Tmodem Command Line Switches Each switch must be preceeded by either a forward slash '/' or a dash '-'. R Receive File. U Place incoming files in this directory F Send these files K Keep aborted transfers N Node Number caller is on. P Com Port to use. B Connect Baud Rate X Trun log OFF @ Name of text file containing names of files to send. A Calibrate Serial Port. C Cancel Error/Suggestion Screens. /R Receive Files When Tmodem encounters this switch, it will go directly to Receive files mode. Therefore, the /R switch MUST be the very last switch you use. Inbound files will be placed in the current sub-directory. You may override this with the U switch. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 3 /U Place inbound files in this directory The default is to place inbound files in the current directory. /U may be used to point files to another drive and/or directory. Tmodem verifies that this is a valid directory so the directory must be listed in the file allocation tables. Drive designators or ROOT directories may not be used with the /U switch. e.g. /UC: or /UC:\ are not valid since they do not have directory entries and may not be validated. The /U path must NOT end with a backslash. e.g. d:\uploads\ is NOT valid. It should be d:\uploads Sample of a GOOD /U setting: /UC:\TELIX\UPLOADS /F Send These Files When Tmodem encounters the /F, it will immediately go into send mode and begin sending the files following the /F switch. Therefore, the /F must be the last Tmodem parmeter you use. You MUST place one space between the filename and the /F switch and there must also be one space between the filenames themselves, if more than one. A full Drive/Path is accepted and any wildcard characters will be expanded to match any files in that directory. The only limit placed on the /F is the one placed on it by DOS. You only have 128 characters you can use for a command line and only 9 DOS batch file parameters (%1 ... %9). Note to WildCat! Sysops.... some later versions of WildCat! further complicate things by not correctly passing the names of the files to send, if you tell WildCat! the protocol is a BATCH protocol. Basically, it only sends the NAMES of the files, but does NOT send the location of the files. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 4 e.g. TMOD610.EXE would be the only thing WildCat! sends. TMOD610.EXE may be on Drive Q, F, G,... in any sub-directory on any one of those drives. It more or less says "Hey.... find this file... it's on the computer SOMEPLACE and send it". Mustang Software was contacted about this, but flat denied that WildCat! did it. Don't know why they bothered to lie about it... it's easy to verify and was verfied by a dozen WildCat! sysops....using simple DOS BATCH files to print the command line WildCat! was passing to their printers. We can fix it for you, just download the WildCat! archive on our BBS. It's a hell of a way to fix it and I'd rather switch to a different BBS than have to put up with all of WildCat!'s problems, but if you paid for it... I guess you're stuck with it. /K Keep Aborted Transfers Keep aborted transfers due to carrier lose or excessive errors. Keeping the file allows you to RESTART the transfer on your next call. The default is to NOT keep aborted transfers and /K should never be used if you are using Tmodem as an external protocol with YOUR BBS. /N Node Number This can only useed if you're running an Osiris SE Multi-Line BBS. N must be followed by the node number the caller is on. e.g. /N1 /N2 /N3 ... /N255 Tmodem will display the callers name, city, and state at the bottom of the screen. /P Com Port This is the COM port you're going to be using. e.g. /P1 /P2 /P3 ... /P8 Only P1 though P4 is valid for NON-Osiris SE systems. If you're running Tmodem with Osiris SE, you may use /P5 though /P8 Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 5 /B Connect Baud Rate This is the CONNECT (Notice the capital letters) baud rate that your currently at. Valid baud rate settings are: 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600. Tmodem REQUIRES that you tell it the TRUE CONNECT RATE. Most of the time this is the same as your SERIAL baud rate. e.g. /B1200 /B2400 /B9600 NOTE: If you're using a 3/12/2400 modem then you can skip the rest of this section. The only time that it would NOT be the same is if you have a highspeed modem with a FIXED serial rate of 9600, 19200, or 38400. In which case, the CONNECT rate will not always be the SERIAL rate. That doesn't change anything, you still must pass the TRUE connect rate and not the SERIAL rate. If your terminal program isn't capably of passing the CONNECT rate (Telix for instants can not pass the CONNECT rate) then you must HARDCODE 0 in as the /B parameter. e.g. /B0 Tmodem will then PROMPT you for the CONNECT rate. If you're setting up Tmodem as an external BBS protocol and your BBS can't pass the TRUE CONNECT rate (WildCat! can't), then you'll have to setup THREE external protocol definitions; One for 1200, one for 2400, and one for Highspeeds. I'm sorry, but