- Operation Requirements
-
- TeleTest requires very little:
-
- 64k + Your ARCHIVE UTILITY REQUIREMENTS For Memory
- A FOSSIL DRIVER INSTALLED (X00 or BNU Work best)
- Telegard 2.7 Or Compatible version, or simalar system (NonTG)
- Enough Free Space to unarc your LARGEST ARCHIVE at all times
-
- Introduction
-
- Upload testers which are simple enough to use for Telegard
- are a rare sight. Now that has changed, this version of
- TeleTest is only the first in a series of testers for
- Telegard, and now Any Bbs system such as Renegade.
- Formerly called TeleZip, but was devoted specificaly
- to ZIP Files, I desided to re-do the program from scratch
- and make it faster, better and more efficient. All of the
- archive utilities I have ever encountered which are any use
- has returned an errorlevel different when there is an error
- decompressing files, so testing is a waste of time. It
- depends on decompression errorlevels only.
-
- Command Line Parameters
-
- Telegard limits the parameters to three of them, @F for the
- file, and @I for files to be added, or location of
- decompression. Then if you do not have a Telegard compatible
- system you need to specify so with Parameter four, "/D" for
- disabling the loading of telegard data files.
-
- Command Line Operation: Testing Operation
-
- TELETEST.EXE <FILE> <PATH> [/D]
-
- FILE: The path and name to the file (@F In telegard)
-
- /D: Disable Telegard DataFile Loading, for use with Non
- Telegard systems. The only real change between non-
- telegard boards and telegard boards is the status line,
- in telegard systems it displays the user online, on
- non-tg systems it simply says NonTelegard Mode
-
- PATH: Path to the Configuration file, A MUST FOR OPERATION!
- If it does not fit inside of the system's input line then
- simply make a batch file like this one:
-
-
- @echo off
- TELETEST.EXE %1 <PATH TO CONFIGURATION FILE>
-
- A Simple batch file like that can save a lot of problems
- and headaches.
-
-
- Physical Operation
-
- first it loads the data files, then it looks for the file you
- specified, and figures out what archive format it is by
- looking at the extention and comparing it to your Archive
- Configuration. If configured, Batch File #1 is now run,
- and then it then unarcs the file into the temp.
- directory created by TeleTest. It then checks the
- Errorlevel setting in your Archive configuration, if it
- is not equal then it aborts with an errorlevel of 1. If
- anything else goes wrong in the program, errorlevel of 2 is
- is sent. Otherwise it continues by scanning the unarced
- file for viruses, if the errorlevel does not equal the defined,
- it aborts with an errorlevel of 1 because there is a possible
- virus in the file, but before exiting if configured runs
- Batch File #3. If it does equal the defined value, it then
- runs Batch File #2. After which, it will (If placed
- in the configuration of TeleTest) add a Zip Comment if the
- file is a ZIP file, and then adds the file specified
- (Advertisment file) to the archive if it is over the
- specified filesize in the CFG File (Minimum file size is to
- stop adding the advertisment to files too small and anoying
- the users. Egsample: 1k Doc file, and a 4k advertisment
- makes the file too large compared to the original size!).
-
- Batch Files #1, 2, 3, and 4.
-
- All of these batch files are for your convience, so you can
- do things to the uploaded files. Such things are stripping
- of the Auto Verification in the ZIP Files, or logging the
- name into a file which is searched in to stop people from
- uploading duplicates, even after the file has been deleted.
- Many possiblities exist, here is a breef description on
- when and possibly why the batch file is run. The name of
- the file being tested is passes as Parameter #1 (%1 in the
- batch files).
-
-
- 1) Batch file #1 is run before any testing occurs. This
- one some use for the stripping of the Auto Verification on
- ZIP Files (Using IfType.exe to make sure the file is ZIP
- Type).
-
- 2) Batch file #2 is run after the scanning has taken place,
- and the file has PASSED, no viruses exist.
-
- 3) Batch file #3 is run only when there is a VIRUS
- DETECTED. This is good for copying the files to another
- directory, or even deleting the file. In some cases you
- can also hang up on the user using a program to do so.
- Scanning the whole hard drive when this happens also is an
- idea.
-
- 4) After the file still has PASSES Testing (No Viruses)
- this command is run. It is good to delete advertisment
- files from other BBSes which are anoying or any other thing
- you wish to think up.
-
- These Batch files can also be run as EXE Files, or COM
- files. It does not matter as long as they are specified
- in the configuration utility.
-
- Installation
-
- Running the program for all BBSes should be almost the
- same.It loads in the Last Caller data file, and gets the
- current callers name and number. It then looks to see if
- there is a Carrier, if not then it assumes it is a Local
- execution (Death?) and turns OFF ALL MODEM COMMUNICATIONS.
- If this happens then you may not see the correct user name
- on the status line since telegard does not log Local logins
- and teletest has no way to get the username in that case.
- Of course if you disable telegard data reading, then this
- feature will not exist (Displaying the user name).
-
- Telegard Instalation in Detail ---
-
- To install TeleTest, go to the Sysop Menu of Telegard.
- Then press P for the Main Configuration menu. Press F for
- the file section configuration and then A for Archive
- Confguration. Then modify (M1, M2...) all archives with
- the + infront of it (Active Archives). Change the Test
- Archive Command (Test Command) to "TELETEST.EXE @F <CFG
- PATH>" or if the input line is too long, "TELETEST.BAT @F"
- and create a Batch file with the folowing: <NEXT PAGE>
-
- echo off
- TELETEST.EXE %1 <PATH TO CFG FILE>
-
- This will enable you to have the configuration file in odd
- places and large paths.
-
- *** MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE YOUR ARCHIVE UTILITY PATH ***
- *** DEFINED THAT TELETEST.EXE OR TELETEST.BAT IS ***
- *** LOCATED IN THAT DIRECTORY OR IT WILL NOT WORK!! ***
-
-
- Non-Telegard Instalation Non-Specific
-
- You will need to change all archive definitions such that they
- will run TeleTest instead of your archive utility to test
- the archive integrity. If this is a Renegade System, folow
- Telegard Instalation Procedure although some minor things
- will be changed (IE: Menu command letters). Other systems
- you have to be familar with your own system since there are
- so many different systems out there I can not specify for all
- of them.
-
-
- Now you are done! When run localy it will not display the
- right caller, it will dislpay the last caller but will
- still be logged in thhe right mannor in the Sysop Logs

- History
-
- 1.00 - First Release

- 2.00 - Major changes... Too numerious to list. (Basicaly the
- code was re-written). This version has been beta-tested
- for over 5 months so it should work perfectly, longest
- beta testing in NETiX Software History!

-
- Thank You For Trying TELETEST v2.00, Hope You Enjoy it!
