OutComm 1.0
The purpose of OutComm is basically to send a message out the comport
so that the user can be notified of something. This program can be
used to inform users that a DOOR is in use and that it's not available
at the moment or it can be used to display some kind of information
in the $$LOGON.BAT file or some other miscellaneous areas.
OutComm does support the non-standard comports. It simply reads the
PCBOARD.DAT for the IRQ and BASE address to find out where it should
send the information.
If you are not running PCBoard 14.5 or above, please do not try to
use this program.
The usage of this program is very SIMPLE and easy to use. You need to
pass two command line switches to the program as follows:
OUTCOMM.EXE PathToPCBOARD.SYS FileName
PathToPCBOARD.SYS - This is simply the PATH to where the
PCBOARD.SYS is located.
FileName - This is the FileName that you want to be
displayed to the caller. The FileName can
have any of the PCBoard COLOR Codes in it.
@ Variables are not supported unless you have
the modified version of the program. Contact
me if you would like the modified version.
Example: OUTCOMM.EXE C:\PCB C:\PCB\GEN\EXPIRE
This example would simply display the file called EXPIRE
That's it as far as how to use the program. Enjoy and have fun!!
