There are two WizLINK packages available from WIZ-TEC: the shareware
version and the standard version. The shareware version is WizLINK
evaluation version with no serial number. It is a FULL functional WizLINK
package with all available features. The standard version, with a valid
serial number, is the one that WIZ-TEC will offer product supports, upgrade
continuous enhancements/developments and most current bug fixes, to only
the registered WizLINK users. The shareware version is for WizLINK
evaluation only, a registered WizLINK standard version is the only lawful
use of WizLINK product. Please read WizLINK licensing agreement carefully
before evaluating or using either version of this software. The licensing
agreement is in the file "LICENSE.DOC", a pure text file, in your WizLINK
package. You can also view this licensing agreement within the on line
help system of "WizLINKu" utility program.
The following is a list of files included in the WizLINK package:
- INSTALL.EXE WizLINK installation program

║ 2. Installing WizLINK ║
╚═════════════════════════╝
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1) Installing the standard version │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
The very first thing you should do is to backup the WizLINK disk and
put the original disk in a safe place. Use the backup disk only.
Install WizLINK according to the following steps:
- Insert WizLINK disk into the floppy drive.
- Change current drive into this floppy drive.
- Run the install program with the destination drive-path parameter.
The format is "INSTALL [Drive-Path]". For example, at a drive "A:\>"
prompt type "A:INSTALL c:\WizLINK" will install WizLINK into c:
drive WizLINK directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual.
Another alternative to install WizLINK:
- Create a WizLINK directory in your hard drive.
- Copy "WizLINK1.EXE" file from WizLINK disk into your this directory.
- Run "WizLINK1.EXE" from your WizLINK directory, and it will self-
extract all WizLINK files into this directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual.
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2) Installing the shareware version │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
The shareware version may come in two different forms depending on the
distribution media or sources.
- If it is in one floppy disk, follow the exact steps as for the
standard version stated above.
- If it is in the self-extracting form where all the orginal files
(other than "INSTALL.EXE") are compressed into one - "WizLINK1.EXE",
create your WizLINK directory, copy in "WizLINK1.EXE", and run this
program from this directory which will self-extract itself to full
WizLINK shareware package - refer to the alternative installation
for WizLINK standard version.
Note: If it is not in the above two forms provided by WIZ-TEC, you must
check with your distributor for installation instructions and make sure
that all the original unaltered files are present after installation.
┌────────────────────┐
│ 3) A quick example │
└────────────────────┘
WizLINK.COM is the one that actually performs both the remote and the host
functions. Because it is command line driven, you may re-config/overwrite
WizLINK settings each time starting WizLINK.COM. WizLINKu is an utility
program that gives you the advantage to write default settings directly
into WizLINK.COM, so that less command options will need to be set to run
WizLINK.COM when starting up WizLINK.
The following is a brief example for your reference.
Suppose that you want to work on your office computer from your home
computer when you are at home. In this case, the office computer is the
'host' computer that will run WizLINK in the 'host mode', and your home
computer is the 'remote' computer that will run WizLINK in the 'remote
mode'.
1. Set the host (office) computer to the host mode before you leave for
home as following:
1) Run WizLINKu program. Go through the basic setup
- COMM port #2
- speed at 9600 baud
- password as "WizLINK-Office"
- startup mode switch to "Host" (default)
- check other setups as good as you can
2) Press [F5] to write to WizLINK.COM. Press [F10] to save the
settings to your phone book if you wish.
3) Press [ESC] to quit WizLINKu program.
4) Type "WizLINK /?" for all the command line options. You may
overwrite the default set either by WizLINKu or the original
package.
5) Run WizLINK.COM with or without any options to overwrite to
the settings set by WizLINKu program. WizLINK will exit after
initializing the system and keep part of the program in the
memory for 'host' functions.
2. Set the remote (home) computer to the remote mode at home:
1) Run WizLINKu.
- COMM port 1
- speed at 9600 baud
- startup mode switch to "remote", or use "/M+" to set to remote
mode at command line when you run WizLINK.COM.
2) Press [F5] to write to WizLINK.COM. Press [F10]to save the settings
to your phone book if you want.
3) Press [ESC] to quit WizLINKu.
4) Run WizLINK.COM.
- enter the password ("WizLINK-Office") and the office modem phone
number following the prompts.
- A handshaking screen will appear, and then dispear when the
remote control handshaking is established. If the program hangs
up and exits, check the password and the serial number (programs
may not have the same serial number at both end). You may try
WizLINK.COM with /O+ option to ignore carrier, or /O2 to ignore
always.
- If the connection is made, your home computer screen will show
up what was left in the office computer - now you are running the
office computer! This is what we call the remote control session.
Within this session, you may initiate other functions, e.g.
transfering files.
- Hold <Alt><Shift> keys and hit "H", and it will bring up a list of
'hot keys'.
- Press <Alt><Shift>-X and hit "Y" (for Yes) to exit WizLINK remote
control.
Please consult other sections for more information.
╔══════════════════════╗
║ 3. How to get help ║
╚══════════════════════╝
WizLINK provides a detailed help system.
- View User's Manual: Run WizLINKu.EXE and press [F3] will provide the
full on line WizLINK User's Manual.
