ZMODHOST: By Ed Richter, sysop U.S Computer PC Board in Garland,
Texas phone 214-276-9336.
This arc file contains the following files:
ZMODEM.BAT Menu system for DSZ from Omen Technology
CHOOSE.COM Set Errorlevel for branching in zmodem.bat
This was written by Joe Campbell and published
in MS DOS Power Users Guide Volume I, Second
Edition by Jonathan Kamin and published by
SYBEX.
CHOOSE.TXT Debug script file used to create Choose.com
ZMODHOST.DOC This file.
This program requires DSZ.COM from Omen Technology to add
additional external protocol capability to Procomm Plus.
To create Choose.com from chose.txt use Debug with this
command line:
DEBUG < CHOOSE.TXT
Install:
Put the following files on the same directory,
ZMODEM.BAT, CHOOSE.COM, DSZ.COM. Use the setup
command in Procomm+ and install ZMODEM in both
the upload and download directory. You will need
ANSI.SYS installed in your config.sys file to
display the graphics characters in the menu. If
you don't like ansi.sys remove the box around
the menu.
Operate:
Select ZMODEM from your up or download menu,
enter the filename(s) in the Procomm+ window,
and follow directions on the menu.
The ZMODEM.BAT file included is setup to receive file on
E:\ so no drive information is entered in the Procomm+
window. You will need to change all receive options to
your preferred directory. You may also eliminate the drive
selection from the command lines in the bat file and enter
it in the Procomm+ window.
The drive selection for uploading is done from the Procomm+
window. If you have a designated directory to upload from
you can add the drive selection to the command line in the
bat file.
The DSZ.DOC in the 07/11/88 release states that the "CON"
parameter must be used to run Procomm+ in Host Mode. This
program will accommadate that. The default setting is for
Procomm+ in Terminal mode. This can be changed by selecting
the "Y(es)" option on the main menu. If you are dialing
into Procomm+ Host Mode and wish to use DSZ protocols you
will need to use this option.
Choose.com will set the errorlevel based on input from the
keyboard. It assigns errorlevels to each letter on the
command line. The assignments are from right to left and
start with errorlevel = 0.
The command line CHOOSE ABCDEFGHIJ will result in the
key "J" causing an ERRORLEVEL = 0, "I" ERRORLEVEL 1, etc
"A" ERRORLEVEL 9. It accepts all 26 alpha characters in
either upper or lower case.
The program uses the SET= command to store the variable HOST
in your enviroment string. If you receive an "Out of Enviroment
Space" message you will need to eliminate 3 characters from
your current enviroment or expand it with the
SHELL=x:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:xxx
line in your config.sys file where x is the drive\path for
command.com and xxx is the number of bytes used for the
enviroment string. ZMODEM.BAT clears the HOST variable
before returning to Procomm+
I have tested each of options in Procomm+ mode. I have not
yet tried Procomm+ Host mode but since it simply requires
the addition of the CON parameter to the command line there
should be no problems. If you encounter any please pass the
fix along so we may all benefit. Enjoy and Thanks
