SYNTAX
======
SENDCOM /F filename
-- OR --
SENDCOM string
SENDCOM Supports PCBOARD @X commands. Program reads PCBOARD.SYS for
ANSI mode and Communication port. If you are using this program
locally SENDCOM will not attempt to send data to a communication port.
This program was designed for use in a multi-node environment using
PCBOARD version 14.5a. For earlier versions of PCBOARD you will get
an error if you attempt to use this program outside of the home
directory because it won't be able to find PCBOARD.SYS. For Single
nodes this is an easy fix... Placing a
APPEND C:\PCB
in the autoexec.bat file would fix that problem. SENDCOM could then
be executed from any directory. For multiple nodes you would have to
set the PCBDRIVE and PCBDIR environment variables.
The program gets the %PCBDRIVE% and %PCBDIR% environment variables and
picks up the PCBOARD.SYS file from there (allowing it to be used from
anywhere/anynode).
EXAMPLE <string>
=======
C>SENDCOM CR THIS IS LINE ONE CR this is line two CR this is line three
Would display the following on the remote and host terminal...
THIS IS LINE ONE
this is line two
this is line three
Where CR must have spaces on both sides. It will set a Carriage Return/Linfeed
and continue displaying line.
EXAMPLE <filename>
=======
C>SENDCOM /F filename
Will display the file "filename" if it finds it. If not an error message,
stating that the filename is missing, will appear on remote and host terminals.
The command line must be in the above sequence for the file function to work.
