     PREFACE
     -------

     Welcome to Another break in the wall of Communications its ZyRion, a
     powerfull Filetransfer protocol.

     This Documentation will  help you to Install and  interface ZyRion to
     other communication products, like Terminals & BBS Systems.

     If you have still problems after reading this document then I want to
     know all about it.

     You can call one of the systems listed in "Sites.txt".

     INSTALL
     -------

     First "ofcource" unpack the orginal distribution package into a sub -
     directory of your choice.

     For example :

     C:\MD ZYRION
     C:\CD ZYRION
     C:\ZYRION> ARJ E C:\NEWFILES\ZR245L1.ARJ

     Now you need to "EDIT" your "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file, and add this statement

     SET ZSE=C:\ZYRION

     Also include a Path statement, IF needed.

     SET PATH=C:\ZYRION

     At this point you are ready to - REBOOT - so that the  new Environments
     are active.

     SETUPn
     ------

     Second type again :

     C:\CD ZYRION
     C:\ZYRION> ZYRION SETUPn "Where n=COM1 - COM8 as integer."

     For Example IF you want to Setup ZyRion for COM4 type

     C:\ZYRION> ZYRION SETUP4

     If you have more lines, then simple Setup ZyRion for each line as above
     the range is from 1 - 4 [ UNREGISTERED ], and from 1 - 8 [ REGISTERED ]!


     SETUP CONFIGURATION
     -------------------

     Third step, now  you need to tell ZyRion how your configuration need to
     look like.


     WALK WITH ME AND LETS SETUP ZYRION!
     -----------------------------------

     Here you need to Enter YOUR FULL name, Will be verified if you have
     a "KEY"!

     Owner Name Verification [ First and Lastname ]............>

     Here you can change the default Async I/O Buffer Size, by Default -
     this is 4096.
     Don't use to big buffers, IF you decide to change the default!

     I/O Buffer Size in bytes  [ Press ENTER for Default ].....>


     IF you use a HIGH SPEED Modem, then you'll need to enter here the
     MAX. DTE Rate in Bits Per Seconds, For Example >38400

     IF Locked the -C parameter need to be used, otherwise the -B Parameter
     for this purpose more later in this documentation.

     Locked Rate in Bits Per Second [ Press ENTER = NON ]......>


     Enable/Disable Write Buffer, this option is Default Disabled, however
     IF Enabled it CAN improve your CPS rate!
     IF Enabled it will use an 32 Kbyte RAM Buffer between the I/O Matrix
     System of ZyRion and your HardDisk.

     Enable W_Buffer [ 32 Kb -- Default = OFF ] y/N............>


     This option will Enable a security LOG so you can see who has called
     with a Valid KEY or DEMO KEY or UNREGISTERED.
     By Default this option is ON, Enabled, but IF you don't need it you -
     can Disable it.

     Enable Security Log (Create "Secure.log") Y/n.............>


     IF you have a 16550AFN or other 16550 type installed then you should
     type Y at this point to take advange of the FiFo Buffers!

     Use Fifo Buffers [ 16550A..] Only Y/N.....................>


     By Default ZyRion uses Direct Screen writes, but you can Disable this
     method and use BIOS instead.

     Use BIOS Screen writes, y/N [ Default = No ]..............>


     ZyRion will "AUTO READ" your SNP number IF a key excist, otherwise it
     will be Disabled "000000000000" means, No KEY found, UNREGISTERED!

     Your Serial Number Password [ ZCR Mode ] SNP..............>000000000000


     Not recommended BUT if needed you can Drop the connection after a file
     Transfer.  (Default=NO).
     This can be used IF for that line the connection need to be terminated
     after each Transfer.

     Drop the connection after Transfer (DTR) y/N..............>


     How many HEADER Retry's should ZyRion do, before give up (Timeout).
     Default = 12

     Header Retry Counter, Sender only [ Default = 12 ]........>


     This Optional switch looks confused, but it can be usefull.
     IF you logon and you have tag some files on a BBS, then the
     system will ask, Press Enter to start in some cases.
     If this is the case, you can just start ZyRion, and ZyRion
     will handle the "CR-LF" sequence if the start mode = ON.
     Other systems like Osiris SE are waiting for an "S-CR-LF"
     In this case you use "Start mode = SE", IF you don't  -
     like this option use "Start mode = OFF", however it can
     be real usefull to use at least the "ON" Method!

     Use BBS Start mode [ OFF=NOT ON=NORMAL SE=NORMAL & SE ]...>


     This will force the receiver to use a alternate Download Path
     whatsoever, the Download path on the command line, will be  -
     IGNORED!

     IF you want a variable Download Parameter use [ ENTER ] here!

     Default Download Path, or Press [ RETURN ] for NON........>


     Here you can define how you want the calculation, in CPS or
     in BPS or in "%"-Efficiency, IF you press Return here "%" -
     will be used (Default).

     CPS display unit E)fficiency in % or C)ps or B)ps.........>


     The IRQ and Base Address can be changed, for example IF your
     communication port uses another IRQ for COM4, then type Y -
     You'll be asked for new IRQ and Base Address, Use this option
     IF you are total sure, that it need to be changed!

