- Due to the number of requests from sysop's on "how" to set up
- THD ProScan to work with their BBS programs, I am including this explanation
- for setup in Telegard 2.7 and for T.A.G. 2.6c.
- Although it works equally well with other BBS programs, These are the
- only two programs which I feel qualified to advise on proper installation.
- But first a multi-purpose batch file for those wishing to test numerous
- files in a single directory.
-
- GENERAL PURPOSE BATCH FILE
- --------------------------
- DIRTEST.BAT
- -----------
- @ECHO OFF
- CTTY CON
- FOR %%F IN (%1\*.*) DO C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %%F
-
-
- This will cause all files in the supplied directory to be tested. However,
- be warned that only the errorlevel from the last file tested will be
- returned to the calling program.
- Syntax for this batch file would be C:\THDPRO\DIRTEST.BAT C:\TEST
- where DIRTEST.BAT is located in "C:\THDPRO" and "C:\TEST" is the directory
- containing the files to be tested.
-
- TELEGARD 2.7
- ------------
- Lets start from scratch..
- make a dir called C:\THDPRO
- change to that directory.
- unzip THDpro-5 into that directory (or unarj, whatever).
- run THDINSTL.EXE
- answer all the questions and double check the settings on the final two
- screens as if your life depended on it's being correct.
- change to your BBS directory.
- type TELEGARD -K
- press "P"
- look at option "L".. make note of the path here
- shell to dos.
- go to the directory just seen in option "L".
- copy THDPRO.EXE from C:\THDPRO\ to this directory.
- return to TG (exit shell).
- press "F"
- press "A"
- press "M"
- press "1" (which I assume will correspond to the "ZIP" archive type)
- check the first option to be sure it is marked "ACTIVE" (if not mark it
- active).
- change line "#6" to read "THDPRO.EXE @F"
- Press "Q" until you are back at the "WFC" screen and from their do a local
- logon.
- Once logged on.. Go to the file section and list the files long enough to
- find the name of a single valid "zip" file.
- now type at the menu prompt "//\\AT"
- enter the name of the "zip" filename you just found using "list"
- answer no to delete files question.. and No to search all dirs question.
- watch the output on your side to see if the file is being scanned.
-
- The ONLY reason that this process (if followed EXACTLY) would not
- work.. is because you have no directory listed under option "L" (as above).
- IF you do not have a directory specified there, then change the "line #6"
- mentioned above to include the full path "C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE @F".. DO NOT
- enter this if there is a path in option "L" or the archive tester will not
- be found.
- Also.. you might wish to test it from the command line as follows to be
- sure that it works.
- type
- C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE C:\COMMAND.COM
- This will show you the scanner at work and if you do not see this type
- of screen when run it from TG.. then you have failed in configuring TG NOT
- the fault of the scanner.
- This is FAR more detailed than I had ever hoped to have to get. Any TG
- sysop should be able to accomplish this without such detail.. BUT given that
- you may never have had to do this before.. Follow the instructions
- EXACTLY!!!!
-
- T.A.G. 2.6c
- --------
-
- T.A.G. is very simple to set up. T.A.G. simply runs a file called
- "FILETEST.BAT" (found in the main BBS directory). So to set up T.A.G. you
- need only make your FILETEST.BAT read as follows...
-
- FILETEST.BAT
- ------------
- CTTY CON
- C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %1%2.%3 {optional comport #}
-
- This will cause all uploaded files to be tested by THDPRO.EXE in the
- directory "C:\THDPRO". The "optional comport #" is for use with systems
- running multi-nodes where the output is to be sent to a comport other than
- the one configured directly into the program. This parameter is to be ONLY a
- single digit between 0 and 8.