there simply is not anything that WE can do about that. Tmodem is a "SMART" protocol that configures each tranfer according to the computer's speed, modem hardware, connect rate, line noise, etc. for each, current, transfer and only the BBS or Terminal program can supply the CONNECT rate. It can't be READ from any other location. The next thing you'll need to do, if your running a LOCKED serial port, is to setup an environment variable called COMx=BaudRate, replacing x with the serial port number and BaudRate with the LOCKED baud rate. e.g. COM1=19200 Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 6 Do NOT add blank spaces, comma's, and make sure you use Upper Case. Tmodem can support up to 115,000 baud using the combined COMx and /B switch. /X Turn off Log Tmodem writes a log, in the current directory or in the Osiris SE root directory if Osiris SE is present. The log contains the status of each transfer. If you do not want the log, /X will turn it off. /C Cancel error/suggestion screens Anytime a Transfer could not be started, for any reason...you side or the other side, Tmodem will attempt to explain why and offer suggestions. Once you have your system setup correctly, you may want to turn this off to avoid delays. /@ Name of text file containing names of files to send. e.g. /@D:\OSIRIS\SEND2.CTL This is the name of a TEXT file that contains the names of the files to send. Full drive and path information is allowed and wildcard characters will be expanded to fit any file in that directory. As soon as Tmodem encounters this switch, it will begin sending. Therefore it MUST be the last switch you use on the command line. This is the preferred method of passing file names to Tmodem if you're using it as an external BBS protocol. This allows MORE file names than you may be able to fit on the DOS command line. There is no limit, practical limit, to the number of files that you can list. Each line in the file must contain only ONE filename and must end with a DOS CR/LF sequence. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 7 e.g. C:\DRIVERS\MPT110.ZIP C:\DRIVERS\TMOD610.ARJ C:\DRIVERS\ZMOD*.* You may NOT intermix the /F and the /@ Some versions of Pcboard will attempt to intermix the two formats. In other words, sometimes Pcboard will simply pass the filenames, sometimes it will pass @LISTNAME and it includes @ as part of the filename making it impossible for you to configure a BATCH file that will work. e.g. if you attempted to do a /F %3 %4 %5 with Pcboard, you may get a send then again Pcboard may decide to place @D:\PCBOARD\SEND.CTL in %3. In which case, Tmodem will SEND that file instead of using it as a SEND Ctrl file because it followed the /F which indicating that it was a file to SEND and not USE. We have a supplemental program available called PCboard.lzh (zip or arj) that will intercept PCboard's command line and construct the correct TYPE of command line for Tmodem. It is available for downloading on our CBIS system to any Pcboard sysop that wants it. Using it very easy and requires very little in the way of additional installation procedures. /A Calibrate Serial Port On some systems, the uarts are slightly off by 1 - 3 pbs. In other words, when you open the serial port to 19200 baud, it actual opens to 19202 baud. Normally this wouldn't poss any type of problem, but since Tmodem customizes the send and the hardware is part of the equation, it does. /A tells Tmodem that this MAY be a problem and to calibrate the serial port before doing the system analysis. If you have everything else setup properly and still can't do a transfer, try adding this switch. It doesn't HURT or slow down anything so you may add it even if you don't really need it. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 8 Required Switches Each Tmodem installation will require TWO switches, doesn't matter what type of BBS/Terminal program you're going to be using or whither or not it is a SEND or RECEIVE batch file. /Bxxxxx and /Px Replacing xxxxx in the /B (CONNECT BAUD RATE) with the correct CONNECT rate or 0 and replacing the x in /P with the correct COM port. e.g. /B9600 /P2 (Connect Rate 9600, COM 2) e.g. /B2400 /P1 (Connect Rate 2400, COM 1) The POSITION of the switches aren't important with ONE exception, the /B or the /P can _NOT_ be the LAST switch on the the command line. Your Receive Batch File Your Receive Batch file will require only one additional switch, /R It MUST be the very last switch on the command line. The MINIMUM command line for receiving would be: Tmodem /B2400 /P1 /R The 2400 (Connect Rate) and the 1 (Com Port Nubmer) may be supplied by DOS batch variables. e.g. Tmodem /B%1 /P%2 /R Or they may be supplied by any other means at your disposal. Other optional switches (/U for instants) may be included BEFORE the /R switch. Make sure there is at LEAST one space between switches. Send Batch File Your SEND batch file only requires one additional switch: /F or /@ Either switch MUST be the last switch on the command line. