Autodialer and Macro Set Conversion v1.1
---------- --- ----- --- ---------- -- -
CONV2FZT.PRG and CONV2FZT.DOC are Copyright (c)1991 Aaron Hopkins,
are freeware, and may be distributed at will.
Here's a little program I whipped up to convert your Flash, Interlink,
Stealth, DTerm, QTerm, and VanTerm Autodialer files and Flash, Interlink,
and VanTerm Macro sets. (The format for Stealth macro sets will probably be
altered in the future, as it currently is buggy and only saves the first 19
macros. For this reason, I left it out.) I will be adding more formats
eventually, but this is all I had time for at the moment. If you would like
to see it support another format, please send me a copy of your autodialer
or macro set so I can take a look at the format.
There are no guarantees with this program, as I don't know how well or
if it will work. It should grab the major info out of the dialer files,
such as BBS name and number, but not the settings. (Those were the only
things I could decipher by sector editing them.) Also, some characters in
macro sets may be converted to other characters (for instance, a comma in
VanTerm is converted to an At (@).) It does not convert these either, but
rather leaves these to you to convert. Also, if you have more than 45
entries in an autodialer of another program, only the first 45 can be used.
Anyway the instructions for use are pretty simple:
1. Make a backup copy of the files you want to convert. (There was a
report of it eating the Flash dialer file of someone. I could not find
why, but just in case, make a backup.)
2. Run CONV2FZT.PRG
3. Choose an appropriate format. Flash, Interlink, Stealth, DTerm,
QTerm, and VanTerm formats are supported.
4. Click on the appropriate file to translate. (Please make sure you
select the correct file for the format you chose. Clicking on a
corrupted file or one not in the proper format will probably cause bombs
to appear, as I did not include any error checking to conserve space.)
5. Enter the filename to be used with FzDSTerm. FZDSTERM.NUM and
FZDSTERM.MAC are loaded at startup.
Problems, comments, suggestions, etc can be sent in the same manner as bug
reports for the main program. See FZDSTERM.DOC for details.
