USING PCPLUS/TEST DRIVE WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK
Installation:
Please refer to the PCPLUS manual for detailed information on
installation of external protocols. The following installation
steps should work for most folks:
Copy the provided HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT files, as well as
HSLINK.EXE into your PCPLUS directory, or into a directory included
in your search PATH.
If you're using a COM port other than COM1 you'll need to edit both
HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT to change the -P1 to -P2 or whatever port
you're using. Most folks won't need to put anything else on the
HSLINK command line, but there are a number of optional parameters
you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW.
Next you need to install the HS/LINK protocol into the PCPLUS
protocol menu.
Load up PCPLUSTD and press ALT-S to get into the SETUP menu. Then
cursor down to the PROTOCOL OPTIONS selection and press ENTER. In
this screen, you press C and then enter HS-U for the upload
command, and finally press D and enter HS-D for the download
command. Escape from this menu and choose WRITE OPTIONS TO DISK to
save your changes.
To download with HS/LINK, first 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, you press the PGDN
key and select the HS-D protocol from the menu. When asked for
"parameters" just press enter.
If you want to also upload to the
BBS while downloading, you simply press the PGUP key instead of
PGDN, select HS-U from the menu, and list the upload filenames you
want to have transmitted.
I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
responsibility for anydamages resulting from these instructions. If you
get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with PCPLUS
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!
