SLICK MSG ASCII Host Message Board file ==================================================================== QUICK START - SETTING UP SLICK There are several Mini Terminal Programs around but only one Slick! Why use Slick?. FIRST, Slick is entirely self contained and self starting for all Hayes Compatible Modems using AT commands. This means there are NO configured files or other data files to manage. SECOND, Slick is under 95K. This means you can run it from a system with only ONE FLOPPY and limited RAM. (and I know there are a lot of you guys out there). Slick is functional with any IBM or Clone CPU running PC/MS-DOS 3.3 or better. Using a standard 360k floppy with the operating system installed you are still left with over 200k for download space! THIRD, SLICK is the only affordable terminal on the market that really delivers the power features that new operators want. And, It works right out the box with no configure files to hassle with (other than setting new defaults). PLUS, if wish to operate off a Hard Drive, SLICK can be called via a DOS Path statement from ANY location in your directories. ==================================================================== SLICK by DEFAULT: Slick comes preset for COM1, IRQ4, N81, 1200 baud. If this port setting is CORRECT for your PC, SLICK will initialize your modem by sending an ATZ (clear modem defaults) and a generic modem string. If you see ATZ followed by OK appear on your screen, probability is your port address is valid for the default of COM1 (3F8) IRQ4. If the modem string appears next followed by OK, you may still need to ADD some special switches that are necessary for your particular modem. On the other hand, if ERROR appears after SLICK attempts to send the string, you must determine what switch in the string is not compatible with your modem. This can be done by reading your manual or sending each switch separately at the terminal prompt looking for an OK reply if valid. Example: Let's assume the string is "ATDTM1V4&D2S7=45" First, type ATDT, then look for an OK. Next, type ATM1, ATV4 etc. etc. until you hit the one or ones that reply with error. ANY one bad switch will invalidate the entire string. A common question is "everything seems to be working ok but the modem wont hang up the line after a good connect, Why?" Some modems depend 100% on software control of important functions like carrier and data state. Usually, &D1 added to the string will allow the modem to hang up if it cannot be be set by dip or pin switches on the modem itself. After the opening screen you should see the following responses from the modem indicating all is OK and ready to operate. ATZ OK ATM1S0=3&D2V1S7=45 (or similar, [may vary]) OK Explanation: AT (Modem attention command, must preceed any new string) M1 (Speaker ON until CONNECT - some like to hear modem dial) S0=3 (Auto Answer phone line on 3rd ring - S0=0 disables auto ans.) &D2 (enable Data state ready - allows SOME modems to hang up properly) V1 (echo back VOICE replys to your AT commands like "OK") S7=45 (wait 45 seconds for a carrier after answer then hangup) Please Note you can change the Initial Command String that comes pre- installed: (ATM1&D2S0=3V1S7=45), to meet your particular modem particular requirements. This String MUST however reside in the Alt-0 macro as SLICK looks for it there on boot up. You can also place a Hayse dial command in the Alt-0 macro and SLICK will AUTOMATICALLY dial that number first on BOOTUP. This might be nice for a BBS you call OFTEN. Example: ATM1S12=0S11=70V1X4DT283-9785 ^--------^ ==================================================================== PROBLEMS: If nothing at all appears on your screen, (after the LoGo disappears and you hear the initialization beep) the fault is likely that SLICK's default port setting (COM1) is incorrect for your computer/modem setup. You will need to set another COM port. The COM menu is selected by hitting Alt N (while still in regular terminal mode) then selecting port 2, 3 or 4 depending on your available ports. To test the new port selection, simply type ATZ at the terminal prompt looking for both the letters to be echoed on the screen along with an OK (or "0") reply from the modem. Once you have the correct port selected you will want to save it into the EXE module so it will remain the default next time you run SLICK. This is done via the default menu brought up with the Alt Z key combination. One inside the defaults menu, use Alt P to write the new port into EXE module. On a 4.77 mhz floppy only system, this may take 10-20 seconds. On hard drives with fast processors, less than a second. You may also wish to change the baud rate, parity, data & stopbit and or modem string by this same general method. You may also set the UpLoad and DnLoad disk/directory locations and the default editor for SLICK's dialing directory. SLICK comes with SLICKED which is pre defined as the default editor. Any other favorite text editor will work also. The Alt-Z (Defaults) Menu is also used to change the hot key macros. (Hit F5 to see whats there now.) ==================================================================== SLICK HAS ZMODEM: Slick is simple, very powerful, and easy to use! Plus it has everything you basically need to enjoy Telecommunication. Slick Version 4.8 and up NO LONGER requires the exclusive^ use of Omen's DSZ engine to enable (Z)modem protocol. SLICK features internal Zmodem protocol with Auto Sensing. (You need only instruct the host to begin the Zmodem transfer, SLICK does the rest!). A new Monitor Mode has been added (V5.