- USING PCPLUS/TEST DRIVE WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Please refer to the PCPLUS manual for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. The following installation
- steps should work for most folks:
-
- Copy the provided HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT files, as well as
- HSLINK.EXE into your PCPLUS directory, or into a directory included
- in your search PATH.
-
- If you're using a COM port other than COM1 you'll need to edit both
- HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT to change the -P1 to -P2 or whatever port
- you're using. Most folks won't need to put anything else on the
- HSLINK command line, but there are a number of optional parameters
- you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW.
-
- Next you need to install the HS/LINK protocol into the PCPLUS
- protocol menu.
-
- Load up PCPLUSTD and press ALT-S to get into the SETUP menu. Then
- cursor down to the PROTOCOL OPTIONS selection and press ENTER. In
- this screen, you press C and then enter HS-U for the upload
- command, and finally press D and enter HS-D for the download
- command. Escape from this menu and choose WRITE OPTIONS TO DISK to
- save your changes.
-
- To download with HS/LINK, first you tell the BBS you're talking to
- what files you want to download, and that you want to download in
- the HS/LINK protocol. On the Tool Shop you can do this with the
- following command:
- D H filename filename S
- for example,
- D H TOOLSHOP.EXE S
-
- Once you've got the BBS into downloading mode, you press the PGDN
- key and select the HS-D protocol from the menu. When asked for
- "parameters" just press enter.
-
- If you want to also upload to the
- BBS while downloading, you simply press the PGUP key instead of
- PGDN, select HS-U from the menu, and list the upload filenames you
- want to have transmitted.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for anydamages resulting from these instructions. If you
- get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with PCPLUS
- and with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for
- help on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will
- know the answer and give you a hand.
-
- Good luck!
