SCRIPT SETUP
────────────
Step 1: Designate PATH
-- this script requires the following files to all be in the same
directory -- .REP files from a QWK format reader, .UL files
from Megareader. Once you decide on which directory this will
be, search the script for "PATH:" and replace with the actual
directory. For example..if you'll be keeping everything in
C:\Mail...then replace "PATH:" with "C:\Mail\"
Step 2: Set the Flag Files
-- the script depends on two "flag" files for proper operation.
I've named one of them "rep.off"..this one is used to determine
whether or not you have replies to send to a .QWK format door.
The other is "bi.off"..this one is used to determine whether
you have files to transfer via bimodem.
-- you must create these files. Log on to your PATH directory
(from step one) and create the files by:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────
rem >rep.off │ Using the "rem" statement will create "0" byte
rem >bi.off │ files. Verify it with a "dir" after creating.
└───────────────────────────────────────────────
-- these files are critical to proper operation.
Step 3: Insert Your Name In the Script
-- search the script for FIRST, replace with your first name (the
one you use on the BBSs).
-- search the script for LAST, replace with your last name
Step 4: Insert Your WildCat! Verification Data
-- search the script for MMDDYY, replace with the birthdate you
use on WildCat! BBSs..hopefully, you've given them all the same
date..the script won't work, otherwise.
-- search the script for 703XXXXXXX, replace the XXXXXXX with the
phone number you gave WildCat! BBSs..again, the data must be
consistent across all WildCat! BBSs.
Step 5: Adjust Your ZModem Command Lines
-- search the script for "dsz"..the only change you may wish to
make is to delete the "-u" switch from the upload command
lines. The "-u" switch was added to the Dec 90 version of DSZ.
It deletes the .rep packets right after a successful upload.
It's a personal call on whether you want to do it this way...I
personally prefer it, you may not. Also, be sure dsz.com (or
exe) is in your main Dos path..otherwise, you'll need to add
the path info in front of dsz, i.e. {exec c:\comm\dsz port ...}
NOTE: You must use a registered version of DSZ. Shareware
versions don't support download paths. No harm done, but the
download will go to your default directory, rather than to some
other directory you may want.
Step 6: Adjust Your BiModem Command Line
-- search the script for "bimodem" (one occurrence). You'll see a
BIPTH. This represents the path to your bimodem.cfg file.
Replace with the actual path. Let's suppose your bimodem.cfg
file is in a directory called C:\Comm. Replace BIPTH:\ with
C:\Comm\. Also, be sure the directory where your main bimodem
executable is located is in your main path..otherwise, you'll
need to add the path in front of "bimodem", i.e
{exec c:\comm\bimodem /c ....}
Step 7: Save the Commo.mac file
-- proceed to Readme.2nd
