These two scripts give a little help to navigating GEnie, using QTERM 4.2
There is a bug in at least two copies of V4.2g that I uploaded that may
cause these scripts to fail. The bug concerns the '!< = ' command. You'll
know immediately if your version of QTERM is corrupt: the menu selection
will always fail. If this happens, you need to patch your version of QTERM
as follows. It's a single byte patch, which can easily be applied with ZSID
or DDT. Load up QTERM, and list from 278A onwards. There is the following
sequence:
RET
INC HL
CALL ????
LD DE,XXXX
All that is needed is to add one to the address loaded into DE.
Make the change, and then exit, and SAVE 64 QTERMNEW.COM
As for the two scripts, GENIE looks after logging in. It will need to
be configured to include the phone number you use, and your USER ID
and Password, and you may wish to alter the baud rate as well (as
delivered, it runs at 1200 baud). There are some comments in the
script file showing where to make these changes. MENU is the actual
script that works on GEnie, it always starts by getting to the top
menu, and then it prompts for a selection. Only one piece of
configuration is needed: the file where selection 5 is to place mail
from your mailbox needs to be specified. This is done near the bottom
of the script, and as above there are some comments to help.
