOS shell it saves all system settings and disables the interrupts. This does not mean that it hangs up the modem, only that the modem is on "hold". When shelling, ClickComm will use one of 3 methods, in the order stated below. If the system will not support, or cannot use a method, it will switch to the next. If it cannot use any of them it will send you an error message and not shell to DOS. 1 - Swaps to EMS 2 - Swaps to XMS 3 - Swaps to DISK - When ClickComm swaps to disk it creates a hidden file called CLICK.SWP. If you are doing disk maintenance through a shell from ClickComm. DO NOT erase this file. The result of this type of action will vary. Type EXIT to return to CLICK Microsoft(R) MS-DOS(R) Version 5.00 (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1991. G:\CLK> 5.271 - Exit This prompt simply asks you if you wish to exit from ClickComm.

In actuality, this is incorrect. Baud rate actually means the number of events per second that occur in a communications line. Since an event can contain info on more than one bit, such as with high speed modems, the baud rate could be quite different than the bit rate. At the serial port itself this analogy is quite correct. 5.322 - Data Bits A byte of data can contain 5,6,7, or 8 bits. Most applications use 7 or 8 bits. 5.323 - Parity Parity describes a bit checking scheme. When used, all of the bits are added together and a final bit, called the parity bit, is added such as the sum of all the bits is odd or even. The transmitter calculates and sends the parity bit, whereas the receiver calculates and compares the result against the parity bit sent. If the bit is equal then transmission was successful. 5.324 - Stop Bits Stop bits simply follow the data bits in a serial stream. 5.325 - Comports Comports are simply the serial port # that has been assigned to your modem. 5.326 - Buffer Size The buffer size is the amount of memory you wish to allocate for holding data as the system processes it. This definition will increase or decrease the efficiency of your system. 5.327 - Terminal Type Terminal type is the type of Terminal Emulation you desire. Refer to section 9.0 5.328 - Status This option simply states whether you want the status bar at the bottom of the screen. 5.329 - Echo This option defines whether you want the local characters you type to be displayed on the screen or not. It can also affect the way data is displayed from the host system depending upon the way the host is setup. 5.32A - XON/XOFF This turns on or off software flow control activation. Refer to section 11.0 5.32B - CTS/RTS This turns on or off this type of hardware flow control. Refer to section 11.0 5.32C - FIFO LVL This selects the level at which you want your FIFO chip to operate.

Refer to section 11.0 5.32E - Auto Z This turns on or off the automatic ZModem receive functionality of ClickComm. If it is turned on, when the host sends data using Zmodem, ClickComm will automatically start the ZModem protocol to receive the data. 5.33 General/Modem This module allows you to setup miscellaneous options that effect several features of ClickComm and your modem. Simply move the 'X' to the desired selection, or type in the value, and proceed to the next field. As you move from field to field you will notice the messages at the bottom of the screen will change. These are quick help messages.

This is really a fancy menu system when you get down to it. The only difference is that it will allow you to ask for prompts for filenames and a command line parameter to the batch file that is being called. This option could also be used for running programs other than protocols. What is an external file transfer protocol? An external file transfer protocol is a protocol that is not built into ClickComm but desired by the user. How do I setup an external protocol? Setting up an external protocol in ClickComm is quite easy. 1 - Read the documentation for the protocol. 2 - Create a batch file, with the commands for the protocol, that will accept command line parameter if defined. All batch files must reside in the ClickComm Directory. 3 - Fill in the external protocol values as defined below. Simply type in the value, and proceed to the next field.

What is Zmodem? Zmodem is a file transfer protocol that offers the best overall mix of speed, features, and tolerance for errors. The Zmodem protocol has many options and clearly was meant to have lots of room for growth. The purpose of the development of Zmodem was to provide a durable protocol with strong error recovery features and good performance over a variety of network types (switched, satellite, etc.). It has generally achieved these goals and, therefore, should be the protocol of choice whenever possible.

