Originaly posted by Gordon James of Nova Scotia, Canada --------- 1701 is drive not ready (recognized) 17 Drive error 0 Not found 1 Drive 1 (C:) There are at least three possible problems. 1. Cables not hooked up right. Make sure Pin 1 on the drive goes to pin 1 on the controller (usually signified by a red marking on the ribbon connector) 2. No power to drive (Check that it is plugged in) 3. Jumpers set wrong on drive. Don't play with these until all else fails. Then post more info on the drive. 4. CMOS type set wrong 5.

I set my log one time and never have to toggle it on. The long "on-off" window will not show when u go into Qmodem program, like it does when u toggle the log on and off, but once u set it, it logs on every time you go into the program, until u toggle it off. Or that's the way my log works. Just remember it is logging your time on - you can build up quite a file if u do not delete it now and then. Sorry, I am not connected to the use-net you mentionned in next message. Used to when in Austin, Tx as used several genealogy databases - finally found out how to unscribe them when I moved. Since I will be in Tyler less than 2 more months, haven't subscribed again. If I am using the wrong termonlogy, sorry - don't know how to message as u requested.

FJ> * SLMR 2.1 * On a clear disk you can seek forever Hi Fred: I have not had a chance to read the manual yet and I know nothing about scripts as of yet. I notice that you are using SLMR 2.1 and NOT the OLX reader in QModenPro. I have a copy of SLMR but have not opened it yet. The same with BLUEWAVE. Do you prefer using SLMR over OLX? What about Bluewave...compared to SLMR and OLX. What do you think?

DH*I would like some assistance in regards to scripting with QModem Pro *for DOS, version 1.53. DH*I would like a list of the commands available for use in a SCRIPT *file. In particular, I would like to know if there is an "IF, THEN" *statement available that would allow me to check for the existence of *a file. It would also be helpful if I could execute the DOS Delete *command through a script. DH*My reasons are this: I use BlueWave 2.20, and on many boards, I do *not use the QWK packet system, which is the only QMPro recognizes. *It's flags are useless to me, because it is not aware that a BlueWave *packet exists to be uploaded. Further, I like to call all of my *favorite boards, (not just the ones that have outgoing mail ready), so *the [S]end mail command is useless to me for that reason too. DH*As you can guess, I would like to set up scripts for all the BBS's I *frequent, but have the SCRIPT detect mail packets that should be *uploaded so that it can execute an appropriate procedure. DH*Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! Here are a few: $DATE - system date $TIME - system time $DLPATH - download path as specified in Configuration $ULPATH - upload path as specified in Configuration $SCPATH - script directory path in Configuration $QWKPATH - qwk path " " $PASSWORD - password field $PACKET - contains the name of the packet for the connected entry CAPTURE - open a file to capture all terminal I/O DOWNLOAD - download protocol filename [ascii options] DOWNLOAD z qm42sst.zip ;download with Zmodem and put in current ;dir EXIST - conditional branch EXIST filename LABEL ; if FILENAME is found the script will jump ;to the location in LABEL. Can be used with $SUCCESS and ;the jump using the LABEL will occur. Can be used with ;$FAIL if no matches the script execution will continue ;with the next sequential statement. GOSUB - call a subroutine at a specified LABEL GOSUB SUB1 ;call the SUB1 subroutine EXIT ;end the script SUB1: ;the subroutine SUB1 ---- ;script commands RETURN ;end of subroutine and branch back to EXIT ;statement GOTO - unconditional branch to a LABEL in the script GOTO SUB1 ;jump to sub1 BACKHERE: ;label EXIT ;end the script SUB1: ;the subroutine sub1 ---- ;script commands GOTO BACKHERE ;end of subroutine. go back up HANGUP - return modem on Hook IF - conditional branch based on the result of a test IF CONDITION LABEL IF $ONLINE SkipDial ;go around dial if ONLINE DIAL "1" ;dial if offline SkipDial: ;continue...

"John Doe^M" ;sends your name and a return when quoted string is ;received WHEN "What is your password?" "xxxxxx^M" This is not all the commands but should help to get you started.
