COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
To start the Telix program type the following while at the DOS
prompt:
Telix [O] [Q] [B] [Sfilename] [Cfilename] [Ffilename]
The letters in the square brackets are optional command line
switches affecting what Telix will do upon start-up. The
square brackets should not be entered. The order and case of
the options does not matter but they MUST be separated by at
least one blank.
Specifying the 'O' option upon start-up tells Telix that you
are already online (connected to a host systems), and that it
should not try to initialize the modem.
The 'Q' option in the command line chooses quiet mode for the
current session. When quiet mode is on Telix will not sound
any alarms (e.g., when a file transfer is over), no matter
what the default setting for alarms is. This is useful for
those late night sessions. Any bell characters sent by the re-
mote system are still sounded however.
Specifying 'B' in the command line forces Telix to use the
PC's BIOS for all screen write operations, whatever the de-
fault setting for screen writes might be. This is useful when
you want to run Telix in a multi-tasking environment such as
Desqview, Topview, or MS Windows for just one session.
The 'S' option indicates that a script file (explained else-
where) is to be run immediately upon start-up. The 'S' should
be followed immediately (no blanks) by the name of the script
file to execute.
The 'C' option indicates that another Telix configuration file
than the standard TELIX.CNF should be used. If it doesn't ex-
ist, it will be created. In this way, you may have multiple
configurations for Telix. The name of the configuration file
should immediately follow the 'C', and should include the ex-
tension.
The 'F' option indicates that another dialing directory (FON)
file than the default TELIX.FON should be loaded at start-up.
The name should immediately follow the 'F'. Note that another
dialing directory file may also be loaded from within Telix
(in the dialing directory screen).
Upon starting, Telix will display a title screen for a period
of 25 seconds or until you press a key. Please read the mes-
sage on the title screen carefully. After you are past the ti-
tle screen, you will be in 'terminal mode' unless Telix can't
find the configuration file (usually TELIX.CNF), in which
case it will ask you a few questions about your machine and
modem, and then will write a configuration file for you.