Turnaround delay is the time, in milliseconds, required for the remote system to acknowledge the last block. Generally, Zmodem doesn't have any turnaround delay at all, since its data subpackets do not require an acknowledgement. However, some Zmodem implementations may request such acknowledgements. This setting would be useful when dealing with satellite transmissions. 5.393 - Time Out Period This value describes how long Zmodem will routinely wait for the next character in a sequence. It does not control how long Zmodem will wait for the initial handshaking packet. 5.394 - Time Out Tries This value describes how many time outs Zmodem will sustain before aborting the session. 5.395 - Save Mode These constants are used to specify the desired file management options governing received files.

It is just a straight text/ASCII transfer protocol. The definitions for this protocol depend upon the definitions of the host system. XModem/XModemCRC This is one of the original binary file transfer protocols. If all else fails usually this will work. This uses 128 byte packets. XModem1k This is the same as XModem/XModemCRC except it uses 1024 byte packets. XModem1kG This is the same as XModem1k except it does not perform error correction. This should only be used on clean communication lines with error correcting modems connected at both ends. YModem YModem is basically the same as XModem1k except it allows Batch transfers of files. YModemG YModemG is basically the same as XModem1kG except it allows Batch transfers of files. ZModem ZModem is by far your best choice for binary file transfers. For more information refer to section 5.39 Kermit Kermit is used for systems that cannot handle certain circumstances. For more information refer to section 5.3C ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 7.0 - Host/Script Mode Interaction Starting a Script file is as easy as entering Terminal Mode, Pressing Alt - F10 and entering the script name. Refer to section 7.02 for creating a script file. Section 7.03 shows an example of a script file. ClickComm has a basic script language built into it. The scripts can handle the following: Host Mode Goto Statements (based on line numbers) Case statements Automatic ASCII/ANSI display of file Automatic ASCII/ANSI display of directory listings Automatic ASCII/ANSI display of General Text files Shells to Doors. Creates a Standard DOOR.SYS file Downloads to users using any of the protocols built into ClickComm User Input Maintaining a database of users information and passwords password verification The following is a list of the commands that are valid for a ClickComm Script: 7.01 - ClickComm Script File Command Statements There is only one file that must exist if using protocols. PROTS.HST. This is the menu for protocols. hostmode - Sets ClickComm into Host Mode goto(??) - Tells ClickComm Host to Goto to Line Number ?? dfile(fn) - Displays file (fn) to screen with no pauses input(txt |ABQ) - displays the prompt 'txt' to screen and prompts user A ?? for a key selection. The system will only accept the B ?? characters listed after the | sign. In this case the Q ?? valid keystrokes are ABQ. The next ?? lines after the input statement must be the corresponding characters followed by a spaces and then the line number to goto. You can only use characters A-Z for input keys. filelist(fn) - This option displays a file and after every 24 lines displayed it will prompt the user for: 'Enter = More, S = Stop, D = Download' if 'S' is pressed it will exit from that file display and process the following line. If Enter is pressed it will continue on with the listing. If 'D' is pressed it will display the file PROTS.HST and allow the user to select 1-8 or Q. 1 - ASCII 2 - XModem/XmodemCRC 3 - XModem1k 4 - XModem1kG 5 - YModem 6 - YModemG 7 - ZModem 8 - Kermit Q - Quit bulllist(fn) - This option displays a file and after every 24 lines displayed it will prompt the user for: 'Enter = More, S = Stop' if 'S' is pressed it will exit from that file display and process the following line. If Enter is pressed it will continue on with the listing. doorexit(fn) - This option tells the host to shell out, create DOOR.SYS and execute the filename fn. This procedure also calls its own copy of command.com. enter - This option simply displays The prompt 'Press Enter to Continue......' and waits for the user to hit