PCPLUS-Z DOCUMENTATION
The External protocol driver for PROCOMM+ (tm DATASTORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.)
is great but it is does not allow for preset variables. I was using POE and DSZ
(tm OMEN TECHNOLOGY INC.) before and was disappointed in the inability to pre-
set variables for up and downloading.
This ARChived file contains two batch files that will drive DSZ so that you
can easily use it within PCPLUS.
INSTALLATION
1. DSZ.COM, ZMODEMUL.BAT and ZMDODEMDL.BAT must be placed within a pathed
sub-directory on your hard drive. I keep them in my utilities directory so as
to avoid additional clutter in my PCPLUS directory.
2. EDIT THE BATCH FILES! The lines preceded by a ":" are remark lines
that may be deleted when you are through.
3. Load PCPLUS. Use the ALT-S combination and choose Protocols from the
menus. Edit the external protocol names to ZMODEMUL for external upload proto-
col #1 and ZMODEMDL for external download protocol #1. Save your changes.
REMARKS
This quick and dirty set of files took very little time and are freeware.
It works with Procomm Plus Test Drive, which is a crippleware version of
Procomm+. DSZ is shareware, and Procomm+ is commercial software. It is sad
to see that Datastorm has gone commercial, but it is clear that they are moving
away from the shareware concept that made Procomm 2.42 and its predecessors such
great products. PAY FOR THE SHAREWARE YOU USE! I paid the modest fees for DSZ
and Procomm 2.42 and have gotten great support. If we don't reach into our
pockets, the shareware concept with wither and die.
