- MOSTHOST.MAC (Regular version)
-
- by Shad Muegge and Fred Brucker
-
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION
-
- MOSTHOST is a complete host mode written in the {COMMO} macro
- language. The host mode can be used to remotely access your
- machine, or you can set it up so friends or associates can
- call to send or receive files to/from your system.
-
- All callers can upload and download to/from one specified
- directory ("filedir" in MOSTHOST configuration). From the
- password protected DOS menu you can change to any desired
- directory.
-
- Features:
- * Multiple users
- * File transfers
- * Sysop chat with word wrap
- * A complete DOS access menu (password protected)
- * Using DOORWAY by Marshall Dudley you can access
- DOS directly from the remote. Download
- DRWY222.ZIP (or later). The author's BBS number
- is 615-966-3574 (Byte Runner).
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- All you need to do to get MOSTHOST working is:
-
- (1) Create two sub-directories beneath your {COMMO} directory
- called MHDATA and MHFILE (configurable in MOSTHOST.MAC).
-
- (2) Make sure that MOSTHOST.MAC is in your {COMMO} home
- directory.
-
- MHDATA will contain the User Data File, so keep it separate
- from MHFILE which will be accessible to all callers for
- uploading and downloading. As sysop, you can use your DOS
- password to access any directory on your computer.
-
- Start up {COMMO} as you do for calling out. Press ALT+U to
- bring up the utility menu. Select "Install/View" and check
- the items in the configuration section of the host macro.
-
- Observe the following:
-
- * Be sure to set "protodir" in the Paths and Files section
- of COMMO.SET. This item tells {COMMO} where to find any
- external protocol programs you may use.
-
- * If you use the Doorway feature on the DOS menu, you will
- need to download Marshall Dudley's DOORWAY shareware
- program. Place DOORWAY.EXE in a directory that is in your
- DOS path.
-
- MAINTAINING THE USER FILE
-
- The User Data File USER.MHS is normally created and
- maintained by MOSTHOST. Three lines will be added for each
- user when they log on to the system for the first time:
- name, password and protocol. Users may be deleted by
- deleting all three lines.
-
- ENHANCED VERSION OF MOSTHOST
-
- An enhanced version of the MOSTHOST is available to
- registered {COMMO} users. It lets you set up your own
- little BBS. Added features include: messaging with
- word-wrap, bulletins, expert mode, hot menus, separate files
- for menus (for easy customizing, adding color, etc.), file
- descriptions for uploads, and more. See REGISTER.FRM for
- ordering details.