enter. getusername(txt |??) - This option displays the 'txt' value to the screen and waits for the user to type in a value. It then checks the users file, 'USER.CLK', for a matching name. If a name is found, it will goto line ??. getpassword(txt |??) - This option acts exactly the same as getusername except that it does a check against the users password. If it matches, the host will goto line ??. username(txt) - This option asks the user for their username and stores it to the users record. addr1(txt) - This option asks the user for their address line 1 and stores it to the users record. addr2(txt) - This option asks the user for their address line 2 and stores it to the users record. addr3(txt) - This option asks the user for their address line 3 and stores it to the users record. city(txt) - This option asks the user for their city and stores it to the users record. prov(txt) - This option asks the user for their province/state and stores it to the users record. postal(txt) - This option asks the user for their postal/zip code and stores it to the users record. country(txt) - This option asks the user for their country and stores it to the users record. phone1(txt) - This option asks the user for their Phone #1 and stores it to the users record. phone2(txt) - This option asks the user for their Phone #2 and stores it to the users record. password(txt) - This option asks the user for the password they would like to use on this system and stores it to the users record. writeuser - This option tells the host to write the users record to the 'USER.CLK' database. done - This option tells the host to hangup and reset the modem. end - This statement must be the last entry in any script file. This signifies the end of the script file. 7.02 - Creating a ClickComm Script Creating a ClickComm Script is as easy as starting a text editor and placing a series of commands into the text file. After you have the script designed the way you wish. Save the text file into whatever name you wish and run the compiler against it. The compilers name is MAKESCR.EXE and the command line format is; MAKESCR [filename.txt] [filename.scr] ie: MAKESCR HOST.TXT HOST.SCR When you hit Alt - F10 type in the name HOST.SCR. If your script is not properly structured you will receive a runtime error and ClickComm will halt operation. If this occurs just edit the text file and fix the problem and re-compile the script. 7.03 - Example of a Script File. The numbers beside each command are not included in the script file. They are strictly for reference. This is an example of a host script. This script supplies the users with welcome screens, menus, file listings, bulletin listings, doors, and user verification. 1 hostmode - Put ClickComm into host mode 2 goto(27) - Goto line 27 3 dfile(files.mnu) - display a file named (files.mnu) 4 input(File Area: |ABQ) - Get users input allowing ABQ 5 A 8 - Case user chooses A goto line 8 6 B 10 - Case user chooses B goto line 10 7 Q 48 - Case user chooses Q goto line 48 8 filelist(files.1) - Display a list of files named files.1 9 goto(3) - goto line 3 10 filelist(files.2) - display a list of files named files.2 11 goto(3) - goto line 3 12 dfile(bull.mnu) - display a file named bull.mnu 13 input(Bulletin: |ABQ) - Get users input allowing ABQ 14 A 17 - Case user chooses A goto line 17 15 B 19 - Case user chooses B goto line 19 16 Q 48 - Case user chooses Q goto line 48 17 bulllist(bull.1) - display bulletin named bull.1 18 goto(12) - goto line 12 19 bulllist(bull.2) - display bulletin named bull.2 20 goto(12) - goto line 12 21 dfile(door.mnu); - display a file name door.mnu 22 input(Door: |SQ) - Get users input allowing SQ 23 S 25 - Case user Chooses S goto line 25 24 Q 48 - Case user chooses Q goto line 48 25 doorexit(sales.bat) - Shell out and run batch file sales 26 goto(21) - goto line 21 27 dfile(welcome.scr) - display file named welcome.scr 28 enter - display enter prompt and wait for CR 29 getusername(First and Last Name: |44)- Get username if match goto line 44 30 dfile(newuser.txt); - display file newuser.txt 31 username(First and Last Name: ) - display text,get username and store 32 addr1(Address : ) - display text,get address1 and store 33 addr1( : ) <---------------------------------- 34 addr1( : ) 35 city(City : ) These statements get user info 36 prov(Province/State : ) and store it until instructed to 37 postal(Postal Code : ) write it to the database. 