This time it's an utility we all missed a long │ time - upload resume. It really sux if you upload a 1,44 │ megs file and after 1,40 megs the carrier drops or │ whatever and you spent 13 minutes uploading FOR │ NOTHING. │ │ But now you can just continue with the upload like │ /X-users do it for years. A really great tool for │ PCBoard! │ │ I tested it for about one month on my bbs and i think │ there are no real bugs in it. I hope you don't discover │ some. ;) │ │ -Frank Q. │ └ ═══[ HOW TO SET UP PCB-RESUME V1.0 ]═══════════════════════════════════════════ STEP 1: INSTALL A NEW DOOR USING PCBSETUP ─┐ │ I believe PCB-RESUME isn't the first door you gonna go to │ install. On my harddisk all doors are in e:\pcb\doors │ (network drive) so just create a directory │ called e:\pbc\doors\RESUME and copy RESUME.EXE, RESUME.CFG, │ RESUME.DOC (this one) AND RESUME into it. │ │ 1) Create a new directory for PCB-RESUME. │ 2) Copy all PCB-RESUME files into it. │ │ Then start PCBSETUP.EXE and edit the DOORS file: │ │ ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ ║ Edit DOORS File ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ USER DOOR ║ │ ║ Filename Passwd Sec Login SYS SYS Shell Path to DOOR Files ║ │ ║ ══════════ ══════ ═══ ═════ ════ ════ ═════ ══════════════════════ ║ │ ║ 1) RESUME 20 N N N Y E:\PCB\DOORS\RESUME\ ║ │ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ Create a new line (ALT-I) and enter the values. If you didn't │ copy PCB-RESUME into c:\pcb\doors\resume then (of coz) enter │ the path where you placed it and not the path above ;) └ STEP 2: CHANGE THE PATHS IN THE RESUME.CFG ──────────────────────────────────── ─┐ │ Now leave the PCBSETUP and edit the RESUME.CFG file, │ it should look like this: │ │ ╔═[ RESUME.CFG ]══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ ║ e:\f\private ║ │ ║ e:\f\private\keep ║ │ ║ @X1A ║ │ ║ @X0B ║ │ ║ @X03 ║ │ ║ @X02 ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ ════[ Resume v1.0 Configuration File ]═════════════════════════════ ║ │ ║ line 1: Path of where the uploads take part (private Upload Dir) ║ │ ║ line 2: Path where the aborted uploads are ║ │ ║ line 3: Color of header-message ║ │ ║ line 4: Color of files ║ │ ║ line 5: Color of sizes ║ │ ║ line 6: Color of other messages ║ │ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ I guess you know where the uploads take part. Put this │ directory into line 1. Now create another directory where the │ ZIP files with CRC errors should moved into.

GSZ has got "Z" and HS/Link "H" as symbols for │ upload. │ │ So you can set up other protocols too, you only need to take a │ look at the PCBDSZ.LOG.... if the protocol (ZyRion etc) uses │ '/' to seperate the paths choose GSZ, else HSLINK. │ │ If an upload is aborted the first character in the PCBDSZ.LOG │ will be an "E"... And if PCBoard recognizes that it will delete the │ file. So the RESUME.EXE isn't just a doorway but also a │ converter for the PCBDSZ.LOG... it converts every "E" to "Z" or │ "H" and the upload is tested like any other completed upload. │ │ If a carrier is lost while uploading there will be a "L" │ instead of "E". I found out that just a few days ago... │ │ PCB-RESUME saves only ZIP files, all other shit ARJ/LHA/S-NESsux │ and amiga-lame is deleted by PCBoard if the upload has been │ aborted. │ │ The last thing you must do is modify your PCBTEST.BAT... └ STEP 5: EDIT YOUR PCBTEST.BAT ───────────────────────────────────────────────── ─┐ │ I'm sure you have differnt parts in it but you must perform a │ CRC-check on the ZIP! │ Take a look how I do it: │ │ ╔═[ PCBTEST.BAT ]═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ ║ [...] ║ │ ║ pkunzip -t %1 >NUL ║ │ ║ IF ERRORLEVEL 8 GOTO ZIP_ERROR ║ │ ║ IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO ZIP_ERROR ║ │ ║ IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO ZIP_ERROR ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ GOTO ENDE ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ rem *** PKZIP REPORTS ERROR ******************* ║ │ ║ :ZIP_ERROR ║ │ ║ ECHO ■ CRC ERROR! ║ │ ║ move %1 e:\f\private\keep /Q /O ║ │ ║ COPY e:\pcb\pcbtest.f01 %pcbdir%\pcbfail.txt ║ │ ║ GOTO tf_end ║ │ ║ [...] ║ │ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ Note: │ MOVE.EXE is a little shareware program, also included, should be │ in the DOS search path...

So you should create another protocol just for │ HS-Link-upload resume. Of cause you can tell your users │ that upload resume only works with z-modem but some of │ my users have got much trouble with normal z-modem/GSZ, │ so they use HS-Link and can now upload and download │ without problems. │ So I created another protocol and here is the batch (if │ you are interested in it): │ │ ╔═[ PCBRB.BAT ]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ ║ @echo off ║ │ ║ if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil ║ │ ║ if exist %DSZLOG% del %DSZLOG% ║ │ ║ HSLink -p%1 -e%5 -u%6 -A -HX -S1024 -CP2 -FT4 -NV -NG -NM -R -K -O ║ │ ║ e:\pcb\doors\resume\resume HSLINK e:\f\private ║ │ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ There's no dupecheck possible. But I think the users │ won't get killed by that. ;-) │ └ ═══[ OTHER ]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ (errors etc) ─┐ │ Check all paths carefully to avoid runtime-errors or │ other shit! │ │ On every error, first check the paths in all batches │ and in the RESUME.CFG. Be sure that they are a 100% │ right! │ │ If you don't use the MOVE (included in the package) make │ sure that your program overwrites existing files without │ asking to avoid problems with two time/same file-upload │ aborts. │ │ If you are not sure how to install a doorway properly │ refer to your pcboard manual! │ │ In case that all paths are for sure correct but │ PCB-RESUME still don't works check the free memory in │ shell. Maybe you should turn on "swap out during shell" in │ order to get more memory when executing PCB-RESUME. │ └ ═══[ GREETINGS (A MUST! hehe) ]════════════════════════════════════════════════ Frank Q.'s personal greetinx (alphabetical order): Automan, Bandieto, Bubba, Blackbird, Butcher, Byte, Chronus, Crackpipe, Cosmic, Crimson-Couriers, Decker, Delirious Nomad, Dr.Byte, Dr.Insanity, Drunken Rom, Dodger, Elrond/SOTL, Faith Healer, Fate, Fbi, Flashlight, GTW, Hollis, Iceman, Irakis, Joe Handsome, Killefitt, Luke Skyywalker, Loverman, Lybis/BCD, Mamma, Maverick, Merlin, Mikeysoft, Milo Mindbender, Morgaine, Mooncrow, Nuke, Oppi, Orion, PWA-Crew, Rambone, Rave, Ravish, Ripwave, Samson, Santa Claus, Selim, Sle, Tailgunner, The Brain, The Terrorist, Troops, Twilight (i hope i didn't forgot someone!) ═══[ CREDITS ]═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Coded by Frank Q. real killer-credits, eh? haha Ok, that's it, if you've got any problems with PCB-RESUME contact me or call Tippies Palace. l8r Frank ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PCB-RESUME V1.0 (c)1994 by Q-TiP PCBoard-Development <End Of File>