     Change default communication settings for COM8 y/N........>

     IF Y)es you'll be asked for :


     Base Address, Please enter it as an INTEGER, not as 03F8!

     Base Address..............................................>


     IRQ Line can be given so as it is, 3, 2, 4 , e.c

     IRQ Line for this port....................................>



     ZYRION DEFAULT BASE & IRQ LINES ARE

     ZYRION EXAMPLE
     --------------

     ZyRion and interface problems are NOT easy for some end users, so let me
     try to help you.

     First we know that we need the Port number [ COMX ], the Baudrate in BPS
     and the Up/Download Parameters, or IF Locked the Connect Rate.

     A lot of people searching in Docs and compare that with the Docs from -
     protocols, and then they hope that there is a answer somewhere.

     Most of the times you got stuck, becauce all kind of variable from the
     Terminal Communication Software.

     Lets assume we have a terminal called "TelComm" but you got stuck, now
     there is a simple method to find out what the passed variables are.

     Create a batch file called "GETVAR.BAT".

     Put in this batch file the following statements :

     COPY CON GETVAR.BAT
     ECHO OFF
     CLS
     ECHO %1
     ECHO %2
     ECHO %3
     ECHO %3
     ECHO %4
     ECHO %5
     ECHO %6
     ECHO %7
     ECHO %8
     PAUSE
     ^Z

     Now that we have created this batch file, let it call by your terminal -
     package, in our case "TelComm".
     First call this batch file in receive mode, and you'll see something like
     this :

     C:\NEWFILES\    [1]
     8               [2]
     N               [3]
     2400            [4]
     4               [5]

     Write this down, and do the same in Transmit mode, and you'll see some -
     thing like this :

     0                        [1]
     8                        [2]
     N                        [3]
     C:\TEMP\MYFILES\TELEM*.* [4]
     2400                     [5]
     4                        [6]

     Write this down to, ofcource you'll get other variables but its for that -
     you got the idea.

     Now with the above parameters we can make a ZSend.bat and a ZRcvd.bat for
     ZyRion.

     This would be look like this, NOTE: Not locked!

     COPY CON ZRCVD.BAT  (Receive)
     ECHO OFF
     CLS
     ZYRION R -P%5 -B%4 %1
     ^Z

     You'll get this : ZYRION R -P4 -B2400 C:\NEWFILES\


     COPY CON ZSEND.BAT
     ECHO OFF
     CLS
     ZYRION S -P%6 -B%5 %4
     ^Z

     You'll get this : ZYRION S -P4 -B2400 C:\TEMP\MYFILES\TELEM*.*


     Now we do the same but this time we know our terminal package is locked
     and ZyRion also at 38400 Bits Per Second DTE rate.

     C:\NEWFILES\    [1]
     8               [2]
     N               [3]
     2400            [4]
     4               [5]
     38400           [6]

     Write this down, and do the same in Transmit mode, and you'll see some -
     thing like this :

     38400                    [1]
     8                        [2]
     N                        [3]
     C:\TEMP\MYFILES\TELEM*.* [4]
     2400                     [5]
     4                        [6]

     Write this down to, ofcource you'll get other variables but its for that -
     you got the idea.

     Now with the above parameters we can make a ZSend.bat and a ZRcvd.bat for
     ZyRion.

     This would be look like this, NOTE: locked!

     COPY CON ZRCVD.BAT  (Receive)
     ECHO OFF
     CLS
     ZYRION R -P%5 -C%4 %1
     ^Z

     You'll get this : ZYRION R -P4 -C2400 C:\NEWFILES\


     COPY CON ZSEND.BAT
     ECHO OFF
     CLS
     ZYRION S -P%6 -C%5 %4
     ^Z

     You'll get this : ZYRION S -P4 -C2400 C:\TEMP\MYFILES\TELEM*.*

     Note: For "NOT LOCKED" you can also use -B0, this will enable the Abarate
     routine, this is a short word for Auto Baud Rate, in other words ZyRion
     will figur out what your UART rate is!

     Final the @<control File> option, this can be usefull if you send a lot of
     files, since DOS will not allow that many.

     All you need to do is REPLACE the %4 parameter with @MYCTL.CTL
     At this point ZyRion will process the plain Ascii file, your control file
     and ZyRion will send all files listed in this control file in batch mode
     You need to have a registered version for this purpose, since ZyRion will
     NOT allow Batch Transfers in UNREGISTERD Mode!

     Sample control file

     MYCTL.CTL
     C:\TEMP\FLIB20.ZIP
     D:\DOS\CHKDSK.EXE
     A:\TERM312.ZIP

     And so on, you can make this list so long as you want.

     In the above Examples we used the method like below :

     ZYRION S -P4 -C2400 C:\TEMP\MYFILES\TELEM*.*

     But you can also do this :

     ZYRION S -P4 -B0 C:\*.ZIP A:\*.ARJ D:\TE*.* B:\*.GIF  [ and so on ].

     Thats all you'll need to do, and ZyRion will work!


     FILES
     -----

     You need to set the statement FILES= at least to 20, so FILES=20!
     Otherwise ZyRion will abort, because it need to open a lot of files in
     some cases.