38 Country(Country : ) 39 phone1(Business Phone : ) 40 phone2(Home Phone : ) 41 password(Password : ) <---------------------------------- 42 writeuser - write user record to the database 43 goto(48) - goto line 48 44 getpassword(Password : |48)- get password if correct goto line 48 45 getpassword(Password : |48)- " 46 getpassword(Password : |48)- " 47 goto(55) - goto line 55 48 dfile(main.mnu) - display file main.mnu 49 input(Selection: |FGBID) - get user input and allow FGBID 50 B 12 - Case user selects B goto line 12 51 D 21 - case user selects D goto line 21 52 F 3 - case user selects F goto line 3 53 I 55 - case user selects I goto line 55 54 G 58 - case user selects G goto line 58 55 dfile(welcome.scr) - display file named welcome.scr 56 enter - display enter prompt and wait for CR 57 goto(48) - goto line 48 58 done - hangup and reset modem 59 goto(1) - goto line 1 (back to host mode) 60 end - end of script ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 8.0 - Keystrokes Quick Index PgDn : Download Menu PgUp : Upload Menu Alt - A : Archive Menu Alt - C : Ascii File Transfer Options Alt - D : Dialing Directory Alt - E : External Protocols Setup Alt - F : File Path Options Alt - G : General & Modem/Dialing Options Alt - H : Send Hang-Up String Alt - I : System Information Alt - J : Modem Configuration Alt - L : Clear Screen Alt - M : Menu Alt - N : Colours Configuration Alt - O : Macro Definitions Alt - P : Print a File Alt - R : Read a file Alt - S : Shell to DOS Alt - T : Terminal Options Alt - U : Unarchive Menu Alt - V : Archive/Unarchive Utilities Alt - Z : ZModem Setup Alt - - : Change Mouse interaction with Terminal Alt - = : DoorWay Mode Alt - 1 : Macro 1 Alt - 2 : Macro 2 Alt - 3 : Macro 3 Alt - 4 : Macro 4 Alt - 5 : Macro 5 Alt - 6 : Macro 6 Alt - 7 : Macro 7 Alt - 8 : Macro 8 Alt - 9 : Macro 9 Alt - 10 : Macro 10 Ctrl-PgDn: Change Menu Bar F1 : Help Mouse Commands Right Click and DRAG to the right with CLICK/CR : Echos highlighted text to modem with a carriage return.

The system will then cycle through the entries you have selected. If you wish only to dial one number just place the highlight bar on the entry desired and press enter. The system will then cycle through this number until you either connect or abort the operation. Please Note: When you tag entries the system only dials the tagged items. It does not dial the highlighted entry unless it is also tagged. Multiple Dialing will present you with a dialing Box. This allows you multiple functions as well. For further information on the dialing box, enter into the dialing box and press F1.

They are: TTY : Straight ASCII Avatar 0+ : Avatar Level 0 Emulation Avatar 0+/ANSI : Avatar Level 0 Emulation with *ANSI Fallback Avatar 1 : Avatar Level 1 Emulation Avatar 1/ANSI : Avatar Level 1 Emulation with *ANSI Fallback ANSI : Standard ANSI Emulation (ANSI.SYS) ANSI-BBS : Standard ANSI Emulation with a couple of differences Developed for Bulletin Board Systems. On Status Bar 1 there is a display for the terminal emulation type that is currently active. The following is cross reference for these Types: TTY : TTY AVT0+ : Avatar 0+ AVT0+/F : Avatar 0+ with *ANSI Fallback AVT1 : Avatar 1 AVT1/F : Avatar 1 with *ANSI Fallback ANSI : ANSI ANSI-BBS: ANSI-BBS * - ANSI Fallback means that if you are in avatar mode and encounter a switch to ANSI, Avatar will switch over to ANSI Emulation until it resumes Avatar emulation. If you are on a system that uses strictly avatar, it is faster to use a non Fallback emulation. ANSI, ANSI-BBS ANSI in its simplest terms is a way of controlling colon and screen positioning of characters on your video screen. TTY TTY is a straight ASCII display of data to your screen. This means no colon and no screen positioning. The best example of this is to type an ASCII file to the screen. AVATAR A V A T A R Advanced Video Attribute Terminal Assembler and Recreator Avatar is a method of storing video control codes in a file sent to the caller which was meant as a replacement of ANSI escape codes. Its main advantages were: o The codes are smaller than ANSI, thus needing less disk storage space. o The codes are in the binary form easily interpreted by the computer (ANSI sequences use ASCII). o The same file can be sent to callers who do or do not have the ability of interpreting ANSI codes - in the former case the