Baud Bandit terminal demo release
by Greg Cunningham
Copyright 1988 by
Progressive Peripherals & Software.
A soon to be commercial terminal program.
This is the commercial name to be looking for!
The first thing you'll notice is all of the nice cryptic items across the menu
bar. These may be selected by clicking the menu button while the pointer is
over the item.
In order from left to right, I have them labeled with letters.
Also right Amiga command sequences will work with some items, as noted.
2400 CCF8N1 S |XC X D/L U/L| SEND CAPT SUS B HU DN Phone Config TEXT
| |||||| | || | | | | | | | | | | | |
A BCDEFG H IJ K L M N O P Q R S T U V
A. Baud - Clicking on this will flip it thru 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200,
Amiga-B then back to 19200.
B. Recieve CR 'C' or CR+LF 'L'.
C. Transmit CR or CR+LF.
D. Duplex 'F'ull or 'H'alf.
E. Lenght '7' or '8' bit word length.
F. Parity 'N'one, 'O'dd, 'E'ven, 'M'ark, or 'S'pace.
G. Stop bits '1' or '2'.
H. SplitScreen Use this for sending lines of text only at CR.
Amiga-/
I. X Disable Highlighted for auto xON/xOFF, else off.
Ctrl-Q/S
J. CRC Highlighted CRC, else Checksum for XModem only.
K. Protocol X - XModem
Amiga-X Y - TRUE YModem / YModem-Batch
T - XModem Text & WXModem Text Send
G - YModem-G
K - fake YMODEM / XModem-1K
W - WXModem
These may also be placed in the phonebook parameters.
When recieving YModem-Batch, it's optional to enter a
filename or just hit the [ENTER] key or the Okay gadget.
When sending YModem-Batch, you must select at least one file.
Entering the name in the string will not work.
L. DownLoad Calls up what I hope to be a good immitation TxEd
Amiga-D file requestor, like in the other terms.
The arrows beside the devices will scroll showing whatever
devices are currently active, including S: and C:.
Enter the filename in the string on the bottom, and the directory
(and PC-DOS/Amiga pattern if needed) in the string at the top.
Hitting return or Okay will start the process.
The number in the title is the bytes free on the disk.
It sorts now!
M. UpLoad see L.
Amiga-U
N. Text Send Opens that requestor for a name (see L.).
Amiga-S The SEND item will dehighlight when done.
To stop the send prematurely, select this item again.
SUS will toggle suspending it.
O. Text Capture
Amiga-C Opens that requestor for a name (see L.).
If the file exists, the text will be appended.
The CAPT item will dehighlight when done.
To stop the capture prematurely, select this item again.
P. Suspend Selecting SUS will toggle suspending Text capture/send.
Q. Send Break Send break.
Amiga-L
R. Hang Up Send (config) Hangup string.
Amiga-H
S. Dial Next This will dial the first selected name in the phonebook.
Amiga-N If the line was busy, selecting it again will redial
Note: If a connection was made, the name is deselected,
and the next time DN is selected, it will dial the next
selected name.
T. PhoneBook This will bring up the phonebook.
Amiga-P this should be placed in the current 'S:' directory.
Dial Selecting 'Dial' will dial the top selected name and set it's
Amiga-R parameters (see A. thru G.) accordingly.
Example phonebook entry with offsets:
| BBS Name | Phone Number |Baud|Setup|Script Pairs 20 Max (?=!)
People Link 225-3444 2400 CCF8N1W (2400=\w\w\w\w\w@\w\r)
The character '|' at the beginning of a line donotes a comment
The character '-' at the beginning of a line donotes a seperator
Script There is also an optional script set, placed after the setup.
These work in pairs, and must be enclosed in parens '()',
and must have a '=' dividing them.
The first of a pair is the prompt, which must be one word,
such as for 'Your name: ' you would use 'name:' as the prompt.
Also this is case sensitive.
The second is the string to send.
Exaple: (Name:=Greg\r)
BBS says: Name:
Bandit says: Greg\r
Here's one I use for BBS-PC
([RETURN]=\r^PMy Name\rPassword\r)
BBS says: Press [RETURN]
Bandit says: return, control-P, name, password.