- WizLINK.COM: At command line, type "WizLINK /?" will display command
line options/switches and their brief help messages. When running
WizLINK remote control session in the remote computer, press
<Shift><Alt>-H and it will bring up a help screen on all the hot keys
available.
- WizTALK.COM: After running this program, a brief help will be shown
on the top of the screen.
- WizLINKu.EXE: There will be a 4-line brief help on the current field
at the bottom of the screen after running this program. First [F1]
will bring up a detailed help window, and [F1] again within the help
window will present the global help system for review. [F3] is also
available to view the entire User's Manual.
- Others: The file WizLINK.HLP, WizLINK.LST, Readme.DOC and
Register.DOC are all text files. You can, if you wish, use any text
editor to browse and print these files. But you must not change any
content of these files!
╔════════════════════╗
║ 4. Using WizLINK ║
╚════════════════════╝
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ 1) WizLINK command line │
└─────────────────────────┘
WizLINK.COM is a self contained program where all the default information
is saved right in itself. To invoke WizLINK command line help, just type
"WizLINK /?", the full command line options will be shown as below:
WizLINK Version 1.1 - Small (6K) fast remote control with file transfer!
Copyright (c) 1992 WIZ-TEC Computing Technologies Inc. All rights reserved.
Serial Number: -- N/A --- Un-registered!
Type "WizLINK /?" for command line help. Usage : WizLINK [Options...]
/A# : Set communication port number (COM1 to COM4)
/B# : Baud: 0=1200, 1=2400, 2=4800, 3=9600, 4=19K, 5=38K, 6=58K, 7=115K
/Q# : Set IRQ (1-9). By default IRQ4 for COM1/3, IRQ3 for COM2/4
/Z# : Set screen saver (# of 5 minutes, 0-9). /Z0 to disable
/F@ : Fast buffer/screen refresh. /F+ to enable, /F- to disable
/G@ : CGA snow control (CGA monitor). /G+ to enable, /G- to disable
/K@ : Key paste method. /K+ to use INT16 interrupt, /K- direct buffer
/N@ : Set connection type. /N+ for null modem direct, /N- for modem
/O@ : Ignore modem carrier loss. /O+ to ignore, /O- to detect and use
/P@ : Set modem pulse/tone dial. /P+ for pulse dial, /P- for tone dial
/X@ : Communication buffer extension. /X+ to enable, /X- to disable
/H@ : Ignore back/wait call password protection. /H+ ignore, /H- enforce
/M@ : Set operating mode. /M+ for remote mode, /M- for host TSR mode
/C : Set host back call remote mode (requires host TSR installed)
/W : Set remote wait call mode (wait for host back call handshake)
/I : Re-initialize (Hang up/Reset/Initialize) the modem and then exit
/U : Uninstall WizLINK host TSR from memory
/D~ : Set quick dial phone number. /D to skip prompt and use default
/L~ : Set host/remote login password. /L to skip prompt and use default
(#:one digit 0-9; @:+/-/0-9 enable/disable switch; ~:continuous string)
Note: For the standard version, the valid serial number will be shown on
the "Serial Number" line above.
All the command line options start with a "/," followed by a letter
indicating the identity of the option and followed by the settings if
necessary. There are three types of settings as demonstrated below: "#"
indicates a one digit number, "@" indicates a switch of either "+" (Enable)
or "-" (Disable) ("1" to "9" to enable at level 1 to 9, "0" to disable),
and "~" indicates a string. A "~" string should not be interrupted by
any spaces or slashes. Use "_" instead under conditions that a space is
required, and WizLINK will recognize it and convert it back to a space.
All these options fall into four basic types:
a) General setup. These options are essential for WizLINK's operation
and must be set correctly.
- /A#: # is a one digit number from 1 to 4 indicating the communication
port number to be used.
- /B#: # is a one digit number from 0 to 7 indicating the baud
rate/speed to be used. 0=1200, 1=2400, 2=4800, 3=9600, 4=19.2K,
5=38.4K, 6=57K, 7=115K. The maximum speed for a modem is 9600.
WizLINK will automatically allocate additional communication buffer
(up to 5 times larger) for a high speed direct connection (over 9600).
The host computer will negotiate a communication speed with the
call-in remote computer to establish a synchronized link. For high
speed (115K) remote control, communication buffer overflow may happen
especially when the /F+ (fast screen) switch is on. You may extend
the communication buffer and/or turn off the /F switch to avoid this
problem if it occurs. WizLINK also needs faster machines to support
high speed transmission.
- /Q#: Set the IRQ (interrupt request) of the selected communication
port. Normally, COM1 is RQ4, COM2 is IRQ3, and COM3 or COM4 is IRQ3
or IRQ4. These settings can be found in the modem/serial port
installations.
b) Optional switches. These are options to alter WizLINK's performance
at runtime.
- /Z#: Set WizLINK screen saver time intervals. # is from 0 to 9 defining
the length of idle time (multiples of 5 minutes) which triggers the
activation of screen saver. /Z0 will turn the screen saver off.