codes are first translated to ANSI, in the latter they are ignored. The Two Levels of Avatar Avatar is more than a video attribute controller. It is a protocol which, if need be, can totally eliminate the interference of line noise. However, this document is not concerned with the advanced topics of Avatar (which no program is using as of this writing). A full Avatar session with all its advanced features starts by exchanging the AVINIT packets. The caller sends a packet which describes the video capabilities of his/her system. It also contains the caller's name, password and some other optional information. It also tells the BBS if the user is calling in person or just emulating a BBS session with an Avatar terminal program. The called system (the BBS) replies to the AVINIT packet with a packet that informs the user of his current status, e.g. you can stay till 16:30 GMT, or you are denied access, or I am processing mail now but you can call back at 10:43 GMT, etc. Until such AVINIT packets are exchanged, only the Avatar commands that were part of the original oANSI codes can be sent from the BBS to the caller. The caller's term program should send no Avatar commands, with the exception of function key codes, before the AVINIT packets are exchanged. This assures that a BBS program which does not support full Avatar can still take advantage of the faster transfer of video codes using Avatar as opposed to ANSI escape sequences. It also permits the caller whose term program does not support full Avatar but can interpret the basic codes to take advantage of the term program's abilities. The two levels of Avatar then are: a full session and a basic session. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 10.0 - Mouse Interaction with Terminal Screen One of ClickComm's strongest features is its mouse interaction with the terminal screen. When a mouse is used with ClickComm, you can use your right mouse button to click and drag across characters anywhere on the screen. As you do this you will see that section of the screen being highlighted. Once you let go of the right mouse button, ClickComm will send those characters to the host system. Depending on the interaction mode, ClickComm will also add a carriage return, (Enter), on the end of the character(s). ClickComm has 3 modes of interaction: Off : No Interaction at All Click : Allow Click and Drag but do not send a carriage return Click/CR: Allow Click and Drag and send a carriage return Why do I need this functionality? This ability of ClickComm makes it easier for the handicapped to access the world of communications and it also makes it easier to do things like flag files and select menu options. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 11.0 - Hardware/Software Flow Control, and others There are 2 types of Hardware Flow Control available in ClickComm and 1 type of software flow control. Software Flow Control XON/XOFF This is a data flow control method. It is Software based. This simply allocates a data buffer in the system memory. When the buffer becomes 75% full it sends a signal to the other system to stop the data flow. Once the buffer is down to 25% it then sends another signal to resume the data flow. Hardware Flow Control CTS/RTS CTS: Clear to Send RTS: Request to Send This is a hardware flow control method. This uses a data buffer that exists in your modem hardware. When the buffer becomes 90% full it sends a signal to the other system to stop the data flow. Once the buffer is down to 10% it then sends another signal to resume the data flow. DTR/DSR DTR: Data Terminal Ready DSR: Data Set Ready This is a hardware flow control method. This uses a data buffer that exists in your modem hardware. When the buffer becomes 90% full it sends a signal to the other system to stop the data flow. Once the buffer is down to 10% it then sends another signal to resume the data flow. Other Definitions DCD - Data Carrier Detect This is a hardware register that gets set high when your modem has made a connection with another modem. This allows ClickComm to determine whether it is still connected. ============================================================================= ============================================================================= 12.0 - Serial Port Pinouts PC, AT, and PS/2 serial ports provide connections in two different formats: 9-pin and 25-pin.
