BIprocfg.exe: Program that configures the extra options in PAMPA.
Beginning in v3.3 the extra configuration will be found in a
file called BIMPRO.CFG, this file must reside in the same
directory with BImodem.com (PAMPA).
If the file BIMPRO.CFG is not found, BIprocfg will create a
new one. Future releases will update the cfg as nedeed.
Use: Just execute BIprocfg. The program will search for BImodem.com
and BImpro.cfg, if BImpro.cfg is not found, a new one will be
created.
Once inside you will be at the main menu, there you will have
2 choices, "General CFG" & "Color CFG", the program has mouse
support if a driver is loaded.
BIprocfg has a built in help accesed by pressing F1
═════════════════════════════════════ ... ═════════════════════════════════
A touch of class: TXD & RXD flow is shown on-screen.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The capture header has been improved: remote telephone has been added.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Warning:
For the remote-scrollback function a temporal file will be
created, the file will be deleted when the session ends, it
must not be deleted when PAMPA is running.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Coming Soon:
-Leave a mail feature, for SysOps with an *.MSG msgbase.
-Capture resizing.
-whatever I can imagine...
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TNXS to:
Erik Labs: Genius, look at the protocol you have invented!
shame that you never finished your work...
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHY BImodem PRO?
The last official release of Bimodem is 1.24, it is almost 3 years old,
1 year ago the idea of building something like Bimodem came to me, but,
i wanted to make it better, so, here it is, a Bimodem 1.24 compatible
protocol, but with hundreds of features added, a protocol thats just
the best, it is PAMPA.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Legal Aspect:
In no way PAMPA is a Bimodem 1.24 hack, PAMPA it is a
newly developed program from scratch.
The software is FREEWARE, it must be distributed in a freely
way.
I should not be responsible for any problems that PAMPA can
cause you, the software is distributed as it is.
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CARDWARE!
The protocol is distributed free, if anyone has selled this
soft to you, you have been victim of a fraud.
The cardware idea is that the PAMPA users from all over the
world mail a postcard from your hometown as a symbol of support
you can send comentaries, ideas, salutes, etc. Come on! show
your support for the best protocol you can never BUY!
send your postcard to:
