- This is the FOSSIL version of the Cam-Mail Door. This program will
- *ONLY* work with you are using the /M version of PCBoard. If you aren't,
- the program will ABORT and will not run.
-
- If you've followed the DOCS that Clark Development, Inc. included, you
- will have noticed that they suggest that you use the SET FOSSIL=F environment .
- All of this documentation relies that you are using this environment as it will
- make things very easy to setup.
-
- Step #1:
-
- You will need to modify your MAIL Batch file. Change it to look something
- like this:
-
- CD \CAM-MAIL
- %FOSSIL%CAM-MAIL %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR% NO /NOWINDOW
- %PCBDRIVE%
- CD %PCBDIR%
- BOARD.BAT
-
- You will notice that the EXE FOSSIL name is FCAM-MAI.EXE. This is where
- the SET FOSSIL=F environment comes into play. This way the door will
- load properly (otherwise, it won't run or you'll run into problems).
-
- Step #2:
-
- You will also need to MODIFY your CAMSZ.BAT and CAMRZ.BAT. I've tested
- the external protocol and everything works. However, the problem is
- trying to get ahold of a ZMODEM.EXE that actually works properly <g>.
- The documentation that Clark Development specifies for their PCB?Z.BAT
- files will work just fine for Cam-Mail as well. You just need to rename
- them to CAMSZ.BAT and CAMRZ.BAT and place them in the CAM-MAIL directory.
-
- Here's an example of the CAMSZ.BAT:
-
- echo off
- if %FOSSIL%==F goto FOSSIL
- dsz handshake both pB4096 estimate 0 %5 z sz %3
- goto done
-
- :FOSSIL
- szmodem port %1 speed %2 sz %3 /FOSSIL /DELAYTIME 0 /NORBL /NOSBL
- :done
-
- Here's an example of the CAMRZ.BAT:
-
- echo off
- if %FOSSIL%==F goto FOSSIL
- dsz handshake both estimate 0 %5 pB4096 pd0 z pr1 rz -p %3
- goto done
-
- :FOSSIL
- szmodem port %1 speed %2 rz %3 /FOSSIL /DELAYTIME 0 /NORBL /NOSBL /FL
- :done
-
- Both of these BATCH files have been included. At the time of this
- writing, PCBoard's Zmodem is in BETA testing. According to messages
- that I've seen posted by CDC employee's, their version of Zmodem wil
- work properly in the FOSSIL mode. The testing that I did with their
- Zmodem required the PCBOARD.DAT to be in the current directory. What
- you will need to do (if you plan on using theirs) is to change to the
- PCBoard NODE directory and then run the program. You could modify your
- CAMSZ.BAT/CAMRZ.BAT to look like this:
-
- echo off
- if %FOSSIL%==F goto FOSSIL
- dsz handshake both pB4096 estimate 0 %5 z sz %3
- goto done
-
- :FOSSIL
- %PCBDRIVE%
- CD %PCBDIR%
- zmsend port %1 speed %2 sz %3 /FOSSIL /DELAYTIME 0 /NORBL /NOSBL
- CD \CAM-MAIL
- :done
-
-
- That's about it. Those are the only two modifications that are required.
- Enjoy and have fun!
