- AutoDownload Telix Script for CRS ver 1.01 d/ 09 JUL 91
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Description:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This SALT Script file continuously redials CRS until a connection
- is established. It then opens the file "FILES.DL" (which should contain a
- list of files to be downloaded), logs into the IBM conference, and Batch
- Downloads the files listed using ZModem. After the download session (or if
- disconnected), the script automatically hangs up and exits Telix to DOS.
-
- Setup and customization:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Set the string "user_name" to the name you use to login, ie. :
- str user_name[] = "JOHN DORF"; .
- Set the string "number_list" in the script to the numbers of the
- CRS entries in your dialling directory. For example, if your dialling
- directory is : 1. CRS1 629-7000
- 2. CRS2 629-7044
- set the number_list string to : "str number_list[] = "1 2"; .
- Compile the script by typing "CS CRSADL" - this should generate
- CRSADL.SLC.
- Edit these entries in your dialling directory (if necessary) to
- include your password, and set the default download protocol to ZModem.
- With your favorite editor, create a file called FILES.DL, and
- enter a list of files to be downloaded. This must be a straight ASCII
- text file (ie. Word* or Wordperverse files won't work), with * one *
- filename per line. Each filename must end with a cr/lf, and the file must
- have a "^Z" or EOF terminator (ie. 1Ah) in order to work. The Xtree Pro
- editor works, and so does "copy con FILES.DL". Check the file with DEBUG
- or a hex dump utility if you're not sure.
- The file FILES.DL should be in the same (sub)directory as
- TELIX.EXE, and the compiled SALT Script should be in the SALT
- subdirectory specified in the TELIX "Configure Telix/ Filenames and Paths"
- menu.
-
- Invocation:
- At the DOS prompt, type "TELIX /SCRSADL", sit back, and watch.
-
- Caveats and cautions:
- This SALT Script file runs under Telix 3.11, but has not been
- tested on any others. It has also not been tested on any other BBS's than
- CRS, or any other conferences than the IBM one. There may even be better
- autodownload scripts available on CRS - if you find one, or can improve
- this one, post it on the board.
- This is also my first attempt at SALT programming, ('nuff said).
-
- Ideas ...:
- 1. Try running this from a batch file ....
- 2. Figure out a way to TURN OFF the computer when TELIX
- finishes the download ....
-
- Kudos and thanks to "JOHN DORF" and Matthew Silver, who will recognize
- their code, and (of course) Colin Sampaleanu & co.
