QUICK START - SETTING UP SLICK
There are several Mini Terminal Programs around but only one
Slick! Why use Slick?. FIRST, Slick is entirely self contained and
self starting for all Hayes Compatible Modems using AT commands.
This means there are NO configured files or other data files to
manage. SECOND, Slick is under 95K. This means you can run it
from a system with only ONE FLOPPY and limited RAM. (and I know
there are a lot of you guys out there). Slick is functional with
any IBM or Clone CPU running PC/MS-DOS 3.3 or better. Using a
standard 360k floppy with the operating system installed you are
still left with over 200k for download space! THIRD, SLICK is
the only affordable terminal on the market that really delivers
the power features that new operators want. And, It works right
out the box with no configure files to hassle with (other than
setting new defaults). PLUS, if wish to operate off a Hard Drive,
SLICK can be called via a DOS Path statement from ANY location in
your directories.
====================================================================
SLICK by DEFAULT:
Slick comes preset for COM1, IRQ4, N81, 1200 baud. If this port
setting is CORRECT for your PC, SLICK will initialize your modem by
sending an ATZ (clear modem defaults) and a generic modem string.
If you see ATZ followed by OK appear on your screen, probability
is your port address is valid for the default of COM1 (3F8) IRQ4.
If the modem string appears next followed by OK, you may still
need to ADD some special switches that are necessary for your
particular modem. On the other hand, if ERROR appears after SLICK
attempts to send the string, you must determine what switch in the
string is not compatible with your modem. This can be done by
reading your manual or sending each switch separately at the
terminal prompt looking for an OK reply if valid. Example: Let's
assume the string is "ATDTM1V4&D2S7=45" First, type ATDT, then
look for an OK. Next, type ATM1, ATV4 etc. etc. until you hit
the one or ones that reply with error. ANY one bad switch will
invalidate the entire string. A common question is "everything
seems to be working ok but the modem wont hang up the line after a
good connect, Why?" Some modems depend 100% on software control of
important functions like carrier and data state. Usually, &D1 added
to the string will allow the modem to hang up if it cannot be be set
by dip or pin switches on the modem itself.
After the opening screen you should see the following responses
from the modem indicating all is OK and ready to operate.
ATZ
OK
ATS0=1&C1&D2V1X4S2=128S7-45S11=70 (or similar, [may vary])
OK
Please Note you can change the Initial Command String that
comes pre- installed: (ATM1S12=0S11=70V1X4S2=128S0=2), to meet
your particular requirements. This String MUST however reside
in the Alt-0 macro as SLICK looks for it there on boot up. You
can also place a Hayse dial command in the Alt-0 macro and SLICK
will AUTOMATICALLY dial that number first on BOOTUP. This might
be nice for a BBS you call OFTEN.
Example: ATM1S12=0S11=70V1X4DT283-9785
^--------^
====================================================================
PROBLEMS:
If nothing at all appears on your screen, (after the LoGo
disappears and you hear the initialization beep) the fault is
likely that SLICK's default port setting (COM1) is incorrect for
your computer/modem setup. You will need to set another COM port.
The COM menu is selected by hitting Alt N (while still in regular
terminal mode) then selecting port 2, 3 or 4 depending on your
available ports. To test the new port selection, simply type ATZ
at the terminal prompt looking for both the letters to be echoed
on the screen along with an OK (or "0") reply from the modem. Once
you have the correct port selected you will want to save it into
the EXE module so it will remain the default next time you run
SLICK. This is done via the default menu brought up with the Alt Z
key combination. One inside the defaults menu, use Alt P to write
the new port into EXE module. On a 4.77 mhz floppy only system,
this may take 10-20 seconds. On hard drives with fast processors,
less than a second. You may also wish to change the baud rate,
parity, data & stopbit and or modem string by this same general
method. You may also set the UpLoad and DnLoad disk/directory
locations and the default editor for SLICK's dialing directory.
SLICK comes with SLICKED which is pre defined as the default
editor. Any other favorite text editor will work also. The Alt-Z
(Defaults) Menu is also used to change the hot key macros. (Hit F5
to see whats there now.)
