- PCZMOUSE
-
- PCZMOUSE is a Logitech mouse menu for use with the PCZ
- external protocol driver by Drue Kennon and Gary Smith.
- Since it is Microsoft (tm) compatible, it should work with a
- good many mice.
-
- PCSMOUSE will shell to DOS and run PCZ in the menu mode with
- the parameters in the PCZ.CFG file. The shell to DOS function
- is defined in this menu as ALT J for use with WTERM but that
- be changed easily be changed with the .DEF file included.
- When filenames are needed, PCZ will pause waiting for them to
- be entered.
-
- This menu calls PCZM.BAT which then runs PCZ in menu mode.
- PCZM.BAT ends with an "EXIT" command which drops you back
- into your comm program.
-
- Files included in PCZMOUSE:
-
- PCZMOUSE.DOC This file
- PCZ.DEF The menu source
- PCZ.CFG Example PCZ.CFG
- PCZ.MNU Compiled menu file
- SETUP SET statements
- PCZM.BAT Batch file to run PCZ in menu mode and do an
- EXIT back to the comm program.
-
-
- Setting up PCZMOUSE
-
- Be sure to use an ASCII editor to edit the following files --
- NOT a word processor that will throw in extra formating
- characters.
-
- First, if you haven't already done so, include the following
- three commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- MOUSE
- MENU
- CLICK
-
- NOTE: These commands are for the Logitech mouse. Your mouse
- may require different commands.
-
- You now need to add some set commands to AUTOEXEC.BAT that
- PCZ needs. SETUP contains an example of the commands to add:
-
- PCZDIR=C:\WTERM\
- PCZLOG=C:\WTERM\
- PCZPORT=1
- PCZSPEED=2400
-
- Substitute your drive and path for C:\WTERM\ above.
-
- Edit your CLICK.SRC file so that the menu will automatically
- be loaded with the program you intend to use PCZMOUSE with.
- Add the following example line to CLICK.SRC:
-
- WTERM menu 3button
-
- If your mouse is a microsoft(tm) compatible mouse and you
- don't need to change the shell to DOS command, rename PCZ.MNU
- to the name of your comm program with a .MNU extension and
- place it in your comm program directory or in the directory
- where your other .MNU files are located and you are ready to
- give it a try. Otherwise, read on.
-
-
- Changing the Shell To DOS key
-
- In place of WTERM above, use the name of your comm program
- instead. Then rename PCZ.DEF to the name of your comm
- program with a .DEF extension; Example: WTERM.DEF
-
- If your comm program uses an ALT key other than ALT-J, edit
- the .DEF file and change the following line:
-
- CALL: TYPE 0,36,"PCZM",ENTER
-
- 0,36 is the code for an ALT-J. Consult your Logitech User's
- manual for the ALT key your program uses. Example: Qmodem
- uses ALT-R for a shell. An ALT-R is a 0,19 so change the
- CALL line above to:
-
- CALL: TYPE 0,19,"PCZM",ENTER
-
- When finished, compile the menu with NEWMENU:
-
- NEWMENU WTERM.DEF
-
- Make sure all these files, PCZ, and your .MNU file is in your
- comm program's directory.
-
- You are now ready to load your comm program and give it a
- test. When you are able to click the left mouse button,
- select up or download, select a protocol and PCZ loads, you
- are ready to call a board and give it a real test.
