- INSTALLING HS/LINK EXTERNAL PROTOCOL
- IN ULTRABBS VERSION 2.08
-
- Please refer to the UltraBBS manual for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. This information was tested
- with HS/Link betas posted on 11/21/91 and UltraBBS version 2.08.
-
- The following installation steps should work for most folks:
-
- Place a copy of HSLINK.EXE and the provided HS.BAT file in your
- main C:\UBBS directory.
-
- Run SETUP.EXE and cursor down to EDIT CURRENT PROTOCOLS FILE and
- press enter.
-
- Press ALT-I to insert a new protocol.
-
- For "Letter:" enter "H".
- For "Name:" enter "HS/Link"
- For "Type:" enter "B"
- For "@ Support?" enter "Y"
- For "DSZ.LOG?" enter "Y"
- For "Download/Bidir BAT file" enter "HS.BAT"
- For "Upload BAT file" enter "HS.BAT"
-
- Exit the setup program.
-
- This should get you set up in under 10 minutes.
-
- You can edit the 'HS.BAT' batch file to include options on the
- HSLINK command line, but most folks won't need to change anything.
- If your system does not use the standard C:\UBBS\BATCH batch upload
- directory, you will need to edit both batch files and change
- references to C:\UBBS\BATCH to whatever is used in your
- installation.
-
- If your system can't keep up with the COM port while accessing the
- disk drive, you may want to add -HS to both lines. If you want to
- experiment, there are a number of optional parameters you can read
- about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW.
-
- Contents of HS.BAT
- ------------------
- rem HSLINK UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD UNDER ULTRABBS 2.08
- hslink -p%1 -hs @%3 -uC:\UBBS\BATCH
-
- When testing UltraBBS version 2.08 in this configuration I found
- that the last file in a download batch was never actually included
- in the batch. This appears to be a bug in UBBS, which may be
- corrected in later versions.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for any damages resulting from these instructions.
- If you get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come
- with UltraBBS and with HS/Link. If all else fails, call up the
- Tool Shop and ask for help on the Support Conference. Either I
- will help you, or somebody else will know the answer and give you a
- hand.
-
- Good luck!
