Connector Terminal Emulation

Connector Terminal Emulation for RISC OS 3

Documentation

I hope most of the program explains itself.

Configuration

Modem

The modem init string will be send to the modem optinal on startup or if you select "Init modem" on the main menu. The dial prefix string + number + dial suffix string will be send to the modem while dialling a number. For hangup it's possible to send the hangup string or to drop DTR for one second.(this works only if you modem is configured to do this) "|W" waits one second "|M" return

Terminal

The insert/delete option for chat works only if both sides are using Connector.

Serial Port

If you use a PC cable you should use the "InternalPC" driver,otherwise the "Internal" driver.

File transfer

Filetype conversion syntax:extension of the filename space filetype number gif 695,pcx 697 ... If you turn on the "Save terminal status" option the actual status of terminaltype,baud rate,data,filetransfer type,spool speed,wrap mode, local echo,cr==>cr/lf,lf==>cr/lf,25 lines will be also saved.

Toolbar

select button : sending files menu button : opens the downloads directory adjust button : receiving files (with Zmodem the receive starts automaticly)

Telephone Book Icon

select button : opens the Telephone Book Directory. menu button : opens a fast dial menu.

Dial Icon

Bottom Window

Displays the current modem status. Terminaltype,baud,data,filetransfer(can be altered),online time, modem status,status line for autologon. Pressing the button on the left opens a serial information window.

Main window

the select-button grab's text in the mousebuffer. the adjust-button paste's the text out of the mousebuffer at the cursor position. double click selects a word. trible click selects a line. dragging an text-file in the main window paste's the text at the cursor position. dragging an data-file (with shift dragg all filetypes) in the main window opens the spool window.

Telephone Book

double click start's the connection.

Script Files

The Syntax looks like this:

  REM Remark
  NAME     "what ever"    ;
  NUMBER   "1234564"      ; Telephone number
  TERMINAL VT102          ; VT102,ANSI,CHAT
  BAUD     19200
  DATA     8N1
  FILETR   ZModem <TX window size> <send crashrecovery> <ACK intervall> 
                  <receive crashrecovery|overwrite|rename>
           XModem <CRC|Checksum> <128 bytes|1024 bytes>
  WRAP     ON             ; ON,OFF
  ECHO     ON             ; ON,OFF
  25LINES  OFF            ; ON,OFF
  AVATAR   ON             ; turns ON/OFF the avatar emulation (only ANSI).
  ONLINE   120            ; max. online time(in minutes) default is
                          ; 0 = unlimited
  MODEMINIT ""            ; Init string for Modem
  DOWNLOAD  ""            ; own download directory
  ENDHEADER

  REM After "ENDHEADER" only SEND,WAIT,DIAL,REM, IF, IFN, GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, 
  REM SET, INC, DEC, HANGUP, QUIT, WAITUNTIL can follow.

  WAITUNTIL 13.08.1997 11:59:40 ; waits until ....
  DIAL                          ; dials number
  WAIT 50                       ; waits 50 centiseconds
  WAIT "Login"                  ; waits for String
  SEND "topdog|M"               ; sends String
  WAIT "Password",600           ; waits for String but only 6 seconds
  SEND "xxxxxx|M"               ;
  
  REM This is just a demo ...
  
  loop:
  SET counter 10
  GOSUB do_this  
  DEC counter
  IF counter > 0 GOTO loop

  IFN WAIT "test",400 GOTO something_different
  SEND "Ok."
  GOTO the_end
  something_different:
  SEND "Not ok."

  the_end:
  
  END
  
  do_this:
  SEND "blub"
  RETURN

The script commands are NOT case sensitive, but the variables and labels are case sensitive. If you choose "New" in the telephone book window you get a window to enter all this things ... if you press save it generates this scriptfile so you don't need to know the SYNTAX. If you choose "Logon" it opens the scriptfile in an text editor, where you can edit the part under the DIAL command to autologon in a BBS.

That's it, hope it helps.
