- Description.
-
- CISTRN looks and acts in most respects
- like the standard TELCOM program
- included in the Model 100 ROM. In
- fact, for the most part it is the
- TELCOM program. In a few places
- actions of TELCOM are intercepted to
- provide additional functions.
-
- CISTRN allows error free uploading and
- downloading using the CIS A protocol.
- This protocol is available on
- CompuServe for uploading to your own
- file space or downloading from your
- file space, public access or sig
- access. Programs are also available
- which allow uploading and downloading
- to CP/M based systems (and perhaps to
- others).
-
- To upload or download you must be using
- an 8 bit setting (e.g. m8n1e).
-
- To upload or download to your file
- area, go to programming (the OK prompt)
- and type
-
- r xftran
-
- You will be prompted for additional
- information.
-
- To download from public or sig access
- type
-
- dow <filename>
-
- where <filename> is the name of the
- file on CompuServe you wish to
- download. You will be prompted for the
- name on the Model 100.
-
- Only ascii files can be transfered.
- The extension on the model 100 is
- always .DO which need not be entered.
-
- All facilities of TELCOM may be used
- except the standard uploading and
- downloading of files. These do still
- appear on the label line, but will be
- ignored.
-
- The auto power off facility will not
- work in CISTRN, so be sure to exit
- and turn the machine off when you are
- finished. NEVER TURN OFF THE MACHINE
- WHILE IN CISTRN. This may hang the
- Model 100.
-
-
- Installation.
-
- You will need CISTRN.100 (CISTRN.BA on
- the Model 100), CISTRN.HEX (CISTRN.DO
- on the Model 100) and HEXLDR.BA. Run
- HEXLDR.BA. In response to the file
- name prompt, type
-
- CISTRN
-
- Loading will take a little while. At
- the end, you will have CISTRN.CO. You
- may then delete CISTRN.DO and
- HEXLDR.BA (keep copies on cassette for
- backup). To execute CISTRN just run
- CISTRN.BA.
-
-
- Known Deficiencies
-
- - ASCII capture and send (standard
- TELCOM up and down) are not
- available.
-
- - The Model 100 may hang if power is
- turned off in CISTRN.
-
- - It is not possible to leave CISTRN
- without disconnecting the built in
- modem.