+) via Ctrl Home to allow display of all raw characters without filtering. This is a very useful diagnostic and advanced function for investigating raw data appearing at the port. Additionally, a new Literal insert mode has been added to the macro keys to facilitate use of control codes, graphic characters and ANSI. In response to numerous request, PARITY/DATA/STOPBIT selection can now be saved (V5.1up) as a permanent runtime default along with port and baud rate. Several new baud rates (4800,9600,19200) have been added to the menu along with numerous cosmetic changes and embellishments including a few fixes to a number of minor but annoying soft bugs. SLICK is a Interrupt driven (on receive only) terminal that supports the four standard DOS BIOS addresses of 3F8, 2F8, 3E8 and 2E8 respectively for COM1 thru 4. If you are using OS/2 or any other system that addresses COM3 thru 8 at 3220h thru 5228, a special version of SLICK/OS2 is available for those circumstances. Please call our office. (SLICK pairs IRQ4 w/COM1&3 and IRQ3 w/COM2&4 in the standard version). ^Today, 99% of all BBS's are providing Zmodem file transfers because of the superior performance it has over X and Ymodem. Because many of our users are running laptops, we elected to continue providing X and Ymodem via the external DSZ protocol engine, thus keeping the size of SLICK's executable file to a minimum. Therefore, for those of you who like SLICK and still must have X and Ymodem, you must register with Omen to get an unlocked (ability to pass parameter) version of DSZ. Zmodem has become the de facto standard on almost all Bulletin Boards. But, if X and Ymodem are still needed, SLICK can still pass parameters to Omen's DSZ engine (for those protocols) if DSZ is in the DOS path. For PROPER operation of DSZ or any external utilities, it is necessary to have a DOS PATH to where you have located SLICK AND these utilities. Example: Suppose you have SLICK and SLICKED in a directory off the root of your "C" drive called MODEM [i.e. C:\MODEM]. You must then add MODEM to your PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as SET PATH=C:\MODEM etc etc. To confirm after re-booting, that your path is properly set, type SET at the DOS prompt. If you are operating off a floppy drive, make sure you have a system disk with COMMAND.COM on the floppy along with SLICK.EXE. ==================================================================== REDISPLAY BUFFER: SLICK has some very nice utilities for making life easy. The Alt-T (redisplay screen buffer) is an example. This feature keeps the last eight pages of text in memory for immediate redisplay. With the use of Pg Up/Dn up/dn arrow, home and end, navigating is a snap. This is particularly useful when you forgot the spelling of that interesting file you want to download - just hit Alt T to go back in time! You also can take a snapshot of the screen (Alt G) or save the present content of the buffer to the standard log capture file. (Alt L) ==================================================================== SPECIAL MACROS: The F10 macro can be programmed to run your favorite utility by just a key stroke. F8 loads and runs SLICKED, the default dial directory editor. (Remember, you and reset this to run your own favorite editor). ==================================================================== DOORWAY & MONITOR MODE: When using the DoorWay (Alt=) or Monitor mode (CtrlHome), no other hot keys are active! You may exit either mode by hitting the same hot key again to regain use of SLICK hot keys. While in DoorWay mode, any extended keys that are struck will result in SLICK sending a NUL preceding the keys actual scancode to facilitate correct interpretation of Function and Extended keys on host end. ==================================================================== HOST MODE: SLICK V5.