====================================================================
SLICK HAS ZMODEM:
Slick is simple, very powerful, and easy to use! Plus it has
everything you basically need to enjoy Telecommunication. Slick
Version 4.8 and up NO LONGER requires the exclusive^ use of Omen's
DSZ engine to enable (Z)modem protocol. SLICK features internal
Zmodem protocol with Auto Sensing. (You need only instruct the
host to begin the Zmodem transfer, SLICK does the rest!). A new
Monitor Mode has been added (V5.4) via Ctrl Home to allow display of
all raw characters without filtering. This is a very useful
diagnostic and advanced function for investigating raw data
appearing at the port. Additionally, a new Literal insert mode has
been added to the macro keys to facilitate use of control codes,
graphic characters and ANSI. In response to numerous request,
PARITY/DATA/STOPBIT selection can now be saved (V5.1up) as a permanent
runtime default along with port and baud rate. Several new baud
rates (4800,9600,19200) have been added to the menu along with
numerous cosmetic changes and embellishments including a few fixes
to a number of minor but annoying soft bugs. SLICK is a Interrupt
driven (on receive only) terminal that supports the four standard
DOS BIOS addresses of 3F8, 2F8, 3E8 and 2E8 respectively for COM1
thru 4. If you are using OS/2 or any other system that addresses
COM3 thru 8 at 3220h thru 5228, a special version of SLICK/OS2 is
available for those circumstances. Please call our office. (SLICK
pairs IRQ4 w/COM1&3 and IRQ3 w/COM2&4 in the standard version).
^Today, 99% of all BBS's are providing Zmodem file transfers
because of the superior performance it has over X and Ymodem.
Because many of our users are running laptops, we elected to
continue providing X and Ymodem via the external DSZ protocol
engine, thus keeping the size of SLICK's executable file to a
minimum. Therefore, for those of you who like SLICK and still must
have X and Ymodem, you must register with Omen to get an unlocked
(ability to pass parameter) version of DSZ. Zmodem has become the
de facto standard on almost all Bulletin Boards. But, if X and
Ymodem are still needed, SLICK can still pass parameters to
Omen's DSZ engine (for those protocols) if DSZ is in the DOS path.
For PROPER operation of DSZ or any external utilities, it is
necessary to have a DOS PATH to where you have located SLICK AND
these utilities. Example: Suppose you have SLICK and SLICKED in a
directory off the root of your "C" drive called MODEM [i.e.
C:\MODEM]. You must then add MODEM to your PATH statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file as SET PATH=C:\MODEM etc etc. To confirm after
re-booting, that your path is properly set, type SET at the DOS
prompt. If you are operating off a floppy drive, make sure you
have a system disk with COMMAND.COM on the floppy along with
SLICK.EXE.
====================================================================
REDISPLAY BUFFER:
SLICK has some very nice utilities for making life easy. The Alt-T
(redisplay screen buffer) is an example. This feature keeps the last
eight pages of text in memory for immediate redisplay. With the use
of Pg Up/Dn up/dn arrow, home and end, navigating is a snap. This is
particularly useful when you forgot the spelling of that interesting
file you want to download - just hit Alt T to go back in time! You
also can take a snapshot of the screen (Alt G) or save the present
content of the buffer to the standard log capture file. (Alt L)
====================================================================
SPECIAL MACROS:
The F10 macro can be programmed to run your favorite utility by
just a key stroke. F8 loads and runs SLICKED, the default dial
directory editor. (Remember, you and reset this to run your own
favorite editor).
====================================================================
DOORWAY & MONITOR MODE:
When using the DoorWay (Alt=) or Monitor mode (CtrlHome), no other
hot keys are active! You may exit either mode by hitting the same
hot key again to regain use of SLICK hot keys. While in DoorWay
mode, any extended keys that are struck will result in SLICK
sending a NUL preceding the keys actual scancode to facilitate
correct interpretation of Function and Extended keys on host end.
====================================================================
HOST MODE:
SLICK V5.4 now provides as a perk to its registered users an entirely
new HOST Mode. This feature (like a mini BBS) is very useful and much
easier than most to learn to operate. First, here are the available
functions. NOTE: For testing purposes, you can activate SLICK's Host
Mode (without a connect) via local mode toggle Alt F1. This will
disable the carrier detection that would normally cause the Host
Mode to disengage. You could also send the macro in Alt 9 but Host
Mode would assume a connect, and, not finding a carrier, dis engage
after a few attempts at loading.
****** SLICK Host Menu ******
(1) Download a File.
(2) Drop to Operating System.
(3) Page the SYSOP!
(4) Read Host Messages.
(5) Send Host Messages.
(6) Shut down Host Mode.
(7) Exit/Hang up!
(1) This function allows you to download a file. It prompts you
for a filename and, if found, promptly transmits it to you
via Zmodem. Practically all automatic!
(2) This function gives you the DOS prompt as if you were sitting
in front of your host system. DOORWAY its NOT, but at least
you can copy, move and delete files. You can also use DOS's
TYPE command to read any ascii text files on your system. You
may even run some applications that do not require user input.
Its primary job is to copy a file to SLICK's default upload
directory for transmission (if what you want is not there
already). To return to the Host Menu, you only need type
EXIT at the DOS prompt. This feature requires a special
batch file, called DROPDOS.BAT (supplied) that takes advantage
of DOS's ability to redirect the CON output to the serial
port during the drop. Its covered in more detail down below.
