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.
