John, I can't make the switch to 4.2 Unless you can help with why
my ICEX scripts won't fly with 4.2 But fly easyily with 4.1B
in an attempt to help you remote control diagnose the problem
here is step by step.
Icex206 has a script generator for all the popular programs like
yours. It has worked fantastic witn 4.0 And 41.A and 41b
I use the alt j to redefine shift f1 and shift f2 to call up
wither the 2400 script or the 1200 script. Going in to alt j
and choosing 2 in the fields for shift f1 I put @script
icex-24.Qms in the fields for shift f2 I put @script icex-12.Qms
saving my work and dropping back to terminal mode I press shift
f2 and here is what comes up on the screen.
Script error type setcom keyword (s) expected file
d:\qmodem\script\icex-24.Qms line setcomcjlm press any key to
edit.
Now here is the actual script that icex generates.

Unless you're able and willing to edit the generated script file
every time, Tandy, this one is going to take an ICEX upgrade to
fix.
Changes in script languages often "break" script generators and
prepackaged scripts. Bang on Wayne Wolf on The Right Place and
get
him to change his SETCOM command to the current format. (As is
probably documented, SETCOM now takes keywords rather than the
letters it used to take. That's what the error msg is trying to
tell
you.)
The price of progress. The benefit, tho, is that SETCOM arguments
won't have to change in the future when new baud rates or other
items
are added to the AltP menu.

-> PCPursuit which requires you go to the ICEX program externally
using the DOS shell. I notice the words 602135 bytes to disk
and the fact that it takes 20-25 seconds to get from Qmodem to
DOS and when ICEX does all the PCPursuit work, another 20-25
seconds to exit ICEX to get back to QMODEM.
The Shell is writing DOS memory to disk. You can try turning
Optimum Shell OFF to speed it up (at the expense of free memory
for the Shell).

TM▌One problem though. I do use PCPursuit to search the BBS'
before I
TM▌switch over to AT&T with a HST for downloading. I use ICEX to
access
TM▌PCPursuit which requires you go to the ICEX program externally
using
TM▌the DOS shell. I notice the words 602135 bytes to disk and the
fact
TM▌that it takes 20-25 seconds to get from Qmodem to DOS and when
ICEX
TM▌does all the PCPursuit work, another 20-25 seconds to exit
ICEX to get
TM▌back to QMODEM. I'm sure the new manual might have something
to say
TM▌about it - but you are backlogged manual-wise. Any
suggestions?
You need to check the optimum shell in setup. It's under
ALT-n/o/r. If optimum shell is on and disk shell is on,
then Qmodem will swap as much of itself to disk BEFORE
running ICEX, and must reload AFTER.
Change these to no (you shouldn't need the extra memory
with ICEX, and let it rip. You shouldn't have much of a
delay.
