The following is minimal documentation for the suite of script files
which comprise the TE/2 host mode.
Installation:
It is recommended that you create a subdirectory named "host"
underneath your standard script file directory ("scriptPath" in
TE2.INI). Place the script file TE2HOST.SCR in the default script
directory and all other .SCR files in this set in the "host"
subdirectory.
Refer to the beginning of the file TE2HOST.SCR. Three global
variables are defined there: "HomePath", "PublicPath", and
"HostULPath". They are, respectively, the directory for the various
support and configuration files, the directory which should contain
files available to everyone for download, and the directory in which
uploaded files will be placed. Decided what these directories will
be on your system and edit the file accordingly. The three supplied
support files USER.LST, BULLETIN.DAT, and LOGO.DAT should be placed
into the directory referenced by "HomePath".
Next, edit the USER.LST file for the users you wish to allow on your
system. The host mode is implemented as a "closed" system, i.e., no
new callers without prior knowledge. It probably wouldn't be too
hard to modify the scrip to allow an "open" system. Look at the
routines in HOSTMODE.SCR for ideas. Refer to the comments in
HOSTMODE.SCR near the subroutine "FindUserName" for information of
the structure of USER.LST.
There are other configuration variables defined in the files
TE2HOST.SCR and HOSTMODE.SCR which determine tihngs like MaximumBaud
and modem initialization strings. Edit these to match your system.
Executing:
Once you've got all of the files in place and all of the
configuration information set, all you have to do from a TE/2
terminal mode screen is type Alt-/ and then "call te2host" at the
"Command:" prompt.
You can exit host mode anytime a user is not online by typing ESCape.
Files and Directories:
The default file and directory setup assumed by these scripts is:
\TE2 TE/2 executable and support files
\TE2\SCR Default script file path
\TE2\SCR\HOST Extra host mode scripts [other than TE2HOST.SCR]
\TE2\HOST "Home" directory, host mode config & support files
\TE2\HOST\PUBLIC Default directory for host mode users
\TE2\HOST\UL Directory for host mode user uploads
The default modem setup is a garden variety, Hayes compatible, 2400
baud modem (although there is one variable, "Reliable9600", all set
up for a USR HST or DS modem).
The default sysop's name is JOE SYSOP and his password is PASSWD.
