Powerboard-UTI 1.00 (C) 1992 Scott Brown
The Powerboard Universal Text Interface consists of:
UTIHIGH.EXE
UTICFG.EXE
UTIIMPRT.EXE
UTIEXPRT.EXE
UTIVER.EXE
UTILIST.EXE
UTILSTRD.EXE
UTIDOOR.EXE
1. Buy PC-Relay software from Bonnie Anthony:301-229-5623. Then tell
her that you want to join the RIME network (unless you don't want to
and intend to join anohter PCRelay based network).
1. Setup PCRelay itself--config options such as Zipper name/path, etc,
Set to UTI Revision II. Do Not set the conferences.
2. Create confs in PB & load Powerboard (PBOARD.EXE) with /C switch.
3. Create PBCONFS.CFG -- get short names from Conflist.rly file (use
CONFIG.EXE (PCRELAY) to get these names).
The format for PBCONFS.CFG is:
Conference number as assigned by PCRelay
Conference Short Name as assigned by PCRelay
Conference Long Name as assigned by PCRelay
Your file might look something like this:
9
Comm
Communications(RIME)
30
Sci-Fi
Science Fiction (RIME)
In this setup, you have 2 conferences, the first one being
"Communications" and the second being "Science Fiction".
5. Add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET BBSPATH=c:\bbs
(If your BBS path is something other than c:\bbs then put that there.)
4. Associate Confs w/ UTICFG
5. Go into PCRelay and add conferences desired.
6. Get Q4RLY43.ZIP by Bob Browne--available on SOS BBS, 914-576-6139.
This should provide a script for QModem and a batch file. You will
then need to edit these files for your system setup. There are
instructions included with Q4RLY43.
7. SP.BAT and RP.BAT are included with Q4RLY43.ZIP. They are the
transfer protocol batch files. Run QINSTALL (Qmodem) and add
a protocol called P. Edit these files to work with your system.
These files run DSZ. You may need to look at the DSZ manual.
The usual info for SP.BAT:
dsz port <port> speed <speed> pB6144 sz <dir + filename>
<port> = com port
<speed> = baud rate
<dir+fln> = path to your send packet + [nodeId].Rly
The usual info for RP.BAT
dsz port <port> speed <speed> pB6144 rz <dir>+In.Rly
<dir> = path to your receive packet
8. Next is to setup the transfer batch file. This wil be run in your
daily event.
This should look something like this:
@echo off
cls
rem v---this is the path to pcrelay
cd\pcrelay
export.exe
rem v------this is the path to qmodem
cd\qmodem
qmodem/s=q4rly43
cd\pcrelay
import.exe
cls
lastxfer xfer.cfg
cls
rem v-----path to BBS
cd\bbs
pboard/as
In this batch file, we run a file called LASTXFER. That program
is included in this .Zip file. You may want to modify the
configuration file (xfer.cfg).
9. Notify the BBS that you wish to get your mail from that you wish
to connect to RIME and tell them you have approval from Bonnie
Anthony to do this.
10. Run EVCONFIG and add the batch name that you made to your
event list so that it will run every night.
If you need help, please feel free to call Mark Hennessy at The Particle
Board BBS: 914-834-6346. He has set up PCRelay and helped me write
this documentation file.
