- CIL20KIT # 1
-
- by Rob Brown a.k.a. "The Speed Merchant"
-
- This is a kit that allows you to quickly add 20 externally driven protocols,
- several Shells, interface for editors, file managers, TSR and run-time file
- taggers to Cedar Island Link. CIL is a DOS, DV, or Windows communications
- program with AWESOME mouse support. Even run CIL in a small (Virtualized)
- window in DesqView or Windows 3.1, and the RODENT still works !!! CIL20KIT
- allows Color or Mono. NOTE : the COLOR version requires ANSI services, as
- in ANSI.sys, the MONO version does not.
-
- This KIT, as well as some of the protocols and programs use the
- environment extensively ! You should have around 200 bytes of
- environment space free. The SHELL statement in config.sys is used
- to set the environment. I recommend /E:1024, although a lot less
- is ok. The DOS default is not enough !
-
- Cedar Island Link - Cedar Island Software by Mike Caughran
-
- Current version of Cedar Island Link : CILNK252.ZIP.
-
- If you haven't seen Cedar Island Link you are missing one of the best
- treats in on-line communications.
-
- A Mouse is not required for CIL, it is NICE !
-
- (See KITFILES.LST for a quick listing of files included in this kit.)
-
- ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕ
-
- How to set up : If you have all desired files this could take 4 or
- 5 minutes !
-
- Copy either KITCOLOR.BAT or KITMONO.BAT to the EXTUPx.BAT or
- EXTDOWNx.BAT you desire to use for CILINK. DO NOT use EXTUP4.BAT
- or EXTDOWN4.BAT for this KIT !!! The "4" bats do not shell to EMS,
- XMS, or DISK, so there will not be enough memory to use the KIT.
- Either 1, 2, or 3 is OK. You only need to use ONE of the availble
- EXTERNALx.bat Options for the KIT. The BATs that are called by KIT
- allow user selected upload or dowload !!!
-
- Copy to another name, I use EXTDOWN2.BAT and 2.BAT. If I shell
- using the F10 - U - DOS Shell option in CIL, it is easier to
- type 2 than to type EXTDOWN2 to activate the kit.
-
- 1. Copy all files in KIT to the CILINK directory.
-
- 2. Copy KITCOLOR.BAT or KITMONO.BAT to the EXTERNALx.bat you
- desire and also an easy to type name like 2.bat. Remember
- if you use 2 names and change one, copy that one to the
- other name !
-
- 3. Edit SETS.BAT, self explanantory. Use CIEDIT or any editor
- that saves in ACSII format.
-
- 4. For simple setup, put all desired drivers and support files
- in the CILINK directory. You can use a directory on the PATH,
- however you may experience problems if you are not familiar
- with setting protocols to run from the non-default directory.
-
- 5. For the protocols listed below that have a setup routine as
- SZCONFIG.EXE or HSCONFIG.EXE, run them before using. All of
- those with a setup are EZ ! These are :
-
- MPT - MPTSET.EXE HS/Link - HSCONFIG.EXE
- SZ - SZCONFIG.EXE Bi-modem has different ones.
-
- (The other protocols need no setup !)
-
- Note : You can edit SETS.BAT and even the name(s).bat you
- used while in the KIT !
-
- Note : If you have a High Speed Modem , no fancy UART, a
- SLOW computer AND if you get errors using TMODEM,
- ZMAX, or Zmodem ITC, then and only then, edit the
- TBOTH.BAT, ZMAXBOTH.BAT, ZITCBOTH.BAT. What to do
- is easy and is at the top of the bat file. AGAIN
- only if ERRORS occur !!! If you have a real fast
- setup, you can tweak ZMAX by altering the -S
- parameter in the ZMAXBOTH.BAT file, description
- of cahnge is in the file.
-
- Note : Non-REGISTERED DSZ/GSZ do not allow DOWNLOAD paths for any
- supported protocols except the Xmodem-k and Xmodem flavours.
- Edit DSZBOTH.BAT and GSZBOTH.BAT to allow DOWNLOADS to end
- up where you want. This is near the end of file ! REGISTERED
- DSZ/GSZ users do not do this !
-
- ............. (represents lines before driver name)
- ............. (represents lines before driver name)
- C: ; Drive you want
- CD\DOWNLOAD ; Directory you want Downloads to end up in.
- %CIL%\DSZ p %P speed %LR% ha both rz -rrm %ZDL%
- C: ; Drive where CILINK is
- CD\CILINK ; Directory where CILINK is.
- :END
- EXIT
-
- DSZBOTH.BAT, GSZBOTH.BAT, ZYMOBOTH.BAT, GYMOBOTH.BAT, ZYMGBOTH.BAT,
- GYMGBOTH.BAT, ZXKGBOTH.BAT, and GXKGBOTH.BAT may all be altered
- this way....
-
- You can also use this with DSZTERM.BAT (DSZTRMMO.BAT is Mono verson)
- and GSZTERM.BAT (GSZTRMMO.BAT is mono version) to allow downloads
- where you want. If you have REGISTERED DSZ or GSZ, edit the TERM bats
- mentioned above and add %ZDL% on end on command line. I could not
- include these or you because the terminal aborts if called with
- unsupported parameters. You might also add 8g as in -rrm8g to the
- -rrm already on the command line to support ANSI graphics (only
- REGISTERED DSZ/GSZ).
-
- I use the DSZ Terminal as a quick way to dial out for mail and
- files. Term requires only 80K and you can run the entire kit
- from DOS if you want, do not need to be in CIL to use !

