A ProComm v2.0 Script File for the D&D BBS
The file DAD.ASP is my version of a script file to logon to
the D&D BBS and then do the following:
1. Check to see if there is a QWK mail packet in the
subdirectory where you store your QWK files and rename it before it
gets overwritten by a new QWK file. The filename of the old QWK
file is D&mmddS, where mm is the month taken from the old QWK file
date, dd is the day of the month of that file and S is a sequence
letter (i.e., A,B, etc.). I don't know what happens if you get QWK
files on two separate calls to a BBS in the same day, so I included
that extra identifier for safety. In the QMail and MarkMail doors,
successive downloads within the same call to the BBS name the files
QW0, QW1, etc., and you have to rename them before your mail reader
can access them (at least, if you use EZ-RDR you do!). I don't know
what Kmail does, since I've never downloaded two packets in the same
day.
2. Check to see if there is a file of reply messages,
D&DPCB.REP, to upload. If so, the call to Kmail which follows
uploads your reply packet first and then downloads the QWK file of
messages you want to read.
3. If no REP file is present, the call to Kmail only
downloads the QWK file.
4. After up/downloads are complete, the script file
returns to the main conference, and then is closed.
I have tried to indicate all lines in the script file which
may have to be changed to match your setup when using ProComm and
up/downloading mail packets. In addition, there are a few lines
which assume you have a color monitor which may have to be changed,
and you may wish to modify the file transfer protocols I have used.
In any event, I hope this is useful for those of you who are
wedded for one reason or another to ProComm. Don't forget you have
to compile this ASP file using ASPCOMP before it can be executed.
Leave me a message if you try this out and have troubles.