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 9 The MINUMUM command line for sending a file: /B2400 /P2 /F FILENAME#1 FILENAME#2 FILENAME#3 or /B2400 /P2 /@CTRL_NAME The 2400 (Connect Rate), the 2 (Com Port Nubmer), FILENAME#1, FILENAME#2, FILENAME#3, etc. may be supplied by DOS batch variables. e.g. Tmodem /B%1 /P%2 /F %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Or they may be supplied by any other means at your disposal. Errorlevels Tmodem exits with 2 errorlevels, 0 if files were transferred or received and 1 if no files or transfers where sent. Debug Messages Tmodem will display a number of ERROR messages when missing important or required command line switches. i.e. Missing or Illegal Baud Rate. The messages are quite plain and need no further explanations. Reference The Section(s) of this document that deal with that particular command line setting. BBS/Terminal Programs Tmodem uses very basic command line switches that should allow it to run with almost ANY type of BBS system or Terminal program. We can not nor do we make make any claims that it WILL work with EVERY Single BBS or Terminal program out. Please limit technical questions to Tmodem itself. Our Technical Support staff will not be able to answer questions concerning 3rd party software, i.e. Pcboard, Qmodem, Wildcat, regarding HOW those programs go about supporting external protocols. We've included ALL the information KNOWN by US in this documentation. If you have problems interfacing Tmodem with 3rd party, you should contact Micro TECH Systems, Inc. to verify that the TMODEM command line switches are accurate then contact the distributors of the software your attempting to interface Tmodem with to verify THEIR methods of passing information to external protocols. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 10 Installation Setup and Debugging Tips The single largest problem with installing Tmodem has been incorrect /B parameters. We can't stress this strong enough, you MUST pass the connect baud rate and NOT the LOCKED baud rate. There are simply TO many different BBS programs *we're currently aware of 104 different BBS programs in use*, versions of the SAME BBS program, and not to mention Terminal programs to provide any 100 percent solution to HOW to install Tmodem on all of them. Installing Tmodem on A BBS Make sure you read the Tmodem.doc file at least twice and write down all the command line switches, even if you don't think you'll need them all. This helps a LOT and lowers the chances that you may overlook that one little switch that will make Tmodem work with your software. e.g. Certain versions of Pcboard requires newly uploaded files to be placed in a specific directory, many BBS programs require that. But, Pcboard does not change INTO that directory before calling the external protocol driver. A Pcboard sysop not KNOWING this, may spend hours, days, or never be able to get an external protocol driver not SPECIFICALLY written for Pcboard to work. Several PCboard sysops, figuring this out, have spent hours working on batch files to switch in and out of that directory for uploads. All they REALLY needed to do with use the /U switch and Tmodem would have done it all for them. They just assumed that Tmodem couldn't do it...they didn't read the Tmodem.doc is what happened. They just 'scanned' it, like many do. Never attempt to install TMODEM as an external protocol in you terminal software AND on your BBS at the same time. You WILL need to have Tmodem already installed and debugged at ALL baud rates (if you have a 9600+ modem) in your terminal package before attempting to install and debug it on your BBS. Find a BBS that you KNOW has Tmodem installed, correctly, and test your terminal setup at 2400 and at 9600 (if you have a 9600 baud modem) by transferring files to and from the BBS. Make sure you have it tested on SEND and RECEIVE. This way, when you do install it on your own BBS you'll know for SURE which side has the incorrect setup. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 11 If you don't KNOW a BBS that has it setup correctly, try ours at 1-314-334-6359. This may seem silly, but it isn't and can save you many hours of debugging work. Installing Tmodem on a Terminal Package The best thing is to READ your terminal programs documentation on HOW to install external programs and exactly HOW and WHAT your terminal program passes in respects to command line arguments. Each terminal program does this a little differently. Some VERSIONS of the same terminal program do it differently. Keeping in mind that Tmodem REQUIRES 3 switches ; These two are ALWAYS used in BOTH batch files. /Bxxxx with xxxx being the CONNECT baud rate /Px with x being the COM Port your 3rd REQUIRED switch (and remembering it must be the LAST one on the command line) will vary. Your Receive batch file will use /R Your SEND batch file will use /F <Filename> <Filename> is the NAME of the file to Send. Your receive batch file can also have, recommended by not required, a /K to keep aborted transfers and to RESUME the transfer at a later date. You'll be using DOS BATCH parameters the % sign and either a 1, 2, 3, .... and 9 to pass the information from your terminal program to Tmodem. e.g. Tmodem /K /B%1 /P%2 /R e.g. Tmodem /B%1 /P%2 /F %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 The number following the percent sign can and will vary depending on your terminal software and even the version of your terminal software. That's why we can't TELL you what to use for a specific program, so please don't ask us. