These are a few scripts that will make a system script that will set all of
the variable necessary for calling a system for mail, and file functions.

It is self explanatory to generate the script, but there are some things
that will need to be modified in your current boyan.mac file for all of
this to work.

The files contained are:

 ø Readme.txt  -  this file

 ø Script.bsc  -  this contains all of the commands that will be used to
                  run the system script.

 ø Makemail.bsc - is the file that you will need to run that makes the
                  system script for you.

 ø Nite.bsc     - is a sample of my own script that I use to start calling
                  all of the systems that I call.

ø Boy.mac      - this is my own macro file that I use on my system. If
                  you would like to look at it, I would suggest
                  that you rename your own and look at mine.
                  If you do, you might need to make the following changes
                  if you plan on trying to use it:
                     a) modem init string. macro #9
                     b) macro #1 has commands for call waiting.

ø  Other *.bsc are some advanced scripts.


Purpose:

   This program is to aid anyone interested in calling systems unattended
for mail and file transfers. All of this is will be done with Boyan
scripts. Even the process of creating a script will be done with a Boyan
script.

Getting started:

First place all of the *.bsc files in the boyan script file directory.
Next hit ALT-R and delete anything on the status line, followed by <CR>.
Highlight the script called makemail.bsc and hit <cr>.

       You will need to have the following handy to complete the script.

         ø  Name to call the script.
         ø  Type of door for mail.
         ø  Door number.
         ø  Name of system mail packets for both up and downloads.
         ø  The number of mail packets that you wish to keep.

The script called MailMake.bsc will check for your first and last name in
macros #111 and #112. If not contained there, it will ask you for your
first and last name. Then it will install them in 111 and 112 for you. The
next time that you run MakeMail it will display your first and last name
on the screen and ask if this is correct. The script will then check to
see if you have a defined password in the setup. If not it will ask you to
install one. The reset of the script will be question and answer of the
above questions. All of this information will be stored in your user
defined script name.

Operation of the script.

Once you have created the User defined script, it will set all of the
variables that will be needed for the call. All of the variables will be
used in the script call SCRIPT.bsc. This way, if there are any changes in
the mail door(s). A new script.bsc file can be easily replaced for the
existing one without having to changes to the related commands for the
system.bsc.

If you run into any problems related to the doors or the script(s), I can
be reached on any Boyan conference that you can find. I currently host the
Boyan conference on the following nets: Rime, Ilink, SmartNet and U'NInet.
Comments welcome.

Thanks and enjoy,