- /F@: Fast screen buffer update. Under normal remote control screen
transmission, WizLINK runs in the background. Within each clock tick,
WizLINK will try to a) free the host computer for its own task by
taking less work load/time from it, and b) maintain communication
buffer from over/underflow. This results in the appearance of a
slow screen update in the remote computer, which benefits the host
computer when it is under heavy task or it is simply a slow (like XT)
computer. With /F+ option, WizLINK will take more time and power at
the host and try to overrun the buffer to send screen data as much
as possible within the clock tick, so that the remote computer can
get maximum screen refresh rate and performance. A very high speed
(115K) with a /F+ option, may sometimes overflow the communication
buffer during the remote control session. Considerations for /F+
option include baud rate, host computer's speed and buffer size (/X+).
- /G@: CGA snow control. WizLINK utilizes direct video addressing method
that might generate snow on some CGA monitors. /G+ option will
enforce WizLINK to refresh the video memory only during interlace time
to avoid the snow.
- /K@: /K+ allows WizLINK to use standard keyboard BIOS interrupt route
for key insertion into the host . When keying is received by the host
computer from the remote, WizLINK will paste it into host's keyboard
buffer in one of the two ways--direct (/K-) BIOS keyboard buffer or
BIOS interrupt 16 (/K+) key insertion. Some TSR/programs installed
after WizLINK may take over and replace the physical BIOS buffer and
therefore make it unavailable for WizLINK to work with. If this is
the case, use BIOS interrupt route instead of direct buffer.
- /N@: Set the connection type. /N+ is for direct null modem connection.
/N- is for true modem-phone line connection.
- /O@: Ignore modem carrier loss. Normally, WizLINK will always detect
carrier loss when using modem connection. If carrier is lost during
either the remote control or file transfer session, WizLINK will hang
up and re-initialize the modem automatically. /O+ will inform WizLINK
to ignore such modem carrier loss and continue the on line session.
/O2 and above (# greater than 2) will have WizLINK ignore carrier
detect always, including dialing process. /O- will enfore the modem
carrier signal detection.
- /P@: Set pulse (/P+) or tone ( /P-) dialing.
- /H@: Ignore password protection for back/wait call remote links. This
option is set at the host end during host TSR installation. /H+ will
inform WizLINK to ignore password check of back/wait call logins. /H-
will enforce password validation even for back/wait call remote links.
Note: this option is only valid when first installing WizLINK TSR. A
back call process ("/c" switch) with "/O+" will not overwrite the
settings of the installed WizLINK.
- /X@: Communication buffer extension. /X+ will double the communication
buffer after calculating the speed-depend-buffer size.
c) Optional set up strings.
- /D~: Enter phone number (for both remote and host). If the phone is
not setup properly before the calling process, WizLINK will prompt
for the phone number. Leave the "~" string blank by using "/D" will
inform WizLINK to skip prompt/enter phone number step and use the
default directly.
- /L~: Set the login password. For the host, it is the password for the
remote computers to match. For the remote, it is the password sent to
the host for login. Leave the "~" string blank by using "/L" will
inform WizLINK to skip password prompt/enter step and use the default
directly. WizLINK will ignore and hang up all calls with incorrect
passwords.
- Modem setup string. Not available through command line. WizLINK keeps
several modem setup strings in the following sequences: a) modem
reset string; b) answer string for host mode/wait for call, or
calling string for remote/back call; c) the 9600 setup string for
9600 modem; and d) dial the number provided.
d) Operation mode/type setting options. These options will direct
WizLINK to the major function portion to be performed.
- /M@: Set operating mode. /M+ sets computer into remote mode, /M- sets
WizLINK into host TSR mode.
- /I: Hang-up/Reset/Re-initialize the modem and then exit. The calling
modem setup string will be used in the remote mode (/M+), or the
answer string in the host mode (/M-).
- /C: Back call for remote link. Usually, it is the remote computer
calling into the host for remote control. Under certain conditions,
such as customer support where the customer (host) is expected to
pay for the long distance bill, WizLINK's back call and wait for
call functions can be used. Refer to back call/wait call remote link.
- W: Wait for call at remote computer. Please refer to /C option.
The following is a brief list of default settings set in the original
package.
/A1: Comm port 1
/B1: 2400 baud rate
/Q : COM1=IRQ4, COM2=IRQ3, COM3=IRQ4, COM4=IRQ3
/Z0: Screen saver disabled
/F-: Normal screen buffer refresh
/G-: Snow control disabled
/K-: Direct key buffer paste
/N-: True modem connection
/P-: Tone dial
/X-: Buffer extension disabled
/D : Empty. No preset phone numbers
/Lwizlink: Password set as "WizLINK"
Modem setup strings are not available at command line. Defaults are:
Modem Escape: +++
Modem Reset : ATZ
Modem Dial : ATDT
Modem Caller: ATE0 Q0 V0 &C1 X1 S7=60 S9=5 S10=30 S12=50 S0=0
Modem Answer: ATE0 Q1 V0 &C1 X1 S7=60 S9=5 S10=30 S12=50 S0=1
Modem 9600 : ATW0 X4 &C1 &Q5 &K3
/M-: Startup with host TSR mode
(No /I, /C, /W switches)
The followings are several brief examples. You can also use WizLINKu to
write default values to avoid most of the command line options.
