There is my setup for using QMAIL DELUXE and Word Perfect 4.2
with DSZ in DESQView.
The DSZ scripts and DVP assumes that your copy of DSZ is
registered, is in \PRGMS\DSZ, and uses port 1 at 2400bps. It
also assumes that DESQView is in \OPER\DV2 and PC Mag's PRN2FILE
is in \OPER\MISC. Edit these defaults as needed, then convert
the .TXT file to a .DVS file. The Screen capture facility cannot
be toggled while in DSZ, Chuck Forseburg disallows <Control
PrtSc>. I have talked to him about this to no avail.
WARNING!: you cannot switch out of DSZ during a file transfer if
have a mouse configured. THis bug is known by Quaterdeck, but I have
not seen a fix for it yet.
The DS script is supplied as a .TXT file so you can combine
it with any DS macros you currently have. It should not need any
changes. The Delay of 1 used through-out may have to be
increased on slow machines (you will know if you keep marking the
wrong stuff).
NOTE TO DV 2.2 users without a mouse! These scripts WILL NOT WORK
unless you turn on the keyboard mouse in the DS window.
The QMAIL DELUXE batch file assumes a RAM Disk.
This is necessary for the PUSHKEY API to work with QMAIL.
The DVP for QMAIL does not allow background execution because
QMAIL writes directly to the screen; the DESQEDIT.BAT takes
advantage of this.
I use this system in the following manner: I open DSZ first
then DOS SERVICES second. I down load my mail, switch to the DS
window and start the <Alt-Q> script with the highlight on the QWK
file. This starts QMAIL and WP. From QMAIL if I decide to reply
to a message, the DESQEDIT.BAT file takes me to the :Switch
Windows" menu. I press the number for WP and the script
continues with the <Alt-Q> script of WP. The <Cntl-Q> script
takes me back to QMAIL also through "Switch Windows". The QMAIL
and WP windows can be used by themselves to edit a mail packet
without DSZ and DS. The scripts ASSUME that QMAIL is window 3 and
WP is window 4! Also the <Alt-T> script is needed for entering a
message; without it the procedure doesn't work (Sparky does not supply
a dummy MSG file like he did in QMAIL).
I have also added a {Alt-N} script in DOS Services that
extracts the NEWFILES.DAT from the highlighted QWK file and
appends it (without the header and footer) to \QMAIL\NEWFILES.FIL
I hope that some of you find this useful. I have learned a
few things about DESQView scripts along the way. I particularly
like the Remove Dir macro that sort of fell out along the way.
