NOTE: Below is the screen you will get when you type PCBSCMP ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCBSCMP Ver 1.0, by Bill Shields, Hill AFB, UT, 1991 Usage: PCBSCMP [/F filename] Purpose: Creates REMOTE.INF from PCBOARD.SYS file. File contains NAME, BAUD, PASSWORD, COMM PORT, ANSI MODE comma delimited /F filename .... If specified the parameters will be supplied to filename in the following order: %1 ............ FIRST NAME %2 ............ LAST NAME %3 ............ BAUD %4 ............ PASSWORD %5 ............ COMM PORT %6 ............ ANSI MODE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I designed this file so that I could supply information to my DBASE IV program (I execute it with RUNTIME using DOORWAY). If the program finds a REMOTE.INF file it knows its running via remote and will read the individuals information in. Each individual is assigned security levels in the program which sets what they can and cannot do. When they comply with a transaction it plugs their name in the updated by field so everyone knows whats going on (keeps folks honest). NOTE: This is where it gets its name PCBSCMP for PCBoard and Small Computer Management Program (SCMP). This is how I use it. I figure that you may have a comparable use for it so I'm making it available (released to public domain - all my programs are free and non-nagware). REQUIREMENTS: This version requires that PCBOARD.SYS file be in the default directory. Below is how I run a batchfile supplying to it all the information such as communication port (the REMOTE.INF does the rest via DBASE). : BATCH FILE TO EXECUTE WANTADS.BAT FILE echo off cls watchdg1 on e: cd \dbase\wantads copy c:\pcb\pcboard.sys pcbscmp /F wantads c: cd \pcb watchdg1 off board
