Before you use this script, move your old script files dealing with
host to a temporary directory in case it doesn't work for you!
Files included in this zip file are:
file_id.diz (short description file).
host.mnu (reflecting change in directory option).
host.scc (compiled script for host).
host.scr (host mode script...only minor change).
hostcfg.scr (no change).
hostutil.scr (no change).
hostmsg.scr (no change).
hostfile.scr (allows listing of files for the changed directory).
hostdos.scr (contains the guts of the change directory option).
hostc.hlp (host on line help for change directory).
lookat.me (this file!).
An alternative HOST script for Qmodem Pro for Windows. This script
allows a user with sysop access to <C>hange directories and\or drives
much the same as the present <S>hell to DOS and then echoes the path
that was changed to. What makes this good is that the <F>ile Listing
command lists the files from the directory changed to (on host
startup, files are listed according to download path as specified in
host setup). If a user (with access of "1" and the sysop download from
any path box is checked in the host setup) wants to download a file
from a different drive and\or path then what is specified in the host
setup, all the user has to do is <C>hange Directory to the path
desired, do "dir" or do a <F>ile Listing to see the file they want, then
<D>ownload the file(answer the protcol question) just by typing in the file
name. No need to type in the full path although that is still possible.
The present path is listed for the user so they know that they are in
the path they desire when they type in the file name. Uploads are handled
according to upload path specified in host setup. Users with "0"
access have same privledges as before with uploads and downloads
handled again as specified by host setup. Change directory and Shell to
Dos are locked out for "0" access users. Floppy drives A and B are not
accessible from the change directory option. The nice thing about
this script is that the sysop can allow access to files anywhere
on the computer without the dangers that the Dos shell can bring
such as DELETE! The Shell can still be reserved for the sysop only
since a password is still required to access this option.
The "Chat" and "backspace" bugs have been fixed according to MSI
recommendations.
Hope someone can use this alternative and enjoy it. I sure had fun
putting it together!
