==============================================================================
The AceComm package - including all related program files and documentation
files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed as a complete
package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all
files that are part of the AceComm package.
Chapter 1 Introduction
What is AceComm?
AceComm is a communications program especially designed for today's high speed
modems. AceComm provides a default setup that is ready to run with most Hayes
compatible modems. The AceComm package contains a modem install utility, that
will install most Hayes compatible modems into AceComm.
AceComm supports a macro driven keyboard which features complete key
redefinition. AceComm's macro language provides the user a powerful interface
to the AceComm internal functions, as well as many computer services.
AceComm's terminal area provides a key driven and or menu driven interface.
With AceComm's key-redef and macro language, complete control over any complex
task is just a key press away.
AceComm supports user definable menus. Menus that can be made to display and
offer user definable functions. Menus that are available as popup menus at any
time from the terminal area.
AceComm supports an internal point mail system which uses the EMSI handshake
protocol.
A time (event) scheduler supports the point mail system and any other automated
process the user wants to define. The scheduler is capable of beginning and
ending events as they come around on the clock.
An automatic script generating function can record complex on line sessions
to script files needing little to know editing.
Intelligent Auto Log On Technology (tm) is capable of automating log on.

Distribution DISK
The AceComm package is distributed in a compressed format. The compression
utility used with AceComm is the current version of LHA (this writing LHA213).
AceComm package and sub-packages are compressed as SelF eXtracting "SFX"
files. This means the compressed file "ARCHIVE" uses an .EXE file extension.
This SFX format allows you the user to simply type the name of an archive. The
archive's SFX code will execute, and extract the files to their un-compressed
form.
Electronic Distribution
Many BBS systems will store the distributed SFX file inside an archive envelope
of their default archive. The AceComm BBS provides the AceComm package in ARJ
and ZIP format. SFX files as described above are appropriately renamed and
contained inside the main package, as regular compressed files.
INSTALL.BAT
The easiest way to AceComm is to just run INSTALL.BAT. The batch file will run
ACTL.EXE. ACTL.EXE assembles ACE.CTL into ACE.PRM. ACE.CTL is an ascii
control file that can be edited with any text editor or created later with the
PRM2CTL.EXE utility (included). ACTL creates sub directories defined inside
ACE.CTL. Directories defined in the default setup are CAP, FON, FILES, KTS,
SCR, and MAIL. INSTALL.BAT copies FON files into FON, KTS files into KTS, DOC
files into a DOC sub directories. INSTALL.BAT then runs ACE.EXE All setup data
can be configured from inside AceComm. Install.bat will get you up and
running, you may need to set the com port to match that of your modem.
