OSB.SCR Script for OS/2 Shareware BBS
Brady Flowers, author of TE/2, has prepared several excellent
scripts for logging onto OS/2 Shareware BBS. These scripts come
with TE/2 v1.21 and are available on BBSs. This script is a
modification of Mr. Flowers' original scripts to suit my taste.
The main change is the addition of a section to download one or
more files automatically.
I prefer little scripts or modules to be in one script file
rather than several. Also, I wanted my script to contain a
module for downloading preselected files. There are several
changes to be made by you; but first, here is my setup:
I use Boot Manager...C drive is my DOS 5; D drive is my OS/2.
Only OS/2 files are on D drive. All other files, including TE/2
are on C drive. I have migrated TE/2 to OS/2 Desktop and within
OS/2 Programs. This explanation is probably not necessary to
most of you, but I am new to OS/2, and I had to learn why I
could not locate some files at first. Using the full path in
filenames was the solution. I use TE/2 in OS/2 Full-Size Window,
I call from the dialling directory, and I keep my logon script
in c:\te2\scrip.
Changes, which you may need, include:
1. Enter your name in place of mine. Password will come from
the dialing directory automatically.
2. Adjust download and upload directories. See `string'
section.
3. In TE2.INI file set `QueryZMRecover' to FALSE
4. In TE2.INI file set `ClobberDL' to FALSE
5. In script under subroutine SetupQwk, set `ClobberDL=1'
To download files, prepare a file `osb.get'. The only line in
the file should contain a list of filenames you wish to
download. This file should be kept in same directory as script.
Here's an example:
drmann11.zip;os2new.zip;timeos2.zip
SUMMARY of what script does, all automatically:
1. Logs onto OS/2 Shareware BBS, and logs off
2. Puts new file listing(since last logon) in OSB.FIL
3. Uploads REP packet, if any
4. Downloads OffLine Reader messages in a zipped packet
5. Downloads preselected files, if any
I hope this script works for you as well as it does for me.
