LOCALCAM Documentation
Purpose:
The purpose of Localcam is to create a QWK packet or insert a REP file as
easily as possible during your event.
Command Line Paramters:
There are a total of 7 command line parameters that can be passed to the
program. You MUST use 6 of the 7. Here's a list and a description:
Required commands
-----------------
PCB:xxx - This is the DRIVE/PATH to your PCBoard Directory that you
wish to use. You MUST include the DRIVE letter.
FNAME:xxx - This is the First Name of the user.
LNAME:xxx - This is the Last Name of the user.
PWRD:xxx - This is the Password of the user.
Optional commands (One of the two must be used or both)
-----------------
REP - Tells the program that you want to get a QWK file.
QWK - Tells the program that you want to insert a REP file.
DOOR:xxx - Tells the program to override the default door name.
The default is MAIL (Which is the KEY name via PCBSM).
If you installed the door with a different name, then you
will need to use this command so PCBoard will create the
USERS.SYS file.
How It Works:
The program will create your QWK packet in the directory defined in the
CMSM.EXE program (E Misc Paths Path to QWK files). The door will look
for your REP file defined in the CMSM.EXE (E MIsc Paths Path to REP).
How to Use:
Be sure you run the LOCALCAM.EXE in your CAM-MAIL directory. The program
will automatically change to your PCB directory in order to create the
USERS.SYS and PCBOARD.SYS. Please note that the program requires that you
have a PCB145.EXE (Somewhere in a Path or in the PCB directory), and that
the name of the door is called MAIL (This is the command that is used to
open the door via PCBoard itself). If you are unsure of how you installed
the Cam-Mail Door, go into PCBSM (D Users Info File Maintenance). Then
Select (B List Installed Third Party Application). It then should have
something like:
TPA: CAM-MAIL Ver: 1 Static: 60 Dyunamic: 1 Key: MAIL
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^
The KEY should be MAIL and the TPA should be CAM-MAIL.
Examples:
Here are a couple of examples that you can use:
LOCALCAM.EXE PCB:D:\PCB FName:CAM LName:DeBuck Pwrd:Unknown QWK
The above example will run the Cam-Mail Door and will create a QWK
packet if any new messages are found. The QWK packet will be created
in the directory defined in the CMSM program.
LOCALCAM.EXE PCB:D:\PCB FName:CAM LName:DeBuck Pwrd:Unknown REP
The above example will run the Cam-Mail Door and will insert your REP
packet if it can be found in your REP directory. Your REP file will
automatically be deleted once inserted.
LOCALCAM.EXE PCB:D:\PCB FName:CAM LName:DeBuck Pwrd:Unknown QWK REP
The above example will run the Cam-Mail Door and will insert your REP
packet if it can be found in your REP directory. Your REP file will
automatically be deleted once inserted. It will also create a QWK
packet if any new messages are found. The QWK packet will be created
in the directory defined in the CMSM program. Please note that the
REP file is processed first, and then the QWK packet.
Notes: LOCALCAM.EXE is part of the Cam-Mail Door. You should have copy of
the CAM-M100.ZIP file in order for this program to work properly.