+ now provides as a perk to its registered users an entirely new HOST Mode. This feature (like a mini BBS) is very useful and much easier than most to learn to operate. First, here are the available functions. NOTE: For testing purposes, you can activate SLICK's Host Mode (without a connect) via LOCAL mode toggle Alt F1. Local logon of Host Mode is functional in the shareware version in order for you to get the look and feel of it. However, it will not function ON LINE until you register your copy. Using Local LogOn will disable the carrier detection that would normally cause the Host Mode to disengage. You could also send the macro in Alt 9 but Host Mode would assume a connect, and, not finding a carrier, disengage after a few attempts at loading. ****** SLICK Host Menu ****** (1) Download a File. (2) Drop to Operating System. (3) Page the SYSOP! (4) Read Host Messages. (5) Send Host Messages. (6) Shut down Host Mode. (7) Exit/Hang up! (1) This function allows you to download a file. It prompts you for a filename and, if found, promptly transmits it to you via Zmodem. Practically all automatic! (2) This function gives you the DOS prompt as if you were sitting in front of your host system. DOORWAY its NOT, but at least you can copy, move and delete files. You can also use DOS's TYPE command to read any ascii text files on your system. You may even run some applications that do not require user input. This feature is helpful if you occasionally need to copy files to SLICK's default upload directory before transmission (if what you want is not there already - while you are logged into the Host system). To return to the Host Menu, you only need type EXIT at the DOS prompt. This feature requires a special batch file, called DROPDOS.BAT (supplied) that takes advantage of DOS's ability to redirect the CON output to the serial port during the drop. DROPDOS.BAT is covered in more detail further down below. This release now limits DROP DOS access to the SysOp. SysOp access is granted to whatever password occupies the FIRST line of SLICK.PWD (HOSTSYSOP by default ... better change it!) (3) Should it be necessary to get the attention of the System Operator, selection 3 will cause the host to beep once every second for twenty seconds. The SYSOP (host end) need only hit any key to trigger the chat operation otherwise it will time out and return the user (remote) back to the main menu. As with the Enter Mail function, a forward slash </> will exit chat (can be initiated by either end) when used as the FIRST entry on a new line. (4) This is a convient way to get messages or general bulletin info to anyone with access to the host system. It will display 23 lines of text and then wait for a user key stroke to display the next 23. The first time this selection is called, if the bulletin file, SLICK.BUL is not found, it will be created with a short header indicating there are no bulletins as of yet. SLICK.BUL, like all text files generated by SLICK terminal, may be edited with any standard ascii editor, including SLICKED.EXE (provided). (5) This option allows a user to post a message on the system. The message will be appended to the end of the existing bulletin file (SLICK.BUL). It is a bare bones posting system with no means of discriminating who has access to what mail. Line length is limited to 73 characters. A new line is started by hitting the <Cr> or Enter key. A message is saved or ended by hitting the forward slant key </> (usually below the question <?> mark key. (6) This is equivalent to using Alt-X at the terminal. It terminates SLICK, taking it off line, and returning control back to the operating system. This release now limits DISABLE ability to the SysOp. SysOp access is granted to whatever password occupies the FIRST line of SLICK.PWD (HOSTSYSOP by default ... better change it!) (7) This forces Host Mode to drop the line (hang up) and await the next caller. Before you can access the Host Mode via a remote terminal, the following things must be accomplished. First, the modem auto answer command, S0 must be installed in Macro Alt-0 with the desired ring number, i.e. the number of rings to wait before connecting. EXAMP: ATS0=3----------------ETC. This will cause the modem to answer (in this example) after the third ring. Next, you must set your Host access key in macro Alt-9. It MUST begin with at least one or more asterisks (*) followed by no more than five characters. EXAMP: *!$@&# This Host Key does several important jobs. It provides a method to activate the Host mode remotely, and, since the user must know it in advance, a certain amount of security. Ideally, you would transmit the Host key (after the CONNECT message) on your remote SLICK terminal by using the same Alt-9 Macro. This will trigger the Host Mode into action (at the HOST site) and you will soon be asked for your name. The name is only required for logging purposes and is not critical. (User names are logged to a file created and called SLICK.USR). You could spell your name differently each time, as no checks are made against it. Next the Host will ask for a password. This is VERY critical. Case MUST be observed and can be mixed. The very first time you use Host Mode, SLICK will create a file called SLICK.PWD and install the first generic password HOSTSYSOP which you must type (in CAPITOLS) to gain access. Its up to you to create additional passwords and install them via any ascii editor such as SLICKED provided with this package. If the password was invalid compared to those contained in SLICK.PWD, the Host informs the login and disconnects. Otherwise, you are welcomed to the main menu. It's just that EASY. DROPDOS.BAT Batch file must reside in same directory as SLICK @ECHO OFF Line 1 (not required, just eliminates scrn echo at