- Autodialer and Macro Set Conversion v1.1
- ---------- --- ----- --- ---------- -- -

-
- 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.
