SendCom
A PCBoard 14.5 Utility
Donated into the Public Domain
By Mark Herring
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SendCom is a little utility that will transmit a line of text
or a text file to a caller who is online. SendCom understands
PCBoard @x color codes and also translates many (but not all)
@variables.
Syntax:
SENDCOM [text | FILE=<filespec>
The command "SENDCOM This is a test" will transmit the string
"This is a test" to the caller online. If the display is
turned on from within PCBoard then this text is also displayed
on the sysop's screen. The command "SENDCOM FILE=WELCOME" will
transmit a file named "WELCOME" to the caller.
SendCom requires PCBOARD.SYS in order to find the communications
port address. If comport value is ZERO then SENDCOM will
attempt to open PCBOARD.DAT and find the comport address in this
file. SendCom will set the DOS error level to ONE if a carrier
was not present.
These PCBoard 14.5 @variables are supported by SENDCOM:
@Xnn PCBoard color codes
@CLS@ Clears the screen
@FIRST@ Caller's first name
@USER@ Caller's full name
@BPS@ Connect baud rate
@NODE@ Node number
@SYSDATE@ Current system date
@SYSTIME@ Current system time
If USERS.SYS is also found in the current subdirectory then
these @variables are also supported by SENDCOM:
@firstu@ First Name (all caps)
@city@ City
@password@ Password
@security@ Security Level
@confnum@ Current conference number
@dataphone@ Business/Data Phone
@homephone@ Home/Voice Phone
@msgleft@ Number of Messages Written
@msgread@ Number of Messages Read
@numtimeson@ Number of Times On
@proltr@ Default Protocol Letter
@timeused@ Time Used
@upbytes@ Total U/L Bytes
@upfiles@ Total U/L Files
@dlbytes@ Total D/L Bytes
@dlfiles@ Total D/L Files
SENDCOM also interprets CONTROL sequences too. For example,
"^G" will produce a beep on the caller's terminal. SENDCOM
also will replace any %VARIABLE% statement with the contents of
the DOS environment variable "VARIABLE".
Registration and support:
None needed. This program is donated into the public domain for
all to use. We've found it to be handy to use on our own
system. But we cannot guarantee that SENDCOM will work with
your system.
Instead of a registration fee, we request that if you are "in
the market" for an offline mail door system (Qmail Door), a
network mail handler (QNet), offline mail reader (Qmail DeLuxe²),
a fax gateway (PCB/FaxMail) or alphanumeric pager gateway (Pager)
or finally, a PCBoard/Usenet gateway (PCB/Usenet), please
consider purchasing one of our products.
I ask that if you do use SENDCOM that you leave a message
addressed to me on either our support system or SALT AIR telling
us how you are using it. I'm always interested in how our
systems are being used!
Thanks to all who have supported us in the past - we look
forward to serving your needs in the future!