(Note: WIZ-TEC default options are assumed here)
Example 1: host mode with COM1, 2400 modem with password "hello":
WizLINK /A1 /B2 /Lhello /M-
Example 2: uninstall host TSR:
WizLINK /U
Example 3: remote mode with COM2, 9600 modem tone dial:
WizLINK /A2 /B3 /P- /M+
Example 4: remote mode with COM2, 9600 model tone dial wait call:
WizLINK /A2 /B3 /P- /M+ /W
Example 5: remote mode reset/reinitialize modem:
WizLINK /M+ /I
Example 6: remote mode reset/reinitialize modem:
WizLINK /M- /I
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2) Installing WizLINK host mode │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
The host computer is the one to be controlled by the other computer.
Installing the host mode will allow the computer to pick up the call and
pass control to the remote computer if password is okayed. To install the
host mode, use the /M- option in conjunction with other settings. WizLINK
will check for previous installations before the actual installation.
Please refer to command line options for other settings.
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3) Running WizLINK remote mode │
└────────────────────────────────┘
The remote computer is the one that will control the other computer. It
will dial the phone number, initiate the hand shaking, login with the
password and start remote session if the host acknowledges. During the
remote control session, press <Shift><Alt>-H key will bring up the help
screen:
<Alt>-<Shift>-C: Re-synchronize and refresh screen
<Alt>-<Shift>-H: Quick key help (this screen)
<Alt>-<Shift>-R: Receive file(s) from host (Download)
<Alt>-<Shift>-S: Send file(s) to the host.(Upload)
<Alt>-<Shift>-X: Exit WizLINK, back to DOS
<Alt>-<Shift>-Y: Remote reboot the host computer
<Alt>-<Shift>-Z: Shell to DOS from remote computer
All the remote control screens utilize a unique convention. A bell in
the upper left tells you an informational message; a question mark asks
you to enter the prompt; a double "!" gives you a warning. For a prompt,
a double box indicates that it is from the remote end; a single box
indicates that it is from the host end; a single-double box tells you
that it may be from either the host or the remote.
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 4) Transferring files with WizLINK │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Within a remote control session, <Shift><Alt>-S initiates a "send" (Upload)
session and <Shift><Alt>-R a "receive" (Download) session. WizLINK's file
transfer functions like a DOS copy function, where the DOS wildcard syntax
may be used and file will be "copied" under the same name. WizLINK will
attempt to re-send up to 14 times for error block correction for each file
if an error occurs. On both the host and the remote screen, a flashing bell
in the upper right corner indicates a file transfer in progress. Press
[ESC] at both ends and it will abort the file transfer. At the remote end
before a file transfer, <Shift><Alt>-Z will shell the remote to DOS of its
own computer, and "Exit" will bring it back to the remote control session.
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 5) Back call/wait call remote link │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
WizLINK also supports reversed remote link - the host computer calls the
remote "asking" to be controlled. At the host end, install WizLINK host TSR
as usual, and start WizLINK again with a /C parameter. At the remote end,
run WizLINK with a /W wait call option. The host will call up the remote,
exit after connected, and leave the rest to the remote end and the host
TSR. After answering the call, the remote will start handshaking with the
host's TSR and login as a regular remote link. Other options/switches are
still required in combination with /C or /W parameter.
┌────────────┐
│ 6) WizTALK │
└────────────┘
WizTALK is a small utility for the remote control session. In many cases
the remote and the host operators need to communicate. WizTALK provides
a simple and easy solution as a screen "dumper". Run WizTALK within the
remote control session, and both ends may type messages to communicate
within the "dumper". Press [ESC] to exit WizTALK.
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ 5. Using WizLINKu - WizLINK utility program ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
WizLINKu is WizLINK's utility program doing the following tasks:
- Maintain the 100 entry phone book
- Write WizLINK's default values to avoid lengthy command line options
- Write some options (e.g. modem string) unavailable in command line
- View WizLINK User's Manual
- General helps on terms that WizLINK uses through the whole package
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ 1) On line help and manual │
└────────────────────────────┘
WizLINKu provides a full detailed WizLINK help system. When running
WizLINKu, [F1] will first bring up the on topic help, and [F1] again a
detailed general help. [F3] is available to review the entire manual.
In addition, a brief help key list and field message at the bottom of
the forms will guide your steps.
┌───────────────────────┐
│ 2) Phone book entries │
└───────────────────────┘
WizLINKu also maintains a 100 entry phone book. Through the list form,
you can use [F9] or [F10] to easily locate the record by name and a
brief note. Each form record is saved under its entry so that it may be
retrieved. The file is saved under "WizLINK.DAT." If this file can not
be located in either the current directory or the "PATH" when starting
up WizLINKu, a new one will be created automatically with current default
settings from WizLINK.COM. If multiple "WizLINK.DAT" are present, the first
one found in the search will be used.
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3) Read/write WizLINK default values │
└──────────────────────────────────────┘
One of the major benefit of WizLINKu is its ability to re-write the
default values of WizLINK to avoid lengthy command line options each
time starting up the WizLINK. [F4] will read in these values from
WizLINK.COM into current record, and [F5] will write to default. Some
WizLINK settings (e.g. modem setup string) that are unavailable through
command line can be set by WizLINKu.
┌────────────────┐
│ 4) WizLINK.LST │
└────────────────┘
WizLINKu uses WizLINK.LST as a text file for most of the pick list. Each
list section starts with a "*" and the keyword of the list that WizLINKu
(end with a ",A") going to search for at runtime. This line should never be
changed, or it will interrupt WizLINKu at runtime. Following this keyword
line is the actual list which ends with the next keyword section. You may,
at your own responsibility, copy and change this list and test it with
WizLINKu. One example shown here is the phone number.