(3) Should it be necessary to get the attention of the System
Operator, selection 3 will cause the host to beep once every
second for twenty seconds. The SYSOP (host end) need only hit
any key to trigger the chat operation otherwise it will time
out and return the user (remote) back to the main menu. As with
the Enter Mail function, a forward slash </> will exit chat
(can be initiated by either end) when used as the FIRST entry
on a new line.
(4) This is a convient way to get messages or general bulletin info
to anyone with access to the host system. It will display 23 lines
of text and then wait for a user key stroke to display the next
23. The first time this selection is called, if the bulletin file,
SLICK.BUL is not found, it will be created with a short header
indicating there are no bulletins as of yet. SLICK.BUL, like
all text files generated by SLICK terminal, may be edited with
any standard ascii editor, including SLICKED.EXE (provided).
(5) This option allows a user to post a message on the system. The
message will be appended to the end of the existing bulletin file
(SLICK.BUL). It is a bare bones posting system with no means of
discriminating who has access to what mail. Line length is limited
to 73 characters. A new line is started by hitting the <Cr> or
Enter key. A message is saved or ended by hitting the forward
slant key </> (usually below the question <?> mark key.
(6) This is equivalent to using Alt-X at the terminal. It terminates
SLICK, taking it off line, and returning control back to the
operating system.
(7) This forces Host Mode to drop the line (hang up) and await the
next caller.
Before you can access the Host Mode via a remote terminal, the
following things must be accomplished. First, the modem auto answer
command, S0 must be installed in Macro Alt-0 with the desired ring
number, i.e. the number of rings to wait before connecting. EXAMP:
ATS0=3----------------ETC. This will cause the modem to answer (in
this example) after the third ring. Next, you must set your Host
access key in macro Alt-9. It MUST begin with at least one or more
asterisks (*) followed by no more than five characters. EXAMP:
*!$@ This Host Key does several important jobs. It provides a
method to activate the Host mode remotely, and, since the user must
know it in advance, a certain amount of security. Ideally, you
would transmit the Host key (after the CONNECT message) on your
remote SLICK terminal by using the same Alt-9 Macro. This will
trigger the Host Mode into action (at the HOST site) and you will
soon be asked for your name. The name is only required for logging
purposes and is not critical. (User names are logged to a file
created and called SLICK.USR). You could spell your name
differently each time, as no checks are made against it. Next the
Host will ask for a password. This is VERY critical. Case MUST be
observed and can be mixed. The very first time you use Host Mode,
SLICK will create a file called SLICK.PWD and install the first
generic password HOSTSYSOP which you must type (in CAPITOLS) to gain
access. Its up to you to create additional passwords and install
them via any ascii editor such as SLICKED provided with this
package. If the password was invalid compared to those contained in
SLICK.PWD, the Host informs the login and disconnects. Otherwise,
you are welcomed to the main menu. It's just that EASY.
DROPDOS.BAT Batch file must reside in same directory as SLICK
@ECHO OFF Line 1 (not required, just eliminates scrn echo at host)
CTTY COM1: Line 2 (change to reflect the port [COM?] you are using)
C:\COMMAND.COM Line 3 (path to DOS file **VERY IMPORTANT**
CTTY CON Line 4 (undoes line 2 returning screen/kybd to CONsole)
NOTE: Most versions of DOS that I have encountered fail to install
the port default addresses of 3E8 and 2E8 in BIOS at Seg 0040
Off 0004 and 0006. Ordinarily this would prevent DROPDOS.BAT
from working on COM3 or COM4 (i.e. CTTY COM3: or CTTY COM4:)
even if SLICK (or any terminal using direct hardware
addressing) works ok. I overcome this limitation by allowing
SLICK to poke the required addresses into BIOS memory if they
are not present. This is necessary because the CTTY
redirection command looks there for where to go with re
directed output. SLICK eh?
====================================================================
TIME STAMP:
A feature has been added that will record all your CONNECT time
including place and number called. This feature is toggled by the
Alt K key combination while in terminal mode. It writes to a standard
ASCII text file called SLICK.TYM. There are two line written for each
connect. The first line tells who you called, the phone number used,
and the date and time the connect was made. The second line contains
the elapsed time of the call on the line above it. EXAMP BELOW:
CONNECT: Telenet Data, Ph# ATDT*70,524-4094 on 7/30/92 at 11:02p
ON LINE time for call was: 0hr,12min, 25sec
This feature requires that you to use the built in dialing
directory to pick and initiate a call and will not work by manual
number entries while in terminal mode.
This feature is toggled on and off by use of Alt-K while in normal
terminal mode. The first time it is used, the file SLICK.TYM will
be created in SLICK's home directory.
