// BGFTDXTL.SLT: Telix script for BGFT Xmodem-CRC or 1K download.
// Support Package for Registered Users of BGFT (TM).
// Copyright 1990-1991 Dirac Systems.
// Telix is a trademark of Exis Inc.
// MANUAL INSTALLATION:
// The following outlines how to install the script for use as an
// external protocol in Telix:
// Be sure that the resident part (BGFT360K.COM or BGFT720K.COM) of
// BGFT is loaded before the communications program. Add /B if
// you want Drive B:. The BGFT status window does not need to be
// active; it need only be resident.
// The batch file BGFTINIT.BAT is used to initialize BGFT prior to
// running Telix. This file must be edited to contain information
// about your modem's port number and baud rate prior to use
// (default is 1200 baud, port 1). You must run the batch file
// BGFTINIT.BAT to make sure that BGFT is set up properly. THIS
// MUST BE DONE before using BGFT as an external protocol under
// Telix. This is true even though the baud and port are set here.
// Put the right sized floppy (.720, 1.2, or 1.44 Megabyte DOS
// formatted, no errors for BGFT720K.COM ; the above or 360K DOS
// formatted, no errors for BGFT360K.COM) into the desired floppy
// drive. The floppy size must correspond to the drive type.
// Compile the BGFTDXTL.SLT by using the Telix compiler, CS, viz.
// CS BGFTDXTL
// This will produce BGFTDXTL.SLC for use in Telix.
// From terminal mode do 'Alt_O' for 'Configure Telix'.
// Choose 'Protocol Options'.
// 'Change which setting?': Choose one of the four external protocol
// options: A, B, C, or D.
// Key: When in the download operation, pressing this key will choose
// the protocol. The key should not be used elsewhere, eg. X (Xmodem).
// Choose 'B', for example. It will be highlighted for the Telix
// download operation.
// Protocol name: This is what will show up in the list of protocols when
// you choose the download operation. Call it, 'BGFTXmdm'.
// Upload file name: For this example, leave it blank.
// Download file name: Enter, BGFTDXTL. This will be the compiled script.
// BAT or Script: Choose 'Script' since BGFTDXTL.SLT is a script.
// DL name: Choose 'Y' for yes since you want Telix to pass the name of the
// file to the script. The script will get rid of Telix's download
// directory since BGFT only wants to put the filename on the floppy.
// ESC out of the screen and save the set up to disk by hitting 'W'. This
// get you back into Telix terminal mode.
// Download as you normally would (PgDn); tell the host to send via Xmodem-CRC.
// If being used for Xmodem-1K, BGFT will determine the correct packet.
// Choose the BGFTXmdm protocol using arrows plus an ENTER or by the Key
// defined above.
// The script will give some messages, start the background transfer, and
// exit Telix. You will be at the DOS prompt.
// You should see the BGFT window indicate normal transmission.
// Now you can do your work in foreground as the file is downloaded in
// background.
// After completion you can use BGFT.EXE to move your files to some DOS
// directory. The files are ready to use.
// Use BGFTOPT /3<Pathname> to dump downloaded files from the file buffer
// to a specified directory.
//
str command[80]; // Command string for BGFTOPT.
str temp[80]; // Temporary concatenation string.
int downdirlen; // Telix download drive:directory str length.
int extfilelen; // Telix external file maximum str length.
// The command we will issue to DOS is:
// BGFTOPT /q /a /r# /b# /~1 /dFn /s
// where:
// /q - quiet mode (don't printout results)
// /a - acknowledge any error that may be present
// /r# - select port # (eg. /r1)
// /b# - select baud # (eg. /b2400)
// /~1 - select protocol 1 (Xmodem-CRC and Xmodem-1K download)
// /dFn - set download filename Fn (eg. test.tst)
// /s - start the transfer
main()
{
command = "/q"; // Start command line.
strcat(command," /a"); // Acknowledge any error.
strcat(command," /r");
itos(get_port(),temp); // Find out where we are connected.
strcat(command,temp); // Reconnect existing comm port.
strcat(command," /b");
itos(get_baud(),temp); // Find out what is the baud rate.
strcat(command,temp); // Set baud rate for resident.
//
// BGFT requires a filename from Telix.
//
strcat(command," /d"); // Set up download.
downdirlen = strlen(_down_dir); // Get unwanted Telix dnld directory.
extfilelen = strmaxlen(_ext_filespec); // Get maximum length of Telix file.
substr(_ext_filespec,downdirlen,extfilelen,temp); // Shave off dnld dir.
strcat(command,temp); // Put BGFT filename in '/e' command.
//
// Xmodem-CRC or Xmodem-1K Download
//
strcat(command," /~1"); // This protocol is Xmodem-CRC.
// // Good for Xmodem-1K too.
strcat(command," /s"); // Start to send file.
prints(command); // Tell user the command string.
run("bgftopt.exe",command,2);
exittelix(0,0); // Leave Telix; don't hangup line.
} // Now enjoy background Xmodem dnld.
