- PURPOSE:
- To add the capability of auto-starting MPt, DSZ, TXZM, CE-XYZ, SZMODEM,
- ZMODEM (International TeleComm's), GIFLINK, HS/Link and Hydracomm transfers
- to Telix 3.1x without having to configure the protocol yourself. You just
- tell AUTODL where your protocols are located, and it handles the rest!
- Supports automatic uploads prompting when using internal/external Zmodems,
- HS/Link and Hydracomm. Also allows for the marking of files to upload with
- a NEW built-in file manager. Also display the BBS name in the status area
- (REGISTERED VERSION).
-
- The Telix settings for upload/download zmodem crash recovery, port
- configuration, window and disk buffer sizes, locked baud rate and flow-
- control is honored for all the protocols supported by AUTODL. You configure
- the protocols using the "Configure Telix" (Alt-O) panel. Don't worry about
- what settings are needed, its AUTOmatic!

- SETUP:
- Copy the *.slc files in the AUTODL.ZIP file in the directory where
- you keep your other Telix scripts. Make sure the TELIX environment
- variable is set. See the Telix documentation for more information.
-
- Start Telix. Once Telix is running, press <ALT-G>. Type "ADLCFG" and press
- the enter key. Enter the directory where each protocol is kept. The Zmodem
- path requires a fully-qualified path (Drive:\Path\Filename.Ext). This allows
- you to select the zmodem protocol driver you desire. AUTODL automatically
- determines the correct zmodem settings from the supported list of
- zmodem protocols. If any of the fields are left blank, the protocol will be
- disabled. Once the fields have been filled in, choose <X> to save the
- configuration file. The file is stored in the directory pointed to by the
- TELIX environment variable.
-
- NOTE:
- There should be NO need to specify any parameters in the options field.
- AUTODL supports the required parameters for the most effective transfer
- possible.
-
- Use the arrow keys to adjust the foreground and background colors of the file
- manager. The border and background colors of the configuration panel change
- to indicate your color selection.
-
- Once the configuration is completed, press "Z" to exit. You may use the
-
- AUTODL.SLC script in the following ways:
-
- - From the terminal session. To do this you first log on to a remote
- system. Once you have done this, type <ALT-G> from the terminal screen.
- You will then be prompted for the script to execute. Type "AutoDL"
- (without the " 's) and press <Enter>. The script will execute until the
- carrrier is lost, at which time it will terminate with an alarm.
-
- - As a "Linked script". While editing the phone entry for your favorite
- system type "AutoDL" in the Linked script field and save the entry.
- The next time you log on this system the AutoDL script will auto-
- matically be executed. The script will execute until the carrrier is
- lost, at which time it will terminate with an alarm.
-
- - From within a logon script. Add this line:
- Call("AutoDL");
- as the last line to you logon script and recompile your logon script.
- the next time you logon the system your logon script will log you on and
- then execute the AutoDL script for you. The script will execute until
- the carrrier is lost, at which time it will terminate with an alarm.

- SETUP OF THE UPLOAD MANAGERS:
- While in Telix, press <ALT-O> to invoke the Telix configuration menu. From

- slot from the menu. Press <P><ENTER>. Type "MPT"<ENTER> for the "Protocol
- name". Type "MPTUL"<ENTER> for the "Upload Filename". Type "ADLSTART"
- <ENTER> for the "Download Filename". Press <S> for "BAT or Script". Press
- <N> for "DL Name". The upload manager for MPt is now installed. Repeat the
- process for the external zmodem upload manager "ZMDMUL" using "Ext ZmoDem"
- for the "Protocol name".

- Merely toggle option "I" in the ALDLCFG configuration panel. The files
- listed are the ones contained in the upload directory specified in the paths

- If you followed the above procedures the AUTODL script system is now
- installed. If you instruct a remote system you are going to do a Zmodem,
- HS/Link or HydraComm upload, you will be prompted to enter the files to send
- automatically.
-
- When you are ready to download and the remote host has Puma and you have MPt,
- go ahead and use Puma. AutoDL knows how to handle it. That's all there is
- to it. This script is sure to enhance your usage of both Telix, DSZ, TXZM,
- SZMODEM, CE-XYZ, ZMODEM, GIFLINK, MPt (Puma), HS/Link, Hydracom. By the way,
- be sure to register these fine products with their respective authors.

- NOTE:
- If you experience problems with your protocols being executed and your using
- Telix v3.2+, turn "Swap out of memory..." (ALT-O G P) OFF. I cannot use
- swapping myself.
-
- If you make ANY changes to you Telix configuration while AUTODL is in use,
- WRITE the changes to disk so AUTODL can pick them up.
