Express Z-Modem Uploading Version 1.20
Well I FINALLY got around to writing up this program, and when I finally
got the program written I waited like 2 weeks to write this SYSOP Doc...
Sorry about that but I got pooped out with this program. Oh well this
is how to set up Z-Modem Upload ok....
Files Included in this ARCHIVE
------------------------------
ZMDMUP12.COM ; Load this file to run Z-Modem Upload
ZMODEM1.COM
ZMODEM2.COM
ZSYSOP12.DOC (Reading Now)
Z_UPLOAD.DAT
This First thing that you have to do is fix up your Z_UPLOAD.DAT file.
Zmodem Upload looks for this file on your ROOT DIRECTORY!!
Your Root Directory is where you run BBS.PRG from...
Ok the first set of lines are your upload/download directories...
like this.
Atari ST Games
I:\STGAMES\
See that is one entry...
you put all of your entries like that one right after the other, remember
no more than 32 entries ok. Oh and the name of the UP/DOWN sig, can't be
more than like 32 characters long ok. After you have all of your entries
typed in SKIP A LINE and then you need to write 3 more lines of data.
they are as follows
Directory and folder of where the zmodem files that came with this ARC are.
Where your root directory is
And Folder of where you new_uploads are to go
An Example of a Z_upload.dat might look like this...
ATARI ST GAME
I:\STGAMES\
ATARI 8-BIT GAMES
I:\8GAMES\
ATARI ST UTILITES
I:\STUTIL\
ATARI 8-BIT UTILITIES
I:\8UTIL\
;NOTICE THE SKIPPED LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C:\ZUPLOAD\ ------------- ;THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT ALL THE .COM FILES
\ ------------- ;NOTICE NO DRIVE IS SPECIFIED!!! IF YOUR
\NEW_UPS\ ---\ BBS IS RUN FROM A FOLDER LIKE \BBS\ THEN
\ YOURS WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS '\BBS\' OK
\------- ;THIS IS WHERE ALL THE Z-MODEM UPLOADED
FILE WILL GO.... IT ABSOLUTELY **MUST**
BE ON THE ROOT DIRECTORY. (I KNOW THAT
KINDA SUCKS BUT I AM WORKING ON A WAY
AROUND THAT) AGAIN NOTICE THAT NO DRIVE
------------------------------ IS SPECIFIED....
THE PART IN HERE IN V1.1 DOC **IF YOU BBS IS RUN FROM A FOLDER LIKE
WAS WAY WRONG!!! THIS IS THE \BBS\ THEN FOR THIS LINE YOU NEED
RIGHT WAY TO DO IT OK!!!!!!! TO PUT \BBS\NEW_UPS\ OK!!!!!
------------------------------ ....DON'T FORGET TO....
THE CREATE FOLDER THOUGH!!! **ALSO WITHIN
THE FOLDER YOU NEED TO CREATE ANOTHER
CALLED 'DESC' FOR THE DESCRIPTIONS TO BE
SAVE AS OK!! IF YOU DON'T DO THIS THE
PROGRAM WILL GIVE YOU AN ERROR!!!!
Look at the Z_UPLOAD.DAT that is included with this ARC to see how my is!
After you modify a Z_UPLOAD.DAT for your own BBS place it in the ROOT
Directory ok...
And then make a script or menu file or whatever you want to run the file
ZMDMUP12.COM ok... and everything should run fine ok...
Now for the bad part....
What this program does is let people upload into the folder specified in
the Z_UPLOAD.DAT file. After they do that it the file is kept there until
you "THE SYSOP" move it. Fortunately I have written in a SYSOP MODE into
Z-Modem Upload. If you have 32 access then when you go into Z-Modem upload
it will give you a menu that lets you go into z-modem upload, return to BBS
or look for newly uploaded files. If you go into LOOK FOR NEW UPLOADS then
it will display all the new uploads and who uploaded then and the file
area that it was uploaded to.... If you want to then validate the file all
you have to do is do the [C]opy File into Proper SIG command and it will
copy it in there fine, if any problems occur it will tell you what happened
etc.. and you should be able to figure it out ok. If you don't want to
validate the file you can delete it or skip it and you can validate it or
whatever at a later time ok. If all this is confusing I KNOW!!! JEEZE just
think about it, I had to write it (YUCK!!) Anyway you will easily get the
hang of it after you do it a few times ok. They are a couple of other
drawbacks with using this program... When you copy in the file to the
proper directory it doesn't say who uploaded it(OH NO!!!) BUT it also
doesn't give people an UPLOAD CREDIT, you will have to do that manually..
