Disk-fer Terminal Software
|
||
Written by
|
||
The Redheaded Freak
|
||
|
||
The main point of this software is to make the world of piracy a whole
|
||
lot easier and more efficient of the computers time of disk-space and of YOUR
|
||
time. You need not be presant during the x-fer which can and has lasted up to
|
||
1 hour and 10 minutes. You dont need two extra disks for any ]PARTS or
|
||
anything of the sort. Instead you need Disk-fer and a blank disk.
|
||
|
||
Operation of Disk-fer is as follows. When you bootup the program you
|
||
might be confronted with one of many things.
|
||
|
||
1)- It could be in lowercase (if you can't read lowercase) in which case you
|
||
hit 'F' to configure the system.
|
||
|
||
2)- The slot could be configured wrong in which case you need to hit 'C' to
|
||
change the slot. If it hangs the system as a result of a bad slot # you
|
||
need to mod the program BEFORE you run it.
|
||
|
||
To make this mod from the monitor type:
|
||
|
||
*905:N0 (where 'N' is the slot #)
|
||
|
||
if your slot # is 2 then there should be a $20 there.
|
||
|
||
3)- It comes up Disk-fer with the right slot and all!!!!!!!!!!!
|
||
|
||
|
||
After you get it configured for your system you should see a bunch of
|
||
commands staring back at you!
|
||
|
||
P)- Toggles between on hook and off hook. An inverse PHN on the status bar
|
||
will be lit when the cat is online.
|
||
|
||
V)- Toggles between MODEM and VOICE mode. Modem mode will be forced at the
|
||
Begining of a X-fer. And VOICE mode will be forced at the menu.
|
||
|
||
C)- Changes the Apple-cat slot. An intesesting little thing that happens
|
||
on my computer is that when I change the slot to my printer card and
|
||
the printer is off, the carrier light flashes on and off at the same
|
||
rate as the video circuitry updates the screen. Leaving broken
|
||
characters on the screen.
|
||
|
||
M)- Toggles Between ORGINATE and ANSWER mode of the modem. During a B)oth
|
||
trade the computer to send first is the one that is in ORGINATE at the
|
||
start of the X-fer.
|
||
|
||
F)- Reconfigure Disk-fer. This command is prompted by a message reading
|
||
LOWERCASE (Y/N)... Quite obviously you answer this question Yes or No
|
||
Then it asks you if you want a configured copy saved on disk. the
|
||
configured copy contains the current password of the system and the
|
||
current slot of the apple-cat. Your lowercase status is also saved on
|
||
disk. The file saved on disk is called 'Disk-fer' and can be BRUN as
|
||
your running copy of the program
|
||
|
||
D)- Dos command. This option allows you to enter a dos command to be
|
||
parsed by the current DOS. (any DOS command can be entered)
|
||
|
||
E)- Edit password. This option edits the current password of the system.
|
||
you may enter lowercase/cntrl/normal chars to be used as your password.
|
||
The password is used to keep unwanted people (Software Underground
|
||
Members) out of your system.
|
||
|
||
S)-\
|
||
R)-+\
|
||
B)-++\
|
||
L)-+++\
|
||
K)-++++\These five options are the Transfer/Recieve options. I will explain how
|
||
use them in general then in detail. When you select one of these
|
||
options the copmuter comes up with 'Enter password :' at this point you
|
||
can either type:
|
||
|
||
<ESC> to abort....
|
||
<RET> to transfer when both Apples are in 'local mode' (see below)....
|
||
Hitting return will just jump to the transfer routine that you chose at
|
||
the Menu.
|
||
|
||
A two character password entered at this prompt puts the Apple into a
|
||
|
||
remote computer. This option is used to call up a 'Disk-fer BBS' which
|
||
will be waiting for calls to send disks, if of course the two passwords
|
||
match. Those two passwords are:
|
||
|
||
The computer that is the 'BBS'
|
||
The password that you type after the command.
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Sending and receiving files.
|
||
------- --- --------- ------
|
||
|
||
S)- Send the diskette in drive one. This command MUST be executed along
|
||
with the 'R' command.
|
||
|
||
R)- Receive a disk from the lines to drive 1.
|
||
|
||
B)- Receive a disk and put it on drive two. And Send the diskette in drive
|
||
two. The order of operations is decided by the ORG/ANS mode. The
|
||
in ORG sends first.
|
||
|
||
L)- Lop-sided send. Send both the disks in both drives. (Note, to many of
|
||
these X-fers will cause the computer to self-destruct to prevent you
|
||
from being LEACHED upon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
|
||
|
||
K)- Lop-sided receive. Receive disks in both drives. These are the best
|
||
X-fers that the program does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
|
||
|
||
(Note: if the computer is not in Unattended mode these X-fers will
|
||
'never' abort by themselves. They will just keep hacking away unless
|
||
a sync error occurs and the receive skips a block. These errors are
|
||
possible but not likely. If the transfer ends on its own. Then you can
|
||
be 98% sure that the disks have been sent correctly.
|
||
|
||
When the X-fer ends both sides will wait for you to hit a key.
|
||
the first person to hit a key will be in control of both computers
|
||
He/She (Wo-man's LIB) will be sent a small menu at 300 baud.
|
||
|
||
B)ell or H)ang up??
|
||
|
||
You can either page the owner of the computer with the B)eep option
|
||
or you can H)ang up the other computer so that you can call back
|
||
This menu is nice if your freind wants to go to bed while you download
|
||
the programs in his drives. You can hang up his computer so it won't
|
||
tie up the lines all night.
|
||
At any time during this little menu you can hit escape to enter the
|
||
Main menu.
|
||
|
||
(Note: If your computer is in Unattended mode it will not jump to this
|
||
menu. but it will go to wait for another ring.)
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Unattended Mode
|
||
---------- ----
|
||
The Unattended menu is reached by hitting 'U' and it is exited by
|
||
hitting 'U' also. In this menu the fone will never be kept off hook for more
|
||
than a second. When you hit one of the five send/receive commands the computer
|
||
comes up:
|
||
|
||
'Waiting for ring...'
|
||
XX (XX is your current password)
|
||
|
||
When the computer receives a ring or you hit '+' it will wait 8 seconds
|
||
for a carrier. Then it will wait 8 seconds for the correct password to be sent.
|
||
If either of these timing requirements is not met then the computer hangs up
|
||
and awaits another call.
|
||
|
||
If the mode chosen for unattended mode includes a receive mode such as
|
||
R, K or B and the apple receives a complete diskette in a drive then it will no
|
||
longer await a ring because it would just receive a program on the same disk
|
||
that had just been written to.
|
||
