- USING COMMO WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Please refer to the COMMO manual for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. The following installation
- steps should work if you're familiar with editing the COMMO setup
- and macro files.
-
- Copy HSLINK.EXE into your COMMO directory, or into a directory
- included in your search PATH.
-
- Use a text editor to modify the file COMMO.SET. Add the following
- line to enable HS/Link autodownloading:
- {aut=hslink,^bR} Auto Receive, HS/Link
-
- Use a text editor to modify the file COMMO.MAC. Add the following
- line to the UPLOAD menu section:
-
- ║ HS/Link using HSLINK.EXE ║ {goto hsul}
-
- Remember to include the text beyond column 80!. Now add this line
- to the DOWNLOAD menu section:
-
- ║ HS/Link using HSLINK.EXE ║ {goto hslink}
-
- Next, add this line to the table of download protocol macros:
-
- HS/Link {:hsul} {call gfnu} {exec HSLINK -p%_por %file} {} HSLINK.EXE
-
- Finally, add this line to the table of upload protocol macros:
-
- HS/Link {:hslink} {exec HSLINK -p%_por -u%dldir} {} HSLINK.EXE
-
- If you made all the changes correctly, you might have a working
- installation of HS/Link in COMMO. Since these edits are a bit
- tricky, I have included sample COMMO.SET and COMMO.MAC files for
- you to examine and/or use, but remember the files might need other
- changes for your specific system and modem configuration.
-
- To download with HS/LINK, just you tell the BBS you're talking to
- what files you want to download, and that you want to download in
- the HS/LINK protocol. On the Tool Shop you can do this with the
- following command:
- D H filename filename S
- for example,
- D H TOOLSHOP.EXE S
-
- Once you've got the BBS into downloading mode, COMMO will
- automatically detect HS/Link and will call up the HSLINK.EXE
- program to handle it.
-
- If you want to upload to the BBS while downloading, have to be
- quick to press PGUP before the autodownload sequence is detected.
- Then cursor down to HS/Link in the menu and hit enter. Specify the
- files to upload and press ENTER again.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take respons-
- ibility for any damages resulting from these instructions. If you get
- stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with COMMO and
- with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for help
- on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will know
- the answer and give you a hand.
-
- Good luck!
