-
-
- Support File Changes
- --------------------
-
- There are no required changes to the support files.
-
-
- {COMMO} Auto Receive
- --------------------
-
- {COMMO} Auto Receive can detect when the remote wants to send a file via
- Zmodem or Puma, then activate any macro you select. Auto Receive is
- enabled by placing special macro-id's on your Zmodem and/or Puma receive
- macros:
-
- {.z.} for Zmodem (use with DSZ.COM)
- {.p.} for Puma (use with PUMA.COM)
-
- Remember that a macro may have more than one macro-id:
-
- ZMODEM batch {af1} {.z.} {exec DSZ port %p rz %a %w} {}
- PUMA {af3} {.p.} {exec PUMA P%p S%s r %d\ %w} {}
-
- That's all there is to it! If the special macro-id's are not found,
- then no automatic start will occur.
-
- Auto Receive is disabled while a macro is executing. The receive macros
- may be made available for CALLing from other macros by ending them with
- a RETUrn function:
-
- ZMODEM batch {af1} {.z.} {exec DSZ port %p rz %a %w} {return}