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 12 There is an EASY method you can use to FIGURE all that out. Place the following line in both the SEND and RECEIVE batch files. Echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 pause Tmodem <your normal command line> The line beginning with the 'Echo' will show you exactly WHAT your terminal program is passing and in which % variable. You can then adjust your Tmodem command line so that the REQUIRED arguments are supplied by the correct percent variable. The BIGGEST single problem is passing the CONNECT baud rate to Tmodem when a 9600 baud modem is used. Some Terminal programs (telix for instants) aren't written to handle smart protocols and will pass the SERIAL baud rate instead of the connect baud rate. This isn't acceptable and you'll never get a transfer started if this happens. It's easy to debug this problem using the above Debugging example. If the %x variable your using to pass the baud rate contains 9600, 19200, or 38400 when you call a 2400 baud system, then your terminal program wasn't written to handle smart protocols. NOTE: Some terminal programs (Qmodem for instants) offer your TWO % variables for baud rate, one is the CONNECT rate and one is the SERIAL rate. Check your Terminal documentations. The answer to the problem is : Hard code 0 in as the /B parameter and let Tmodem prompt you for the connect rate. e.g. Tmodem /B0 /P%2 /R Another common problem associated with high speed modems is not letting Tmodem KNOW you have a locked serial port. Be sure you set the COMx=LOCKRATE in your environment. You can do that by including one of the following in your autoexec.bat file. Select one that reflects your serial port and lock rate. SET COM1=9600 SET COM2=9600 SET COM3=9600 SET COM4=9600 Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 13 SET COM1=19200 SET COM2=19200 SET COM3=19200 SET COM4=19200 SET COM1=38400 SET COM2=38400 SET COM3=38400 SET COM4=38400 You will need to REBOOT your computer for the set command to take effect. The next thing you should do is test your setup on a BBS that you KNOW has tmodem setup correctly. It would be very frustrating to spending hours attempting to debug your installation only to find out, if you ever do that is, that the problem was on the BBS side ALL THE TIME. If you don't know of a BBS that your dead sure has TMODEM installed correctly, try our BBS at 1-314-334-6359. Terminal Interface Examples Telix Installing Tmodem as an External Protocol under Telix can be easy. If you have a 300, 1200, or 2400 baud modem you'll need two batch files, one to send and one to receive. Tsend is for Sending file(s) and Trcv.bat is setup to RECEIVE files. Trcv.bat calls Tmodem : Tmodem -K -UC:\UPLOADS -B%1 -P%2 -R Notice the -UC:\UPLOADS This is an optional switch that directs all up files received to a holding directory called C:\UPLOADS If you have a different, and you most likely will, directory you have new files you download go to then change that to suit your system. Tmodem ver 6.10 Page 14 If you want the new downloads placed in the current directory,then leave the -U C:\UPLOADS off all together. i.e. Tmodem -K -B%1 -P%2 -R Trcv.bat calls Tmodem : Tmodem -B%1 -P%2 -F %3 Locked Serial Ports and Telix First thing you do is set up a COMx=LOCK_RATE in your environment. Assuming Com 2 is used and the lock rate is 19,200 baud. SET COM2=19200 This statement should be placed in your autoexec.bat file and will be used by ALL of OUR protocol drivers and a number of other drivers. Those using Telix with a Fixed DTE rate (Locked serial port) have a problem. Telix always passes the SERIAL rate in the %1 variable. As outlined earlier, that's fine for most protocols like zmodem, puma, etc. but not for a Smart protocol. The method you'll need to use is simply, but does require that you pay attention to the CONNECT message telix gives you. In other words, when you call a 2400 baud system, the connect message will be connect 2400. You'll need to know that when you use Tmodem. You'll need to take your two batch files, Tsend and Trcv.bat and make a couple of small modifications. Trcv.bat calls Tmodem : Tmodem -K -UC:\UPLOADS -B0 -P%2 -R Notice that the %1 following the -B has been replaced with a 0 (zero). This tells Tmodem that the program that is CALLING it isn't capable of passing the TRUE connect rate. Tmodem will pop open a small window in the middle of the screen displaying 4 connect rate options. You select the one that is correct for the current connects. You'll need to make the same modifications to the Tsend.bat file.
