New to this version:
The configuration file (QCom.CFG) has two new lines added.
The first allows the use of either DSZ or GSZ as the default transfer protocol.
Refer to line 20 in the new version of QCOM.CFG.
The next is on line 22 and allows you to enter whatever numeric parameters
you wish to pass to DSZ other than port and baud rate which are already
provided by QCom.
When Qcom prompts the user for a filename to upload, or to edit, or
when queueing a script, the user can either type in a single filename or
use a global file specification such as "*.*" or "*.txt". If a global
specification is entered, QCom will show a list of files based on that.
Selection is then made using the cursor keys.
QCom Setup (QS.EXE) has been modified to create a configuration file when
none exists.
Scripts can now put a message on screen. See the file QCom.SCR for
examples of how to use the ECHO command. If Ansi emulation is in effect,
the text can be located at a specific row and column and printed in any color
using standard ANSI escape codes.
Additionally, a script can change the communication parameters with this
usage: ;a-C Parameters (Parameters being in the format of Baud,Parity,Databits,
StopBits).
Eg. ;a-C 2400,N,8,1
QCom Host now comes with a "Help" screen for callers. It is in the form of
an ANSI encoded text file which can be edited if you have a suitable editing
utility such as TheDraw. If you need a monochrome non-ANSI version of this
file, TheDraw will create one by saving the help file in Ascii format.
The "Rules" on scripting have loosened up a little. Comment lines and
blank lines can now be used. Any line with NO SemiColon will be ignored
by QCom. Feel free to edit in comments or blank lines to make scripts more
readable.