All this sounds TERRIBLE HUH??? Well I promise it is VERY EASY, just set it
up and see...
If you have problems call MATT HEATON at 801-375-5470(VOICE)
or you can call my BBS 3/12/24 baud 24 hours a day 801-375-0819
This program is SHAREWARE OK!!!!!! I have worked hard on this for about
1 1/2 months to make it all just right....
Future Versions of this will be for REGISTERED OWNERS ONLY!!!!!
This version is free, so if you just want this you can take it and run...
but be aware future version WILL be written and will be much better..
To become registered to Z-Modem UPLOAD just send $5(Thats all) to
SECRET SERVICE Inc.
444 East 2200 North
Provo, Utah
84640
When you become registered I will SEND you on disk my newest versions ok..
or you can just download them off of my BBS if you are registered!!
I know these DOCS Suck but oh well... I am working on BETTER ONES...
Also COMING SOON!!! Z-MODEM BATCH DOWNLOAD(Almost COMPLETED!!!)
Also just so no one gets mad at me, I did not write the Z-MODEM CODE!!!
I just modified it (it was written in 'C') and then wrote some stuff to
make it work with BBS Express ok.. So I AM NOT responsible for anything
that happens in regard to the use of this program ok...
Oh also FMAIL Express is ALMOST DONE TOO, with X and Y modem support for
that one...
Have a good one, and I hope you can get this set up on your BBS SOON!!!
Look for LOTS of other great stuff for BBS Express

Version 1.1 UPDATED DOC FILE!!!!
Ok so NOBODY could set up my Z-Modem Upload... JEEZE I tried to explain it
as best as I could. Well here are some of the bugs reported back to me
that I fixed. First that missing label at line 269 is OUTA THERE... That
is TOTALLY fixed now ok. Some people reported getting an error "Can't open
file at line #82" that happens if Z-Modem Upload can't find your
Z_UPLOAD.DAT file in the root directory(That is where BBS.PRG is run from).
Make sure you put Z_UPLOAD.DAT in the rigth place ok!!!!! One guy also
reported a NESTED GOSUB at LINE 443??? Hmm.. I don't see the problem there
but I am checking on it right now... so by the time you read these docs
version 1.1 should have that bug fixed... I KNOW it is hard to set up for
some people but I made it as easy as I could. Z-Modem Batch Download is a
million times easier to set up.... That should be done here in about 2
weeks... I think that covers version 1.1...
Version 1.1 2 hours later!!
That gosub error at line 443 was if you had an ODD number of SIGS, that is
fixed in this version. This version fixes a million more bugs that were
ALL through Z-Modem Upload Version 1.0
This version should TOTALLY work perfect now ok....
Some people were wondering WHY they should pay $5 for a registered copy.
That is a fair question, so here are some of the things being implemented
later on. SIG access levels will be in the next version, the program will
ask you if you would like to use zmodem with 1K blocks always if you have
a good connection of use broken down blocks if you have line noise. And
HOPEFULLY I can figure out a way to give people upload credits... but that
is harder than you think... Oh well there will be TONS more versions with
lots more fixes and other items... oh well!!!
Talk to ya l8r.... Matt M. Heaton
Call me voice 801-375-5470 or BBS 3/12/24 24 hours a day 801-375-0819
P.S. This program in Z-Modem Upload NOT ZMODEM BATCH UPLOAD OK!!!!!!!!!
P.S.S. Some people were wondering if someone just left the zmodem sitting
there when someone was going to upload... YES it will wait for about 30
seconds and then return to the BBS ok, it will return if hung up on in the
middle of a download also ok. Also all the stuff you see on the screen
after it asks "Enter name of file to upload" is only for the sysop. The
user doesn't see any of that ok...
FINALLY GOODBYE and good luck setting it up!!!
The SECRET SERVICE
