Welcome to Zswitch 1.0. This is a VERY simple procedure that lets you call up a dialog box to switch between the ways White Knight sends a file. It can send a file for three recievers:
1. White Knight (ESC-Z): This is when connected to another WK user.
2. Unix (rz^m): A Unix system.
3. Opus (uz^m): An Opus BBS. (May work with other BBS's that use the same
format.
To use is simple. Just choose Initiate Procedure from the Service menu. If you are using this often, then I recommend installing it as a Macro Key (or command equivalent.) See the White Knight documentation on how to do this.
This procedure is most useful to people who call both Unix hosts and Opus BBS's. But at the least, it's a good example of how to make your dialog boxes look nice using the Shell compiler.
Note: If you decide to make your own changes or whatever to this procedure, do remember that the file Zswitch.txt has a resource fork, so you must use a text editor, not a word processor.
I would like to here some feedback on this procedure, especially thoughts on the interface. I could have make it a simple Radio Control, but I didn't feel that would be as fun to use.
