- SCRIPT SETUP
- ────────────
-
- Step 1: Designate PATH
-
- -- this script requires the following files to all be in the same
- directory -- .REP files from a QWK format reader, .UL files
- from Megareader. Once you decide on which directory this will
- be, search the script for "PATH:" and replace with the actual
- directory. For example..if you'll be keeping everything in
- C:\Mail...then replace "PATH:" with "C:\Mail\"
-
- Step 2: Set the Flag Files
-
- -- the script depends on two "flag" files for proper operation.
- I've named one of them "rep.off"..this one is used to determine
- whether or not you have replies to send to a .QWK format door.
- The other is "bi.off"..this one is used to determine whether
- you have files to transfer via bimodem.
-
- -- you must create these files. Log on to your PATH directory
- (from step one) and create the files by:
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────
- rem >rep.off │ Using the "rem" statement will create "0" byte
- rem >bi.off │ files. Verify it with a "dir" after creating.
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- -- these files are critical to proper operation.
-
- Step 3: Insert Your Name In the Script
-
- -- search the script for FIRST, replace with your first name (the
- one you use on the BBSs).
-
- -- search the script for LAST, replace with your last name
-
- Step 4: Insert Your WildCat! Verification Data
-
- -- search the script for MMDDYY, replace with the birthdate you
- use on WildCat! BBSs..hopefully, you've given them all the same
- date..the script won't work, otherwise.
-
- -- search the script for 703XXXXXXX, replace the XXXXXXX with the
- phone number you gave WildCat! BBSs..again, the data must be
- consistent across all WildCat! BBSs.
-
- Step 5: Adjust Your ZModem Command Lines
-
- -- search the script for "dsz"..the only change you may wish to
- make is to delete the "-u" switch from the upload command
- lines. The "-u" switch was added to the Dec 90 version of DSZ.
- It deletes the .rep packets right after a successful upload.
- It's a personal call on whether you want to do it this way...I
- personally prefer it, you may not. Also, be sure dsz.com (or
- exe) is in your main Dos path..otherwise, you'll need to add
- the path info in front of dsz, i.e. {exec c:\comm\dsz port ...}
-
- NOTE: You must use a registered version of DSZ. Shareware
- versions don't support download paths. No harm done, but the
- download will go to your default directory, rather than to some
- other directory you may want.
-
- Step 6: Adjust Your BiModem Command Line
-
- -- search the script for "bimodem" (one occurrence). You'll see a
- BIPTH. This represents the path to your bimodem.cfg file.
- Replace with the actual path. Let's suppose your bimodem.cfg
- file is in a directory called C:\Comm. Replace BIPTH:\ with
- C:\Comm\. Also, be sure the directory where your main bimodem
- executable is located is in your main path..otherwise, you'll
- need to add the path in front of "bimodem", i.e
-
- {exec c:\comm\bimodem /c ....}
-
- Step 7: Save the Commo.mac file
-
- -- proceed to Readme.2nd
