MD2 Password support for WinPack -------------------------------- MD2PASS.EXE provides a way of sending an MD2 password to a BBS from a WinPack script file. Installation ------------ 1. Put MD2PASS.EXE, MD2PASS.CFG and G4IDEMD2.DLL in the WINPACK\SCRIPTS\PROGRAMS directory. 2. Edit MD2PASS.CFG and put in it your MD2 password string and some text from the prompt the BBS sends when it asks you for the password. IT MUST be text from the line that actually contains the password challenge, my example should make it obvious what to do. 3. Edit the BBS.TXT script file, exactly what it needs to contain depends on your connection path to the BBS, but it wants to be something like this:- SEND C $BBS WAITCON RUN MD2PASS WAITPROMPT If you usually get a very fast connect to the BBS, you may not need the WAITCON. 4. Give it a try by using the F2 key in WinPack. You should see "RUNNING MD2PASS" appear in the Script status window, and, when the BBS sends the password challenge, it should send back the correct response to the BBS. If it doesn't send a response at all, check the prompt line in MD2PASS.CFG. If it sends the wrong response, then the password string you have put in MD2PASS.CFG is probably not the same as the one you have registered with the BBS. Roger Barker, G4IDE January 97
