  1. WAMPUM Remote 4.5R (ANSI/BBS version) is a specialized version of WAMPUM
  2. designed exclusively for multi-user, dBASE-compatible remote data base manage-
  3. ment using virtually any ANSI-compatible BBS including pcBOARD, WildCat, and
  4. TriBBS as well as any other ANSI-compatible BBS with 390K ANSI DOOR support.
  5.  
  6. The beauty of WAMPUM Remote is that it is virtually 100% compatible with the
  7. standard WAMPUM software and can be intermixed with WAMPUM for DOS on the
  8. same network simultaneously.  Automatic record and file locking are standard.
  9. WAMPUM Remote also supports multi-user access using multi-tasking software
  10. so long as the DOS SHARE program is loaded so as to support each DOS session.
  11.  
  12. Because it is designed solely for dial-in use, some development features are
  13. not available through BBS access.  In particular, the report writer and the
  14. label generator cannot be used to create new reports or label templates. How-
  15. ever, all standard dBASE III reports and labels can be executed.  Just the
  16. templates themselves must be created in local mode.  Virtually any WAMPUM 4.5
  17. application previously developed will run with WAMPUM Remote unmodified!
  18.  
  19. WAMPUM Remote also can be run without using a BBS Door provided an ANSI driver 
  20. is loaded in the user's CONFIG.SYS startup file.  We obviously do not recom-
  21. mend WAMPUM Remote in this mode since the standard WAMPUM 4.5 software uses
  22. direct screen writes to greatly improve video performance while WAMPUM Remote
  23. sends ANSI escape sequences frequently to manipulate the screen.
  24.  
  25. The following functions exist in the standard WAMPUM product but are not sup-
  26. ported in WAMPUM Remote 4.5R:
  27.  
  28.         (1)  Display of .PCX graphics fields
  29.  
  30.         (2)  Local printing at the BBS Host
  31.  
  32.         (3)  Loading of WAMPUM as a TSR and shelling out to DOS
  33.  
  34.         (4)  Modem auto-dial out support for obvious reasons
  35.  
  36. With these minor exceptions, all standard features covered in the WAMPUM 4.5
  37. documentation are supported in the ANSI/BBS version.
  38.  
  39. WAMPUM Remote typically would be accessed thru a BBS door using an ANSI
  40. display driver in your communications software package.  We also recommend 
  41. configuring the communications software so that it can emulate the IBM PC's 
  42. cursor control keys.  The following is the recommended mapping:
  43.  
  44.                 IBM PC Key      ANSI Keystroke
  45.                 ----------      --------------
  46.                    Home             Ctrl-A
  47.                    End              Ctrl-F
  48.                    PgUp             Ctrl-R
  49.                    PgDn             Ctrl-C
  50.                    Left             Ctrl-H
  51.                    Right            Ctrl-D
  52.                    Up               Ctrl-E
  53.                    Down             Ctrl-X
  54.                    Tab              Ctrl-J
  55.                  Back Tab           Ctrl-E
  56.                   Insert            Ctrl-V
  57.                    Del              Ctrl-G
  58.  
  59. ProComm Plus can easily be mapped as described above.  You may find other
  60. products which are equally well-suited for this purpose.  In general, any
  61. communications package which works with your favorite ANSI-BBS will work.
