-
- The file SCRIPTS.ARC contains:
-
- ALARM.CMD ALARM is pop-up window script that sets the alarm tune from one
- of several selections. It also demonstrates the steps to take
- to customize your own alarm.
- BREAKOUT.CMD BREAKOUT is a demonstration of the script language. It plays
- a simple 'breakout' style game. Paddle control is through the
- cursor keys or a mouse (if supported).
- CIS.CMD CIS is a simple script that dials the CIS service (you must
- set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
- connection. [See note below on autologon.]
- CONNECT.CMD CONNECT is a simple script that puts COM-AND into auto-answer
- mode and awaits a call. When a connection is made, the script
- adjusts the line speed appropriately.
- DIALER.CMD DIALER is a script performing multi-dialing. Up to 10 dialing
- directory numbers may be specified. The numbers are dialed
- one after another until a connection is made. The list of
- numbers (less the one just connected) is saved for next use.
- DIRECTOR.CMD DIRECTORy is another demonstration of the script language. It
- provides a paged display of files on a given drive:subdirectory
- with more information than Alt-F.
- DSZDOWN.CMD DSZDOWN is a script to use Chuck Forsberg's DSZ to download
- with YMODEM protocol.
- DSZUP.CMD DSZDOWN is a script to use Chuck Forsberg's DSZ to upload
- with YMODEM protocol.
- GENIE.CMD GENIE is a simple script that dials the GEnie service (you
- must set the dialing directory appropriately), and provides
- a masked password prompt. [See note below on autologon.]
- KERDOWN.CMD KERDOWN is a script to use Jan van der Eyjk's PCKERMIT to
- download files.
- KERMSERV.CMD KERMSERV is a script providing KERMIT server commands for
- systems (such as the SOURCE) where they're useful. It
- implements SEND/RECEIVE/FINISH and LOGOUT.
- KERUP.CMD KERUP is a script to use Jan van der Eyjk's PCKERMIT to
- upload files.
- LISTER.CMD LISTER is a script to listing an ASCII file to the screen with
- pagination. Paging (backward limit 20 pages), Home, End, and
- FIND <string> are supported.
- PLINK.CMD PLINK is a simple script that dials the PLINK service (you
- must set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
- connection. [See note below on autologon.]
- SETTIME.CMD SETTIME dials the U.S. Naval Observatory, and sets the DOS
- clock with the correct time. You must modify this script
- before use! Read comments at the beginning of the script.
- SOURCE.CMD SOURCE is a simple script that dials the SOURCE service (you
- must set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
- connection. [See note below on autologon.]
- TELENET.CMD TELENET is a simple script that dials TELENET and performs
- the basic connect commands.

-
- Note: The CIS, GEnie, PLINK, and SOURCE script files all look for an autologon
- script file. If found, the autologon is executed. If not found, the ALARM is
- sounded. Each script looks for a certain file:
-
- CIS.CMD looks for CISLOGON.CMD (or .ENF)
- GEnie.CMD looks for GENLOGON.CMD (or .ENF)
- PLINK.CMD looks for AHNLOGON.CMD (or .ENF)
- SOURCE.CMD looks for STC.CMD (or .ENF)
-
- With the exception of GENIE, the autologon file should take the form:
-
- TRANSMIT "yourID!" ; The "!" is a carriage rtn
- WAITFOR "password" ; Wait for host prompt
- TRANSMIT "yourPassword!" ; The "!" is a carriage rtn
-
- The GEnie autologon is just one TRANSMIT statement:
-
- TRANSMIT "ID,Password!"
-
- The autologon script may be created with any editor or wordprocessor capable
- of creating an ASCII file (or non-document file). It is not recommended that
- you leave files containing ID and passwords unsecured. COM-AND may be used
- to encrypt the autologon file once created and tested and the original file
- then deleted.
-
- COM-AND will search for script files both in the current directory and in the
- subdirectory pointed to by the COM-AND= environment variable. COM-AND will
- also try the name you use with the extension ".CMD" and ".ENF". Encryption
- is indicated within the encrypted file - not by the extension. When an
- encrypted script file is encountered COM-AND will pop-up a window asking for
- a decrypting password. The script file is then decrypted as it is executed.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The following steps might be followed to create an autologon script file.
-
- 1) Create the file as named above with the appropriate statements on the sub-
- directory you've placed COM-AND and its scripts.
-
- 2) Load COM-AND, and using F2, execute the outer script (CIS, GEnie, PLINK or
- SOURCE). Assure yourself that the autologon script works correctly.
-
- 3) After logging off, use Alt-N in COM-AND to encrypt the script. For
- example, the file CISLOGON.CMD could be encrypted to CISLOGON.ENF (the
- name is important - the extension is not). Remember the password you used
- to encrypt the file! Either encryption method may be used.
-
- 4) After exiting COM-AND (or shelling to DOS), delete the original autologon
- file (in the example above, delete be CISLOGON.CMD).
