- Important MyComm Update Information!
-
- Three Items:
-
- --------------------
- Item 1 of 3:
-
- New with MyComm version 2.15 through 2.23
- Script language changes
-
- Several changes were made to the MyComm "script" language.
- Some of the changes such as needing to enclose strings in
- quotes are not compatible with the previous version of the
- script language. This was unfortunately necessary to provide
- certain enhancements to the existing script language.
- The changes are fairly simple to make, however your script
- files will require some manual editing.
-
- Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
-
- Script language changes incompatible with versions
- of MyComm below version 2.15:
-
- - all strings must be enclosed in quotes i.e. "some string"
-
- - string flags must begin with 'S' i.e S1, S2, etc.
-
- - integer flags must begin with 'I' i.e. I1, I2, etc.
-
- Enhancements to MyComm script language
-
- - There are now ten rather than 5 string and integer flags
-
- - Several functions were enhanced to take optional parameters
-
- - Several new functions have been added.
-
- Please refer to Appendix E "Script Language" in MYCOMM.DOC
- for further information.
-
- --------------------
- Item 2 of 3:
-
- A more standard notation for entering "control" characters in the
- setup strings and script function strings has been added starting with
- MyComm version 2.11.
-
- For example '^M' now superceeds '|' as the Carraige Return symbol.
- The '|' (also known as the "pipe" symbol) is still supported in
- MyComm version 2.15 but will eventually be phased out. As time
- permits all incidences of the '|' symbol should be replaced in your
- Modem Setup Strings and the XMIT() script function.
-
- --------------------
- Item 3 of 3:
- New with MyComm version 2.1 and above
- Configuration file changes
-
- The format of the configuration file (MYCOMM.CFG) used by
- MyComm version 2.1x has changed due to features that have
- been added to MyComm. For your convenience the program
- CNVRT2NW.EXE is provided to perform the necessary
- conversion for you. Use this conversion program only if you
- are currently using MyComm version 2.0, 2.01, or 2.02.
-
- Usage of CNVRT2NW.EXE
-
- Step 1: Copy CNVRT2NW.EXE to the directory that you keep
- MyComm in.
-
- Step 2: Type CNVRT2NW at the DOS prompt. You will see
- some short instructions. Type 'Y' to continue,
- or 'N' to quit. The CNVRT2NW program will run
- and perform the required conversion for you.
-
- The CNVRT2NW program also creates the file MYCM_OLD.CFG
- which is a backup of your current configuration. After you
- have determined that the conversion has taken place
- correctly you may delete the file MYCM_OLD.CFG.
-
-
- NOTE!
-
- The CNVRT2NW.EXE program will NOT work with versions of MyComm
- below version 2.0! Sorry for any inconvenience.