The section looks like the following in the file:
| *PHONENUMBER,A
| 9-999-999-9999
Suppose you want to replace phone number "9-999-999-9999" with your number
8-888-888-8888 and add additional numbers (7-777-777-7777 etc.) to it. The
new section will look like:
| *PHONENUMBER,A
| 8-888-888-8888 Replaced number of 9-999-999-9999
| 7-777-777-7777 New added number 1
| 6-666-666-6666 New added number 2
| 5-555-555-5555 New added number 3
| 4-444-444-4444 New added number 4
Note: the actual list entry must start from the very beginning of each line
and take the same number of characters corresponding to the field needed.
After this field length, you can fill in a brief description--the size
depends on the actual field size and pick list size.
The following is a list of keywords. You can only change the section within
these keywords.
"*PHONENUMBER,A " - Phone number pick list section
"*PASSWORD,A " - WizLINK login password pick list section
"*MODEMRESET,A " - Reset modem setup string section
"*MODEMCALLER,A " - Caller mode modem setup string section
"*MODEMANSWER,A " - Answer mode modem setup string section
"*MODEMEXTRA,A " - Extra modem setup string section

╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
- WizLINK screen saver. If the screen saver switch is set on and the
system idles for the length of time you set, WizLINK will blank the
screen. For VGA, WizLINK calls interrupt 10H of BIOS to disable the
screen refresh. For CGA and MONO, it directly instructs the adapter.
Any activity (video BIOS call, key pressing, remote control activity,
etc.) will activate the screen refresh.
- Reset the modem. Sometimes an interrupted remote control or other
communication program (run after WizLINK) will change the modem
settings (e.g. the answer mode). Run WizLINK with /I in conjunction
with /M- (answering mode for host mode) or /M+ (calling mode for
remote mode) will reinitialize the modem.
- Uninstall WizLINK TSR. When WizLINK is installed as a TSR, it stays
in the memory and monitors the computer activities. You may install
and uninstall it as you wish. Type "WizLINK /U" will uninstall it.
Note: if it is in the middle of a remote control, uninstalling the
TSR will freeze up the remote computer, but you can still exit by
<Shift><Alt>-X).
- Optimize file transfer speed. Previous release of WizLINK (1.0)
provides a compression transfer protocol for file transfer. We since
took this function out from WizLINK 1.1 due to two reasons: (1) to
conserve 4K memory (2) the popularity and out performance of file
compression utilities (and some 9600 modem compression transmission).
WizLINK 1.1 still recongizes and decompresses 1.0's compressed data.
You may use the 'DOS Shell' function provided now by WizLINK 1.1
along with file compression utilities for large files to achieve the
best file transfer speed and performance.
- Graphical environment. WizLINK (1.1) is currently a text mode based
program. If you run the remote control into a graphic session, the
remote end will show meaningless screen changes following the host.
We do not suggest that you run remote control over graphic section,
but in case you have to, you can either exit from the host or guess
your steps to get the host back to text mode again.
- Hardware and modems. Many of the basic setups of WizLINK are
hardware dependent. You should consult proper manuals and hardware
switches for the exact information.
a) Serial port on the mother board with direct connection or external
modem - refer to your computer manual and the switches on the
mother board.
b) Serial port board with direct connection or external modem - refer
to your serial port manual and the switches on the serial port.
c) Internal modem - refer to the modem manual and the switches on the
board.
Note, if your computer has more than 2 comm ports installed, make
sure that there is no conflict among the ports. Default command
strings set by WizLINK may be changed to suit your usage.
- WizLINK TSR memory. Under normal installation, WizLINK takes less
than 7K memory. When speed is higher than 9600 (direct connection),
WizLINK will allocate additional memory - double at each higher speed
level. This is based on the base memory set by WizLINKu. When /E
switch is set, the allocated memory will double again. The default
memory setting and speed dependent approach will suit most of the
jobs. If you want to change the memory default, you only need to
consider the output buffer.
- About 115K direct connection.
Although WizLINK supports high speed direct connection. It requires
both the remote and host computer at a higher speed to handle it.
Speeds above 38K demand a fair amount of work load for WizLINK to
handle, especially if other running programs share the computer time.
Increased buffer size may not improve the handling, since it might
not be the source of the problem. Missing data in the high traffic
flow may be the cause. Unload some background TSRs or step down one
or two speed levels when problem happens.
- About 9600 modems.
Modems supported by WizLINK are not restricted to any specific types
or manufactures. But the method to set them up varies. You have to
make sure the setups between the host and the remote are compatible.
It is up to a correct modem setups to have WizLINK handle them.
- Trouble shooting.
