- Version 1.2: Jan 15, 1990
-
- This program allows the user to save up to 20 frequently used
- phone numbers. The program will dial the phone number, at the
- request of the user. Each number has 7 fields associated with it.
- They are:
-
- Name: An ascii string describing the number.
- Phone: The actual phone number to be dialed
- Baud: The Baud Rate that VT100 should be set to when dialing this number
- Parity: The Parity that VT100 should be set to when dialing this number
- Prefix: A string that is sent to the modem BEFORE dialing the number
- Postfix: A string that is sent to the modem AFTER dialing the number,
- A carrige return is signified by "^M".
- Script: The name of an ARexx script to be called. This script is passed
- the above mentioned parameters. When a user's script is called,
- this script exit's. All dialing must be done by the user's script.
- This script launches the user's script via VT100's RX command.
- Therfore, the user's script must end in '.vt100'.
-
- The phone file defaults to S:VT100.phones. If it doesn't exist, dial
- will use default values for all fields.
-
- To install: Copy dial.vt100 to REXX:dial.vt100
- Makesure the following files are in LIBS:
- - arp.library
- - rexarplib.library
-
- To run: either directly execute from the VT100 "REXX MACRO" menu, or
- issue the "RX DIAL" script command.
-
-
- This program requires:
- VT100 Version 2.9 (Released October-89)
- ARexx
- arp.library (PD routines)
- rexarplib.library (PD routines, necessary for windowing)
-
- VT100, arp.library, and rexarplib.library are avaliable in many
- PD collections.
-
- ARexx is a licensed program, written by William S. Hawes
-
-
- Future enhancements?
- - Adjust number of entries in list acording to the size of
- the user's screen (more entries if using interlace).
-
- - Be able to read the dialing directories of other terminal
- programs.
-
- - Any other suggestions would be welcome.
