- For Paths that do not start with a \ or a drive:\, (C:\) is assumed always
- to be within the Terminate home path. So DOWNLOAD\ would actually be:
- C:\TERMINAT\DOWNLOAD\, so you will save a little typing:

-
- Terminate allows you to have 3 different download directories, which can be
- set for each phonebook entry, so if you call systems with one kind of file,
- lets say OS/2 files, you would surely not want them to get mixed up with
- your normal DOS files. The wildcard system in Terminate allows you to
- specify any DOS wildcard (*,?) and the directory where to save the files.
- This will also work when using the point system.
- If you change the first wildcard path you will be asked if this path
- should be copied to all wildcard paths.
-
- *MAIL Is a wildcard for mailpackages MO#, TU#, WE#, TH#, FR#, SA#, SU#
- where the # is a number from 0-9.
- *ARCHIVE Is a wildcard for the most popular archivers, currently
- supported: ARC,ARJ,ZIP,LHA,LZH,DWC,SQZ,ZOO,PAK,HYP,RAR,EXE
- Will also match when the two first characters matches and
- the 3 is a number from 0-9, like: AR1, ZI5 etc.
-
- ^hUpload directory^n
-
- When starting an upload, you can force the filemanager always to start in
- this directory.
-
- ^hScript directory^n
-
- When scripts are ready in Terminate, they will be placed here
-
- ^hTranslation file^n
-
- Which XLT file should default to be loaded at startup. No filename here
- means no translation, which is normal.
-
- ^hPhonebook directory^n
-
- Where to place phonebooks (*.FON), phonebook backups (*.PBK),
- translation files (*.XLT) and keyboard mapping files (*.KBD).
-
- ^hCapture directory^n
-
- Where all the capture files should be stored *.CAP
-
- ^hCapture file^n
-
- Which file should be the default when pressing Alt-L (capture) or
- Alt-I (Screen image)
-
- ^hLog file^n
-
- Name of the logfile. Terminate will keep this file open all the time if the
- logfile toggle is ON. A problem would occur when using networks because you
- cannot write to the same file from several Terminates. You will have to
- define different logfiles or turn it off. You could enter the name
- TER%NET%.LOG and then have an environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
- SET NET=04 and then have a separate number for each machine. Terminate will
- then replace the %NET% so the filename would be TER04.LOG
-
- ^hEditor filename^n
-
- An external editor is something you must have. I admit that people are used
- to different editors and hate learning new keys. Qedit seems to be one of
- the most used and is surely one of the best. You can request or download
- QEDIT from DAN BBS. You should put a !M on the line, so memory will be
- swapped out before calling the editor.
-
- ^hLine command^n
-
- The @LINE is where the line number is replaced when needed. This is
- for example used when you edit one of the manual files. Then Qedit
- can start up and place the cursor on the same line as in Terminate.
-
- ^hViewer filename^n
-
- A viewer is a program that will allow you to look in big files without
- editing. Terminate has a built-in filelister, which works almost like
- the original LIST.COM program by Vernon D. Buerg. Use ^b@LIST^n for the
- internal lister or give the entire filename here. Just remember that with
- the internal lister, you can grab and import to all other functions like
- the SmartNote (Alt-A) or the history strings (Alt-F9).
-
- ^hThe internal lister^n
-
- Use normal cursor movements to browse the file.
-
- F Search for a keyword
- F3 Search for same keyword again
- F9 Search for same keyword again backwards
- H Toggle hexmode
- Alt-K String grabber (Shift cursor to adjust size)
- T Tag files
-
- ^hProtocol directory^n
-
- If you do not give any path with the external protocols, this directory
- will be assumed.
-
- ^hShell directory^n
-
- When shelling to DOS with Alt-J, change to this directory. You could enter
- a C:\ if you want to have the root directory as current when shelling. If
- blank, then the Terminate directory will be used. In the filemanager
- Terminate will always change to the current directory in the current
- window.
-
- ^hSwap file^n
-
- If you do not have enough XMS or EMS memory, Terminate will swap the memory
- to a swapfile. You should define a different swapfile for each person that
- runs Terminate if you are on a network. Use the environment variables to
- fix this like the logfile: TER%NET%.SWP
-
- ^hUtility directory^n
-
- When opening some files, this directory will first be searched.
- Place all other files that have nothing to do directly with Terminate in
- this directory and don't ever allow the Terminate home directory (eg:
- C:\TERMINAT) to be filled with all kinds of garbage.
-
- Some of the files that should be placed in here are:
-
- MAGIC.TXT List of magic names for the point system
- NODELIST.000 Nodelists for the point system
- PASSWORD.BAD Bad passwords for the password checker
- PASSWORD.TXT Passwords for the point system
- TERMINAT.CST Costfile
- TERMINAT.EXT Extensions for the file manager
- TERMINAT.LGO File to show at startup if registered
- TERMINAT.MOD Quick modem install
- WELCOME.ASC Welcome picture for the hostmode
-
- ^hManual directory^n
-
- Where to search for the help and manual files, if you run several
- Terminate's on a network you can save diskspace by using the same
- manual files.
-
- ^hRun after download^n ^hRun after upload^n
-
- After an internal or external download/upload, this program or batch file
- can be called. This could be useful if you have some kind of program
- to import descriptions into a FILES.BBS file, for example.
- !0 on commandline will be replaced with the current download directory.
-
- ^hQwk reply files^n
-
- When you write offline mail with an offline reader like TMAIL or other
- QWK readers. Then your messages will be saved in a file. This file should
- be specified here. When you then upload the file Terminate will delete
- it afterwards.
-
- ^hSemaphore directory^n
-
- This directory will contain the exit file, look below for more information.
-
- ^hExit file^n
-
- The exit file is used to force Terminate to shutdown without actually being
- at this workstation. Terminate will look if the exit file exists at startup
- and will only exit if someone touches (change filedate/time) this file.
- You can also delete the file and create it again in a batchfile like this:
-
- DEL C:\TERMINAT\TER-EXIT.NOW
- ECHO hello>C:\TERMINAT\TER-EXIT.NOW
-
- On a network you should turn this off or have the directory to point a
- place where Terminate only have read access, so the users cannot force
- other tasks down. If you want to be able to shut a particular Terminate
- down use SET NET=1 and have TER-EXIT.NO%NET% as exit file.
- The places from where you can shut Terminate down:
-
- The hostmode
- The point system
- The fax receive
- Terminal mode
-
- ^hFilelist manager^n
-
- You will probably download a lot of filelists from a lot of different
- systems. To quickly access and tag files from these filelists, you
- can press Alt-F6 and F, select the filelist and tag files with T.
- You MUST have a seperate directory for the filelists, which ONLY contain
- filelists and information that can be packed into the archives. Please
- do not try to mix up other files. For security reasons you cannot
- use the Terminate path or the ROOT of any drive.
- The Pack and Unpack commands are used to save space on your hard disks,
- since filelists are not used all the time and can easily be stored in
- a way that only uses half or less diskspace.