The following is a brief check list if problems occur.
a) Compatible and correct hardware and settings
b) Correct WizLINK basic setups
c) Correct modem status (use /I to re-initialize if necessary)
d) Remote speed must not be higher than that of the host
e) Correct password
f) Remote and host must have different serial number
g) High speed (above 38K) through a slow computer on either side
h) Correct video adapter/mode/page
i) Application/TSR conflicts with WizLINK
j) Modem setup and handling. This is probably the most common cause
of remote link problems. You should read to make sure the modem
setup and dip switch is correct and compatible at both end. The
problem causes WizLINK not to perform calling or handshaking
process (after the initial dialing). At the host end, make sure
it is in 'Auto Answer' mode after install WizLINK TSR. At both
remote and host end, make sure WizLINK setup is correct - speed,
comm port, IRQ etc. If you have an external modem, when startup
WizLINK, you should see lights switch on/of indications that
WizLINK do attempt to handling the modem. Try the /O+ switch one
end at a time, and both end if necessary. If it is a back call
remote link, try at the host end use manual dialing. You can
also try set both end as if it is direct connect (/N+ swithc)
and have the modem connection manually.

║ 1. What is WizLINK? ║
╚═══════════════════════╝
WizLINK is a remote control program that enables one computer (defined as
the remote) to dial another computer (defined as the host) through a modem
or a direct RS232 port and gain control of the host computer. WizLINK
functions remote control in the text mode and provides file transfer
ability within the remote control session. It takes only about 6.5K memory
for the full functional installation.
╔═════════════════════════════╗
║ 2. Why is WizLINK useful? ║
╚═════════════════════════════╝
- Computers' inter-communication and control are essential! The fast
growth in computer industry makes it possible for more and more
people to have access to more than one computer - among offices,
business, customers, home, friends and portable computers. Software
and customer support also depend on remote control (with file
transfer) like WizLINK.
- DOS and DOS text based applications still dominate the PC market and
serve most people's daily uses.
WizLINK is developed to offer every computer user an easy and low cost
solution - an essential DOS utility handy when needed.
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ 3. WizLINK and other remote control software ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- WizLINK is small! 6.4K TSR (less than half the size of a mouse driver)
for a full functional installation, while others take no less than 48K
in most cases, some even 140K or more. In current DOS world, almost
everyone is constrained by memory and hardly anyone can afford a big
memory for a TSR.
- WizLINK is fast! It handles 9600 modem, 115K direct connection and
compressed screen transfer.
- WizLINK is easy to use with many flexible and powerful features.
- WizLINK offers features that no other programs can match!
- WizLINK is fun! Just imagine what you could do with WizLINK.
╔═══════════════════════════════╗

╔══════════════════════╗
║ 6. Where to start? ║
╚══════════════════════╝
1) Read "LICENSE.DOC" file
This file contains WizLINK licensing agreement in a pure text format.
2) Installing the standard version
The very first thing you should do is to backup the WizLINK disk and
put the original disk in a safe place. Use the backup disk only.
Install WizLINK according to the following steps:
- Insert WizLINK disk into the floppy drive.
- Change current drive into this floppy drive.
- Run the install program with the destination drive-path parameter.
The format is "INSTALL [Drive-Path]". For example, at a drive "A:\>"
prompt type "A:INSTALL c:\WizLINK" will install WizLINK into c:
drive WizLINK directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual
Another alternative to install WizLINK:
- Create a WizLINK directory in your hard drive.
- Copy "WizLINK1.EXE" file from WizLINK disk into your this directory.
- Run "WizLINK1.EXE" from your WizLINK directory, and it will self-
extract all WizLINK files into this directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual.
3) Installing the shareware version
The shareware version may come in two different forms depending on the
distribution media or sources.
- If it is in one floppy disk, follow the exact steps as for the
standard version stated above.
- If it is in the self-extracting form where all the orginal files
(other than "INSTALL.EXE") are compressed into one - "WizLINK1.EXE",
create your WizLINK directory, copy in "WizLINK1.EXE", and run this
program from this directory which will self-extract itself to full
WizLINK shareware package - refer to the alternative installation
for WizLINK standard version.
Note: If it is not in the above two forms provided by WIZ-TEC, you must
check with your distributor for installation instructions and make sure
that all the original unaltered files are present after installation.
4) Getting help from WizLINK
Read the "LICENSE.DOC" for WizLINK licensing terms and conditions. Run
WizLINKu.EXE - WizLINK utility program for more detailed help. Within
WizLINKu, you can review the complete manual ([F3] key), on line help
([F1] key), WizLINK setup options and your phone book entries. WizLINK.COM
is the program handling all the remote control tasks. Type "WizLINK /?"
for the command line help. Read the manual, either within WizLINKu program
or use any text file browser ("MANULA.DOC" is WizLINK user's manual file).
Try it, it is exciting. Enjory it. Be a friend and supporter of WizLINK.

*PHONEBOOK,A
╔══════════════╗
║ Phone Book ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚══════════════╩════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WizLINK utility program maintains a 100 entry phone book which memorizes
the setup information within each entry. Use [F9] to select and read a
phone book record, and use [F10] to select and write to the phone book.
When program starts, WizLINKu will read the default data from WizLINK.COM
instead of from any phone book entry.
- Name: Name/title of the phone book entry.
- Note: A brief description of the phone book entry.
- Phone: Call or back call phone number.
- Read phone book: Press [F9] to bring up a pick list under the name of
each entry. Scroll and select the record you need, and press [ENTER]
to read and fill the record into the current form.
- Write to phone book: Press [F10] at any field will bring up the phone
book list. Press [ENTER] to save the current form information into
the phone book. Data under the same record will be overwritten by the
current setup.
