USING COMMO WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK
Installation:
Please refer to the COMMO manual for detailed information on
installation of external protocols. The following installation
steps should work if you're familiar with editing the COMMO setup
and macro files.
Copy HSLINK.EXE into your COMMO directory, or into a directory
included in your search PATH.
Use a text editor to modify the file COMMO.SET. Add the following
line to enable HS/Link autodownloading:
{aut=hslink,^bR} Auto Receive, HS/Link
Use a text editor to modify the file COMMO.MAC. Add the following
line to the UPLOAD menu section:
║ HS/Link using HSLINK.EXE ║ {goto hsul}
Remember to include the text beyond column 80!. Now add this line
to the DOWNLOAD menu section:
║ HS/Link using HSLINK.EXE ║ {goto hslink}
Next, add this line to the table of download protocol macros:
HS/Link {:hsul} {call gfnu} {exec HSLINK -p%_por %file} {} HSLINK.EXE
Finally, add this line to the table of upload protocol macros:
HS/Link {:hslink} {exec HSLINK -p%_por -u%dldir} {} HSLINK.EXE
If you made all the changes correctly, you might have a working
installation of HS/Link in COMMO. Since these edits are a bit
tricky, I have included sample COMMO.SET and COMMO.MAC files for
you to examine and/or use, but remember the files might need other
changes for your specific system and modem configuration.
To download with HS/LINK, just you tell the BBS you're talking to
what files you want to download, and that you want to download in
the HS/LINK protocol. On the Tool Shop you can do this with the
following command:
D H filename filename S
for example,
D H TOOLSHOP.EXE S
Once you've got the BBS into downloading mode, COMMO will
automatically detect HS/Link and will call up the HSLINK.EXE
program to handle it.
If you want to upload to the BBS while downloading, have to be
quick to press PGUP before the autodownload sequence is detected.
Then cursor down to HS/Link in the menu and hit enter. Specify the
files to upload and press ENTER again.
I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take respons-
ibility for any damages resulting from these instructions. If you get
stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with COMMO and
with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for help
on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will know
the answer and give you a hand.
Good luck!