host) CTTY COM1: Line 2 (change to reflect the port [COM?] you are using) C:\COMMAND.COM Line 3 (path to DOS file **VERY IMPORTANT** CTTY CON Line 4 (undoes line 2 returning screen/kybd to CONsole) NOTE: Most versions of DOS that I have encountered fail to install the port default addresses of 3E8 and 2E8 in BIOS at Seg 0040 Off 0004 and 0006. Ordinarily this would prevent DROPDOS.BAT from working on COM3 or COM4 (i.e. CTTY COM3: or CTTY COM4:) even if SLICK (or any terminal using direct hardware addressing) works ok. I overcome this limitation by allowing SLICK to poke the required addresses into BIOS memory if they are not present. This is necessary because the CTTY redirection command looks there for where to go with re directed output. SLICK eh? ==================================================================== TIME STAMP: A feature has been added that will record all your total CONNECT time including place and number called. This feature is toggled by the Alt K key combination while in terminal mode. It writes to a standard ASCII text file called SLICK.TYM. EXAMP ENTRY BELOW: > N. O. Telenet 1200b > *70,524-4094 on 8/12/92 at 3:03p > 00:00:27 > (who you called) > (number you called on day at time) > (total) This feature requires that you to use the built in dialing directory to pick and initiate a call and will not work by manual number entries while in terminal mode. This feature is toggled on and off by use of Alt-K while in normal terminal mode. The first time it is used, the file SLICK.TYM will be created in SLICK's home directory. You can set either mode [file OPEN or CLOSED] as a default via the Defaults [Alt-Z] Menu with Alt-T. SLICK is shipped with TimeSet in file CLOSED mode. ==================================================================== ANSI BBS MUSIC: Slick Terminal will now interpret music strings similar to those used via the Basic PLAY function. The string must be preceeded by an Esc[M directive and terminated by an ascii #14 character (double note). This seems to be the defacto ANSI BBS standard emerging out of the rubble. However, ANSI has actually very little to do with it. Other than the common use of "Esc[" (that ANSI uses mostly to drive the cursor etc.), ANSI BBS music has nothing else in common with the ANSI standard. Should anything change with regard to the present music protocol, I will attempt to keep up with it for those of you who enjoy a little tune now and again from your PC. EXAMPLE BARE BONES MISCEL MUSIC STRING: Esc[M T200L8O4D+GL4A+A+A+A+L8F.L16GL8G+AA+P8A+GL4D+D+D+ #14 I incorporated a 1k music buffer to allow some background music ability and avoid overflows. Because the music strings are similar to ANSI graphic strings, they can be embedded and dispersed through out any ansi graphics files. NOTE: To conserve executable file size I purposely did not code the actual entire ansi standard as a self contained interpreter. Therefor, although detection of ANSI BBS music is coded, you will still need to have the ANSI.SYS device driver loaded in your CONFIG.SYS file (SET DEVICE=C:?\WHERE?\ANSI.SYS) in order to interpret plain jane ANSI COLOR and GRAPHICS. This feature is activated only via registration. You must also be in either the standard terminal or Doorway mode to hear ANSI music when transmitted. It is disabled in Monitor and Host modes. FINALLY: The number of BBS's that are transmitting music is growing every day. If you call collect, I will be happy to supply you with some BBS numbers that are supporting ANSI BBS music. My special thanks to Linda Bloom, SysOp, BloomUnit BBS, 1-407-687-8712, for her suggestion of, and assistance in, creating this feature. ==================================================================== ALT Z DEFAULTS MENU The Alt-Z key brings up this "Default" Menu screen, wherein you have many options, including the ability to reset the 10 definable macro keys.

Reworked Time Stamp file (SLICK.TYM) and Host User Log (SLICK.USE) to format all info onto 80 character line. ANSI BBS Music has been incorporated into SLICK V5+ terminal. Restricted Host Disable and DROP OS (in Host Mode) to SysOp. [which is FIRST password in SLICK.PAS file] Removed SnowToggle Alt-T from Default Menu [now Alt-W in Term Mode and recoded Alt-T to allow the setting TimeStamp mode as a new run time default. It comes set to OFF. SLICK.USR renamed SLICK.HST and SLICK.BUL renamed SLICK.MSG. BIG NEWS: SLICK V5.+ has been completely overhauled to take full advantage of the fastest possible methods of executing code using the least number of CPU cycles. Host mode, PLUS time stamp logging with elapsed time entry, now available to registered users. See all the details above. Time calculations for Zmodem file transfers (when locking port at 19,200) has been made independent of BRDL register and now based on actual connect baud rates, eliminating erroneous calculations. In order to get upgrades to our registered users the fastest possible way, and to continue with the shareware method of distribution, we have incorporated a proven INSTANT user registration method.
