~3~* is pleased to offer:
~6ST-QWK v~V: offline mail door by: A+ Software
~7Programmed by: David Blanchard
Copyright (c) 1992,1993,1994
A+ Software
~3When entering the door you will be presented with a menu.
The ten options are:
~2[~7D~2] ~3'D'ownload QWK packet
~6Are you ready to 'D'ownload your QWK packet? First, ST-QWK will
create your CONTROL.DAT and DOOR.ID files needed by your reader. It
will then ask you for the compression method, which for now includes
Zip, Arc, & Lzh. (Note: most of these options are hot-keyed). Then
it will ask you for the maximum number of message per base to scan.
Type in a number or hit [Enter] for all. It will then ask if you wish
to scan only messages to you. Typing 'Y' will only send messages to
you, and your High Message Reads WILL NOT be updated. That way, you
may go back and scan the other messages in the base manually via
FidoDoor, or download a complete QWK later. Hitting 'N' will send all
messages that you have not read, up to the maximum number that you
specified. After answering this prompt, ST-QWK will proceed to
analyze the messages and store them in the MESSAGES.DAT file.
Everytime it finds a message base that you have marked for scan, (and
provided you have read access to it) it will print a status report on
that conference after scanning it. If there no new messages, it will
not print anything. After it scans all the bases, the archiver you
selected will be called up, and will pack everything into the .QWK
file. You will be asked for your preferred transfer protocol, and XYZ
will be called with the proper parameters. After the transfer, the
program will end and return to the BBS.
~2[~7P~2] ~3Selected Download
~6This selection works the same way as the '~7D~6'ownload option, with one
major exception: During the scan of your bases marked for scan, you
will be prompted on whether or not you wish to have this base scanned.
~2[~7!~2] ~3Zap Download.
~6This option allows you to use your default settings
from '~7M~6'iscellaneous Config to auto download your stored settings.
~2[~7U~2] ~3'U'pload REP packet
~6Ready to upload a REPly? Select the '~7U~6'pload REP option. ST-QWK
will ask you for the transfer protocol and execute XYZ to receive the
REP packet. The program is capable of detecting the type of archive,
and calling the appropriate extraction routine. If it can't deter-
mine the archive type, the process will be halted, and an error logged
to the screen and logfile. It will recognize the following archive
methods: ARC, LZH, ZIP & ARJ. The messages will be imported, and a
report returned. When completed, you will be returned to the BBS.
~2[~7S~2] ~3'S'can settings
~6ST-QWK v~V uses the scan settings that are in FidoDoor, and can
be configured from either program. FidoDoor, by default, turns all the
scan settings on; you NEED to set your scan settings before attempting
a download. The Configure section displays the bases in increments
of 32, displaying the Conference name and status of the scan setting
(on or off). You may enter the number or numbers of the bases you
want to change. i.e. "~725~6" will turn off base 25, and "22-25 30 2" will
turn off bases 2,22,23,24,25 & 30. Hitting '~7C~6' will continue to list
more base settings, until it cannot display anymore, and will return to
the main menu. Hitting '~7P~6' will go to the previous page, in case you
missed something. Hitting '~7Q~6' will quit back to the main menu on
any screen saving your progress to that point.
~2[~7C~2] ~3'C'hange High Message Reads
~6Allows you to view your current high message pointers and change them.
Shown on the screen are the bases you have set up to download from
(Selected under '~7S~6'can Settings) along with your current high message
pointer. just type the number you want to change and the program will
prompt you for the range to enter your new high message pointer.
Hitting '~7C~6' will continue to list more base settings, until it cannot
display anymore, and will return to the main menu. Hitting '~7R~6' will
redisplay the screen. Hitting '~7P~6' will go to the previous page, in
case you missed something. Hitting '~7Q~6' will quit back to the main menu
saving your progress to that point.
~2[~7M~2] ~3'M'iscellaneous Config settings
~6In this part of the program, you can select several options that
can be used in conjunction with the Zap Download option. 1st is
the 'Scan Personal Message Only' toggle. If set to '~7Y~6'es, ST-QWK
will only scan out messages addressed to you, and does *not* modify
your high-message pointers. The second option is 'Max messages to
scan per base'. Enter an integer value greater than zero, followed
by a carriage return. Third is the archive format selection, either
ARC, LZH or ZIP. Fourth is the default download protocol selection,
either Xmodem CRC, Xmodem 1K, Ymodem, or Zmodem. And finally, there
is the toggle for Auto Logoff after transfer (works for either Zap
or regular download)
~2[~7H~2] ~3'H'elp file
~6This help file being displayed!
~2[~7G~2] ~3'G'raphics Setting
~6Allows you to toggle the current graphics mode. Press ~7<c/r>~6 for no
change.
~2[~7Q~2] ~3'Q'uit. ~6The Quit option should be pretty self explanatory.
