- ADDING HS/LINK TO WWIV 4.20
- TESTED WITH WWIV 4.20 AND HS/LINK V1.00
-
- Please refer to the WWIV documentation for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. This information was tested
- with HS/Link version 1.00 and WWIV version 4.20.
-
- The following installation steps should work for most folks:
-
- Place a copy of HSLINK.EXE into your main C:\WWIV directory, or
- into some other directory listed in your dos PATH setting.
-
- Run INIT.EXE and select 7 (external protocols)
- Press I to insert a new protocol.
-
- The definition of the HS/Link should look like this:

-
- The bi-directional capability of WWIV is not currently implemented.
- You may want to explain to your users that bidirectional transfers
- should not be attempted with this version of WWIV.
-
- Note for systems running locked COM ports:
- We have found that if you use a locked DTE of 9600 or above, you
- will need to have a NS16550AN UART installed. Also, for rock solid
- performance you should add the -HS (Handshake Slow) switch to all
- of the above command lines.
-
- This should get you set up in under 10 minutes.
-
- You can edit the command lines to include options on the HSLINK
- command line, but most folks won't need to change anything. If
- your system can't keep up with the COM port while accessing the
- disk drive, you may want to add -HS to both lines. If you want to
- experiment, there are a number of optional parameters you can read
- about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for any damages resulting from these instructions.
- If you get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come
- with WWIV and with HS/Link. If all else fails, call up the Tool
- Shop and ask for help on the Support Conference. Either I will
- help you, or somebody else will know the answer and give you a
- hand.
-
- Good luck!