- There is also a pick list for the phone number entry in the file
"WizLINK.LST" under "*PHONENUMBER" section. You may use a text editor
to edit these numbers to re-configure WizLINKu at runtime. To do so,
you must be very familiar and comfortable with the operation of the
entire program. Refer to User's Manual for more details.
- Others: When starting the program, if the "WizLINK.DAT" file is not
found in either the current directory, or the "PATH" environment, the
program will automatically create one with current WizLINK settings
and fill the settings into all entries. If more than one copy of
"WizLINK.DAT" are found under several directories, WizLINKu will
use the first one from the file search.
*WIZPASSWORD,A
╔════════════════════╗
║ WizLINK Password ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WizLINK utilizes passwords and logins protection for each and every remote
control and file transfer. The password may be any 19 digit alphanumeric
(case insensitive) combinations. For the host, the password is set to allow
only legitimate remote computers to login. For the remote, a correct
password is required to login the host computer. An incorrect password
will automatically shut down the host computer.
- Password:
For the host TSR mode, it is the password (setup password) for other
computers to match and login. When you set the WizLINK default values
for the host mode using [F5] function, the setup password will be
written to WizLINK. For the remote mode, it is the password (login
password) set by the host. You must present the correct password before
the remote control or file transfer session.
- There is also a pick list for both of these passwords. This list
entry is from file "WizLINK.LST" under "*PASSWORD" section. You may
use a text editor to edit these numbers to re-configure WizLINKu at
runtime if you are very familiar and comfortable with the program
operation. Refer to User's Manual for more details.
- Note: Passwords are case insensitive - all lower case letters will
be converted into upper cases at runtime. No under line "_" should
be used, or will be converted into a space according to the command
line password setting convention. Under "Back/wait call" (the host
call the remote) situation, the host can be set to skip password
checking.
*BASICSETUP,A
╔═══════════════╗
║ Basic Setup ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚═══════════════╩═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This is the WizLINK basic setup session. These setups are very essential
for WizLINK to operate, and are at the low level (i.e. hardware dependent).
- Comm port: The communication port number. 1 to 4 supported by WizLINK.
You may either enter the number or use [F2] to select from the pick
list.
- Baud rate: The speed for WizLINK to operate at a selected comm port.
It is determined by both the host modem and the remote modem. The
highest speed is 9600 for a modem. When directly connected through
a "null modem" cable with a speed higher than 9600, WizLINK will
allocate a bigger buffer automatically (double at each higher level).
WizLINK supports up to 115K in direct connection mode. WizLINK
requires high speed machines on both ends for high speed transmission.
Higher speed and extended communication buffer are the only two
factors that will increase the TSR size in the DOS memory.
- IRQs: The interrupt request. Normally, IRQ4 for COM1, IRQ3 for COM2,
and IRQ3 or IRQ4 are used for either COM3 or COM4 depending on the
hardware settings. Consult your hardware manual for the settings.
- ComBase: The communication port base address. Although you can change
the values from the pick list, WizLINK currently uses the default
settings always. Therefore, the value you set will be ignored.
- Note: All pick lists are stored in the file "WizLINK.LST" sections
(each section starts with a "*" followed by the section keyword).
You should not change these lists unless you are absolutely sure of
what you are doing. Changes in these sessions will re-configure
WizLINKu's pick list at runtime. Refer to User's Manual for more
details.
*BUFFERSIZE,A
╔═══════════════╗
║ Buffer Size ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚═══════════════╩═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When running in the remote mode, WizLINK allocates about 20K of buffer for
the input and output communication. When running in the host mode, the
input/output buffer is set at 256 bytes (minimal size, default value) for
speeds under 19.2K. At runtime, WizLINK will allocate up to 5 times as much
space as this base size for a direct connection at a higher speed. A bigger
buffer will enhance the remote control performance a bit, but will also
increase the TSR size. You should not change the buffer size, especially
the input buffer size unless you have a good reason, since WizLINK's auto
speed buffer and extended buffer flag already optimizes it for you. Note
that the buffer size does not have any effect on the file transfer session.
- Input buffer (Host only): This is the input buffer. Normally, 256
bytes is plenty regardless of the speed since most of the traffic
during remote control is from the host sending large volume of screen
information to the remote, while the remote sends only instructions
to the host.
- Output buffer (Host only): If you want to allocate a bigger buffer
for the remote control performance, the output buffer should be the
first one to consider increase.
- Extended buffer: When extended buffer is set, WizLINK will double the
input and output buffer at runtime. This is an option from command
line only.
- Auto speed buffer: when speed is equal or greater than 19.2K, WizLINK
will allocate a bigger buffer at the host TSR--double at each higher
speed level. The growth of the tow buffer is not propotional.
- Notes: Increase in the base buffer size and/or the extended buffer
and/or speed buffer will increase the host TSR size accordingly.
Increase in buffer size or speed will not have any impact on the file
transfer session, because it utilizes a different communication
schedule from the remote transfer mode. Remote mode buffer size,
fully automatic at runtime, about 20K.
*WIZLINKMODE,A
╔═════════════════╗
║ Mode Settings ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚═════════════════╩═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WizLINK can operate in two modes.
