RoboDUN: Dial-Up Network Script Utility V0.61 May 5, 1995 by Mark Gamber For Windows 95 Release version: May be freely distributed. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| IMPORTANT: Make sure RoboDUN is NOT running when installing a new version! |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Thank you for trying RoboDUN! Please read this file before installing or using RoboDUN. Refer to the online help file for more information on RoboDUN operation. Users of non-English Windows should refer to the "Troubleshooting" section for instructions on getting RoboDUN to work with a localized version and Compuserve PPP users should refer to the "RoboDUN Scripts" section for a sample login script using the new "7Bit" command. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| To begin using RoboDUN, decompress the "RoboDUN package" and use the following installation directions. Two methods are available. Well, one really. The other is "copy everything!". Read both before deciding. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| StartUp Group Installation Open Control Panel and start the "Add / Remove Programs" item. From the "Add / Remove Programs" dialog box, select the "Windows Setup" tab and then select the "Have Disk" button. When prompted, enter the full filename for robodun.inf and select "OK". The rest of the installation should be automatic. The "daemon" utility is added to the StartUp folder, all programs are added to the "RoboDUN" folder. To uninstall the program, close RoboDUN and simply repeat this procedure but, in the "Add / Remove Programs", find the utility listing, uncheck it and select "OK". The program and all parts should then uninstall. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Manual Installation Copy everything included with this package to a common directory and add the programs to whatever shell you use like you would any other program. Add ROBODUN.EXE to the StartUp group if you would like it to start automatically. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| IMPORTANT if updating from version 0.5x or earlier! RoboDUN now keeps scripts in the registry for security and performance reasons. Text files are no longer used but converting them to use with this release is simple. Start Notepad and load a script file, copy all the text from the script file and open a RoboDUN script editor window. Paste the script into the window and select "Save" to save the script and the old script is now in the registry and ready for use. See online help for more information on the script editor and how scripts are managed. Because the scripts are registry based, be safe and keep your scripts someplace safe in a file, in case the registry becomes corrupt or deleted in the future. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Troubleshooting When contacting the author with questions concerning RoboDUN, please include the script in question and the text which appears in the post-dial window when you log into the network manually. These items are crucial in determining where a problem is happening and how to correct it. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Compuserve: 76450,2754 Internet: markga@epix.net
