JB-LEARN
Version 1.1
for {COMMO} Version 6.4X
Copyright (C) 1995, Jeff Bishop
January 22, 1995
Introduction
I have always loved writing {COMMO} macros. My first major
macro project (JBHOST) was just the beginning. I wrote that
and have used it ever since for all kinds of activities.
After examining other telecommunication programs to see what
could be added to {COMMO} I came up with the idea of writing
a automatic learn macro for {COMMO}.
The {COMMO} macro language is very complex. Many users have
been scared of it due to this fact. I thought to myself
"what could I do to make it easier". I decided to write a
macro that would create {COMMO} macros for login activities
(or any activity the user wishes). After weeks of work, JB
Learn was born to satisfy this requirement/need.
What Can JB-Learn do?
JB-Learn has the following features:
- A very solid learn engine to create ready-to-run macros
after learn mode is complete.
- A learn data file capacity to make future learning more
intelligent. The learn macro learns as you use it. This
is a first in the BBS community. Find another learn
engine that can do that (except CS-LEARN for {COMMO}).
The user has complete control as to what it learns.
- The learn data file will process {COMMO} variables for
you. This gives you even more power. This allows for great
flexibility when using CS-MAC since it defines a wealth of
variables that you can use.
- Have complete control of your learning experience. You
make the decisions if you want to. This provides the
ability to correct mistakes that the learn can not
handle. This provides the ability to create very solid
macros. Just think, you tell the teacher what to do and get a
better grade for it.
- Automatic detection of front end mailers. No need to
press <ESCAPE> twice any more (even during learning) as long as
EMSI protocol is being used.
- The learn can automatically try to log you in without
user intervention. This is similar to most other
conventional learn engines available in other
communication programs.
- The ability to add SSLOOK logic in your macros. This will make them
more stream lined for those nagging prompts often seen on BBS's.
- The macro is FREE for your use. The source code is very
well commented for a great learning experience.
Files Included in This Package
The following files are included in this release:
FILE NAME Description
DESC.SDI A BBS description file.
FILE_ID.DIZ A BBS description file.
JB-LEARN.DOC This is the documentation for JB-Learn.
JB_LEARN.HIS This is the history file for JB-Learn.
JB-LEARN.MAC This is the actual JB-Learn macro file.
LEARN.DAT The JB-Learn data file.
MY_COMMO.MAC A sample COMMO.MAC file with hooks for JB-Learn in it.
README.JBL This file you are reading.
Read the JB-LEARN.DOC file for installation instructions. It is best to
review the entire documentation before using this tool. It is complex and
does require some setup depending on your BBS activities.

Getting JB-Learn Updates
JB-Learn is distributed in two different packages. I am distributing it
as a stand alone package and it is also in the CS-MAC package (version 13
and above). If you are reading this from the CS-MAC archive, this may or
may not be the latest one. Use the information below to get the latest
and greatest version.
If you have access to the internet, you can use ftp to get JB
Learn. Ftp to ftp.primenet.com. Login as anonymous and send
your e-mail address as the password. Once logged in, cd to
/users/j/jbishop/commo. Once here, get the file jbl-*.zip. This
will get you the latest version. You are also welcome to get the latest
version of CS-MAC here as well. Get the file cs*.zip.
If you wish, you can also ftp to ftp.nlbbs.com. Login as anonymous and
send your mail address as password. Once here, cd to /pub/cs-mac.
If you do not have access to the internet, you can log in to
the Demodulator BBS. The phone number is 1-602-290-2807. Use
'COMMO RELEASE' as your first and last name. Use 'guest' as the