- Remote mode: WizLINK runs in the "control" mode, sending instructions
to the host and receiving host's responses.
- Host mode: WizLINK runs in the "being controlled" mode, receiving and
executing instructions from the remote and sending screen information
to the remote.
- Back call/Wait call: Normally, the remote computer calls up the host
and executes remote control. There are situations where the host
needs to initiate the link. To do this, run WizLINK wait call mode
at the remote end, install the TSR at the host end, and run WizLINK
again from the host in back call mode to dial the phone. After
WizLINK detects the answer tone from the remote, it will exit and
hand over the remote link task to the remote computer as for a
regular remote link.
*OPTIONSWITCH,A
╔════════════════════╗
║ Options/Switches ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WizLINK utilizes many options/switches to re-configure its function at run
time. The following switches are currently supported by WizLINK.
- Screen buffer speed: This provides an option to alter remote control
performance as briefly described in the [Buffer Size] section. Its
effect is very significant for high speed connection but will also
slow donw other tasks of the host a lot. Not recommand for slow
machines to set to "Fast", especially when the host computer is much
slower.
- Extended buffer: One command line switch only. It will double both
the input/output buffer (based on the default settings) when
installed in the host TSR. Refer to [Buffer Size] section for more
details.
- CGA snow control: WizLINK utilizes direct video addressing method
that might generate snow on some CGA monitors. Enable snow control
option will inform WizLINK to refresh the video memory only
during interlace time to avoid the snow.
- Connection type: WizLINK can use either a modem or a direct RS232
cable (null modem) for the remote control. The highest speed for a
modem is 9600. WizLINK will skip all modem handling for a direct
connection.
- Key paste method: When the remote computer sends in a key instruction,
the host will paste it into its own keyboard buffer as if the remote
computer had just pressed the key. WizLINK can use 2 different methods
to perform this key paste procedure - through BIOS calls, or through
direct BIOS key buffer. In some cases, where the foreground program
or some TSRs may re-map the BIOS key buffer into a different location
and make it invisible for WizLINK, the BIOS call method should be
used.
- Back call login: For back/wait call remote link, password protection
of the host is enabled/disabled by toggling this login switch "ON" or
"OFF." For regular remote link, password protect is always on. Refer
to User's Manual and WizLINK mode settings for more detail.
- Use password: For the remote computer, if this option is set to
"Prompt," WizLINK will ignore the default password and prompt for re-
entering the password instead. If it is set to "Default," WizLINK
will skip this step and use the default directly.
- Use phone number: If it is set to "Prompt" before the calling, WizLINK
will ignore the default phone number and prompt for re-entering a new
one for the dialing. If it is set to "Default," WizLINK will skip this
step and use the default number directly.
- Modem carrier: Normally, when through modem connection, WizLINK will
always detect the carrier loss. When carrier is lost during either
the remote control or file transfer session, WizLINK will hang up
and re-initialize the modem automatically. If this option is set to
"Ignore", WizLINK will still ignore such carrier loss and continuing
its on line session. Some modems/computers, due to varies settings or
possible hardware defect, will not set the carrier singal in modem
status register. Under such cases, ignore carrier may have WizLINK
to work. For a direct connect, WizLINK will automatically set to /O+.
*OPTIONOTHERS,A
╔══════════════════╗
║ Options/Others ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚══════════════════╩════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Screen saver index: The number defines how many multiples of 5 minutes
(computer idle time) will activate WizLINK's screen saver function.
If the setting is zero, screen saver is disabled.
- Speed pausing index: At high speed direct connection (e.g. 115K), if
one computer is too slow to match the other one, missing data might
happen even during the file transfer session. To set this index you
will have WizLINK to put a pausing "delay" before each transmission
to secure it. Note: even the speed pausing index is set at a very
high level, it might still work error free since the nature of the
very high speed interrupt and un-predicable data transfer. other
running programs (background/foregroound) sharing the computer time
will also have some effect. Step down one to two speed level would
be a better choice than this pausing schedule.
*MODEMSETUP,A
╔═════════════════╗
║ Modem Strings ║ [F1] - help, [ESC] - quit, cursor keys - scroll
╚═════════════════╩═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
For the modem handling, WizLINK uses a group of setup strings. Most of
these strings can be changed for a particular task/preference. The sequence
of these strings are: a) Send [Modem Escape] (always +++); b) [Modem Reset]
(which includes hang up in the reset string); c) [Modem Caller String] for
calling mode (remote/back call), or [Modem Answer String] for answering
mode (host/wait call); d) [Modem 9600 String] if modem speed is 9600 or
higher; and e) [Modem Extra String] f) [Dial] command and number.
- Modem Escape: Always "+++"
- Modem Dial: Always "ATDT" for tone and "ATDP" for pulse determined
at runtime
- Modem Reset: Modem hang up, reset and basic initialization
- Modem Caller: The calling mode (remote or back call) modem string
- Modem Answer: The answering mode (host or wait call) modem string
- Modem 9600: Additional setup string for 9600 modem
- Modem Extra: Extra modem setup string in addition to those above
- There are pick lists for all the modem setup strings in "WizLINK.LST"
files under the list section (section starts with a *). You may use a
text editor to change these settings to re-configure WizLINKu at
runtime only if you are very familiar with the entire program. Refer
to User's Manual for more details.
