4DTAG v.1.2.
Using 4DOS as a batch file tagger is very easy to implement. This
version is much improved over my previous version. This version now
has a menu for protocol selection, you can select from any directory
the files you want upload, and you can now edit the batch before you
select your protocol and begin the upload sequence. I think this will
satisfy the most power hungry power user.
I put my upfiles.lst on my A: drive where Telix resides. You must modify
this in the aliases for your particular situation on your system. You must
also have the protocols located somewhere in your path statement.
As before you must have the following aliases defined in your aliases
for this to work:
df=dir/b/c/f/oe <----- This gives D:\path\filename to the upfiles
listing.
These are the aliases that are called by BATCHUP.BTM:
batmpt=keystack 13 10 ^ MPT D- N+ W+ F+ s @a:upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
bathsl=FHSLINK -@c:\util\comutil\hslink.cfg @a:upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
batpuma=PUMA D- N+ W+ s @a:upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
batdsz=DSZ port 1 pW1 pB4096 ha on sz -b -m -rr @a:upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
batzed=cexyz /p1 /L38400 /b14400 /szap @upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
hyperbat=HyperP @hyperp.txt @a:upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
batymg=cexyz /p1 /L38400 /b14400 /syg @upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
batvfast=vfast -P1 -B14400 -L38400 -S@upfiles.lst ^ del upfiles.lst ^ exit
This is all that is required. Modify BATCHUP.TXT to suit your
particular needs and situation for your use. As I do not know your
system it is completely up to you to get this to work for you. I use
XEDIT to edit my upfiles.lst. Any good ASCII text editor will do.
Compile the BATCHUP.TXT file to BATCHUP.BTM using 4DOS v5.0's
BATCOMP.EXE utility. It runs great on my XT system.
YEANAY.COM is no longer needed. The source file for BATCHUP.BTM is included.
This version of BATCHUP.TXT will use the upload directory you specify in your
term program's configuration file. To determine if your term program passes
this variable, put TEST.BTM as an external protocol and it will echo all
parameters passed to it. IT MUST PASS THIS VARIABLE TO THE BTM FILE
IF THIS IS TO WORK. You will be given a "point and shoot" menu from which to
make your selections using the "+" key on the numeric keypad. When you hit
return you will be given a menu from which to do several things - select your
protocol, select another directory, edit the upfiles.lst, or quit to the term
program. When you select another directory, you will be prompted for the new
drive and directory. Enter it as "C:\directory" but no trailing backslash.
The batch file will insert the backslash and then give you a "point and shoot"
type menu. Tag the files as before and hit return. You will be taken back to the
menu again. Repeat if you wish or begin your uploading by selecting your
protocol of choice. Continue as before.
Good luck and happy modeming along the cyberspace highway.
