- Unzip the file ZCOMLITE.ZIP with PKUNZIP 2.04g or higher.
-
- You will have the following files:
- ZCOMLITE.GEO
- STREAMC.GEO
- README.TXT
-
- First you must create a directory in which to place ZComm Lite. The directory
- you need to create is \GEOWORKS\WORLD\ZCOMM. This directory can be on your
- B: drive or on the C: drive (PCMCIA card). If placing on the C: drive, you
- MUST create all of the directories specified. If you intend on using an
- internal PCMCIA modem, such as the AMT StarCard, then you MUST create the
- directory on your B: drive.
-
- Next place the file ZCOMLITE.GEO in the ZCOMM directory you just created.
-
- Lastly place the file STREAMC.GEO file in the Zoomers B:\GEOWORKS\SYSTEM
- directory.
-
- To run ZComm Lite, use the Launcher hard icon, select ZCOMM and then select
- ZComm Lite. After the initial greetings dialog box, you are presented with
- another dialog box requesting you select a default COMM port. If you are using
- an external modem select the RS-232 option. If you are using an internal
- PCMCIA modem card, select PCMCIA.
- *** Note, the only PCMCIA modem I have been able to test with is the new
- AMT StarCard. I have not tested the modem to DEATH, but tests that
- I have done show the modem works well.

- All of the above options are self explanatory except for Dialing Directory.
- ZComm Lite allows you to keep four phone entries for your most often called
- phone numbers. Each Phone Directory record contains four fields. Those fields
- are: Name, Phone, Params and Misc.
- Name is not currently used by ZComm Lite other than to give the user a
- descriptive title for the record.
- Phone contains the phone number to call.
- Params is not currently used, it's intended purpose is to allow the user
- to define on a record by record basis how the communication port
- should be setup.
- Misc currently, is usable by Zcomm Lite for sending of passwords, etc.
- to host systems. As an example, if one of your entries was for
- Compuserve, you would place your UserID and Password in the Misc
- field. Then when you receive the ID: prompt you would select
- menu option Comm | Send Misc and it would send the info. For this
- example Misc would look like '7xxxx,xxxx/cccccccccc'.
-
- The buttons on the bottom of the dialog box have the following uses:
- 'Nxt' and 'Prv' buttons to navigate and display each record.
- 'Save' button to save any changes to a record.
- 'Ok' button to call the currently viewed record.
- 'Quit' button to cancel without calling.
-
- DISCLAIMER
- I have tested this program pretty completely both in simulation and on my
- own Zoomer. I have had no problems, but then I wrote the program and I know
- what I should do and not do.
- That having been said, I must make the following disclaimer statement.
- I will not be held legally or monitarily responsable for any damages or loss
- of data incurred thru the use of ZComm Lite. Use it at your own risk.
-
-
- All that having been said, ENJOY. ZComm Lite, being a FREEWARE program,
- will have no further features added. It will be maintained and any bugs
- reported to me will be fixed in future revisions.
-
- For a full feature laden version watch for the announcement of the
- Commercial shrink wrapped version called ZComm Pro.
