- Comet Sample Scripts
-
- This folder contains some Comet documents which you may find useful as
- models.
-
- The "cuinfo" document uses a Connection macro to automatically log on to
- the staff directory via the campus internet.
-
- Modem/Sytek examples
-
- These documents may need to be reconfigured if your modem is not
- configured to run at 9600 baud, with 2 stop bits and no parity bit.
-
- You can use these documents with Comet either using a modem at home or
- over a direct Sytek connection. If you are using a modem, first launch
- Comet using a "Modem" document for one of the phone lines Cornell offers
- to connect to Sytek; the Connection macro will dial the phone (using
- Hayes AT-style commands) and wait for a response from Sytek.
-
- If the connection succeeds, you can the use the File menu "Open..."
- command to open the "Sytek" document for the host you which to access.
- If you have not already used "Close session" to close the "Modem"
- document, a dialog will offer to close it for you, and will then proceed
- to call the Sytek port for the host using a Connection macro.
-
- If the "Modem" connection fails, you can open another "Modem" document
- to try another phone number. (You should call Cornell's Network
- Operating Center at 255-9900 first, however, to report the problem!).
-
-
- Library examples
-
- The "AutoLib" documents make open a connection to Cornell's NOTIS
- system, which offers users a remotely-accessible library card file. If
- you examine the Connection macro, you can see that the first command,
- "!CH", prevents updates from appearing on the terminal emulator screen.
- The last command waits for a string to arrive from the host; Comet
- automatically appends a "!CS" command to a Connection macro so that the
- screen will be updated, but the macro needs to explicitly wait for the
- last screen to be sent, since the screen will be updated as soon as the
- Connection macro is complete.
-
- The "AutoLib-Modem" documents may need to be reconfigured if your
- modem is not configured to run at 9600 baud, with 2 stop bits and no
- parity bit.
-
- The "ALA" document is a document which is used to enter the
- foreign language characters and diacritical marks into the NOTIS system,
- and provides a good example of extensive key re-mapping using Key
- macros. In this case, the keyboard has been remapped to duplicate the
- standard keymapping for Yale's TinCan serial terminal emulator.
