MAIL SCRIPT INFORMATION FOR TELIX AND GENERIC
Here is sample batch file to use the script:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rem this is a sample batch file which could be used, renaming directory
rem names and the like, to run the telix script. PCRELAY would be
rem replaced with whatever name you're using.... and drive letters also.
rem this is only one of many ways to do it. I do it several ways...
rem you may wish to call PCRELAY directory FINET
@echo off
j:
cd j:\PCRELAY
copy lastread.net lastread.bac
copy lastread.net j:\pcrelay\save
copy *.id j:\pcrelay\save
copy id.* j:\pcrelay\save
EXPORT.EXE
c:
cd C:\PCRtelix
copy freedom.rly j:\pcrelay\save\out.rly
rem this is where telix is run with script.
telix snew
copy IN.RLY g:\pcrelay
j:
cd j:\PCRELAY
IMPORT.EXE
E:
cd\rbbs

GENERAL SCRIPT INFORMATION:
--------------------------
The finet1 script is user supplied and works well. Finet2 is an
idea and works... finet3 script is the safest with respect to connect
times and so on but is more complex but is not finished yet. It works
except does not yet download IN.RLY. A little work should make this a
great script for TELIX. It does get to upload the nodeid.zip packet,
but does not yet receive the in.rly.
FINET NETHUB only provides the connection; while we try to help with
scripts, that is the relaying sysop's responsibility. Feel free to
modify any of these to customize them for your application. Another node
here uses robocomm with good result. You can contact node RESOURCE for
more information on robocom.
sequence for script is basically:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(from batch file you've run pcrelay "EXPORT")
1 Dial and log in
1a you might wish to send an <enter> keystroke in case the opening
screen is unusally long and sends a "continue" more prompt.
2 at "RST name?" prompt send turbo login sequence (including ";"):
firstname;lastname;password;!;d;fihub;/G^M
(where ^M is the <enter> or crlf character. this lets you login fast
using one line and command and log off after done!)
3 at the "fe64" or "*" zmodem prompt upload your node_id.rly packet
4 wait for download packet preparation or download zmodem prompt:
a "*" again or "dd38" and receive zmodem IN.RLY packet
5 Door drops DTR and logs you off, you execute local "hangup"
6 back up in.rly packet in comm dir and lastread.net file in pcrelay!
7 resume pcrelay batch file and issue "IMPORT" command.

Notes on TELIX script to dial into Freedom Infonet RBBS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of the three scripts given here, FINET2.SLT works fine. FINET1 works
but is crude. Neither of these check to see how long you have been
connected on line in case something goes wrong. FINET3.SLT works up to
the point of receiving IN.RLY and needs to be fixed. The rest of it
works. This approach places a timer limit on log in, upload time and
download load, and so on, which can save phone bill in case something
goes wrong. If I could find someone interested in testing it, then I
could finish it. Feel free to finish or modify or adapt any of these.
These scripts assume that PCRELAY will delete IN.RLY from the Telix
directly after import. FINET2.SLT works. Normal PCRELAY import
operation always deletes the IN.RLY from the communications directory.
If your setup does not, then you will have to add a line to the batch
file to do so, or the new IN.RLY will not be downloaded if the old
IN.RLY is there.... You can always add a line before the download, to
shell to dos and delete a file if it already exists, to help bullet
proof the script.
The line to add early in the main script before dialing out! is
observe case:
dos("if exist c:\telix\IN.RLY del c:\telix\IN.RLY",0);
however, PCRELAY when successful, always deletes IN.RLY after export.
this would be in case for some reason PCRELAY failed....
YOU CAN ALSO ADD SIMILAR LINES TO RENAME IN.RLY TO A BACKUP FILE IN.1
dos("if exist c:\telix\IN.RLY rename IN.RLY in.1",0);
Script source code needs to be compiled, since SALT is a language.
With Telix' CS.EXE in your path or directory, type
CS scriptname
If the script name is finet2.slt, the program will create finet2.slc.