-
- Protocols supported directly by this KIT :
-
-
- DSZ/GSZ - by Omen Technology. Zmodem, Ymodem-g, True Ymodem,
- Xmodem-1K-g (Qmodem), Xmodem-1K, Xmodem CRC, Xmodem
- OVER TRUSTER (DSZ only), and Omen Terminal mode.
- Actually slower than most of the others supported
- by this kit. No setup required.
-
- HS/Link - by Sam Smith. High Speed Bi-Directional protocol with
- CHAT function. If sending and receiving as the same
- time this is the fastest. Also very fast in a single
- direction. Look for HS113C5.zip or later. Run
- HSCONFIG.exe to setup, EZ !.
-
- Bi-Modem - Includes calling BAT for those that already use
- Bi-Modem. Pretty fast at 2400 to 9600 Baud. Look
- for BIMOD124.zip or later.
-
- Tmodem - Tmodem by International TeleCommunications. Faster
- than DSZ/GSZ with better error correction. If you
- need a protocol for speed on bad lines use this !
- Supports Tmodem 7.20 up. TMOD900.zip is last version
- as of 10-21-92. No setup required.
-
- Z ITC - Zmodem by International TeleCommunications. Faster
- than DSZ/GSZ, supports Turbo mode, compatible with
- DSZ/GSZ and SZ. with excellent error correction.
- No setup required.
-
- Super Z - Super Zmodem (SZ) by Scott Baker. Faster than DSZ/GSZ,
- and allows DOS work and you can CHAT or play games
- while transferring files. Compatible with DSZ/GSZ and
- many other Zmodem implementations. SZMOD200.zip with
- SZSUP200.zip is last known version. Run SZCONFIG.exe
- to setup, EZ !
-
- ZMAX - Zmodem implementation by Mike Bryeans. Not compatible
- with DSZ/GSZ, however very FAST with good error
- correction. Can be used in non-streaming mode for
- good speed on noisey lines (setup here is streaming
- yet can easily be changed, just add -A to command line).
- No setup required. Last known version is ZMAX320.zip.
-
-
- MPT - Mpt by Matthew Thomas. Exceptional speed and error
- correction. Last known version MPT110.zip. Run
- MPTSET.exe to setup, EZ !
-
- 9 other protocols are easily added using the ?BOTH.BAT files.
- i.e. DBOTH.BAT or EBOTH.BAT.
-
- All the protocols that allow Auto-resume, keep aborts, over-write
- files, and use @files.lst have those features enabled by this KIT.
- -g protocols require an MNP modem. A 16550AFN UART or Intelligent
- equivalent UART is desired for High Speed Modems and/or Multi-
- Tasking, although not absolutely required.

-
- Shells directly supported : (2 additional shells are easily added)
-
- HSLSHELL - by Roger Kirchoff. Shell for HS/Link, can tag files,
- edit HSLFILES.LST, del list, start HS/Link. HSLSHELL.zip
- is last known version. Run HSLSHELL and select (S) settings,
- edit as needed then exit to save. Mine is :
-
- C:\CILINK\HSLINK @HSLSHELL.LST -P1

- copy this to files.lst or copy files.lst to
- hslshell.lst from within the kit.)
-
- TAGFILE - by Tom Hansen. Upload or Download with Zmodem, Ymodem-g,
- True Ymodem, HS/Link, Bi-Modem, and one user defined
- protocol. Allows upload file tagging editing, DOS
- shell, and can even add file descriptions to Zips.

-
- TSR file taggers directly supported ( you can use others.)
-
- TAGIT - by Tim O'Pry of Micro Business Consultants. Last know version
- TAGIT11.ZIP (this is my favorite). Allows on-line and off line
- file tagging with options to read or write to file. Hot key
- is ALT SPACEBAR and uses 18K memory.
-
- TAGIT /S ; loads and turns off beeps
- CILINK ; run CIL
- TAGIT /U ; Unload
-
-
- TAGGER - by E. J. Blayer. Online and off line tagging for uploads
- and downloads with good Mouse support. ALT Z is default
- hot keys, can be user defined. TAGGER37.zip is last
- known version. Also allows block and cut, usefull
- for online meesaging and other functions.
-
- TAGGER CILINK ; loads TAGGER and CILINK
- When you exit CILINK, TAGGER will unload.
-
- FILETAG - by Gasner & Associates. Online and Offline tagging for
- uploads and downloads. Default hot keys are ALT Z, can
- be user defined. Allows read and write to file with
- file edit. LAst know version is FTAG30.zip. Run
- FTCONFIG.exe and set data directory to CILINK dir, i.e
- C:\CILINK.
-
- FILETAG /L ; loads
- CILINK ; run CIL
- FILETAG /U ; unloads
-
-
- Note : A directory listing of any desired path can be performed
- while in the KIT. You can also use the TSR file taggers
- to Mark meesages during a quick scan and use the file
- tagger to recall those you want to read. I use this on
- BBS's that do not support (or if I don't use) a QWK
- mail door.
