That's right! There's no read.me file with this package. I dare to be different and decided to have my 'readme' file named 'notes'. This file contains the revision history. Please read and print the file ICPR20.DOC before you start working with this package. Everything is menu driven, but you still have to know just what it all means. Please use and enjoy this package, and contact me with suggestions for improvement. Wayne Wolf WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE ===================================================================== You should have the following files in this ICPR20.ARC archive: ICPR20.COM ICPR20.DOC FLOPPY.BAT HARD.BAT FLOPRAM.BAT NOTES CNVRT.COM REVISION HISTORY ===================================================================== Revision 1.0 Version: Procomm Name: ICPR10 This package was originally distributed under the name INCMND, but I decided to expand this idea to be useful on most of the popular communications packages, since each has their own preference of comm packages. ICPR10 has an improved version if INCMND30. But, since I am starting the revisions at 1.0 and renaming it, we'll just assume that this is where is all begins... Revision 1.1 Version: Procomm Name: ICPR11 This revision was only going to be a bug fix but I decided to go ahead and change the part that irks most of you and me as well. Don't you hate having to wait for ICPR10 to recognize when a bbs is busy and not have to sit there while it times out waiting for a connect for 40 seconds! Ugh! Well, no more! ICPR11 will recognize the modem result code and act on the spot. Those redials go ever so quick now that the BUSY code is recognized. That was the biggie in this revision. The bug fix is in MAKED. It seems that every time it was tested more than a page of numbers was entered, in one sitting. What ICPR10's MAKED did was after running MAKED once, you couldn't run it again immediately or it would hang the system. That is taken care of now. And if you entered less than a page of area codes and then ran MAKED to add more, it would hang. That too is fixed. The documentation was altered a little, and that's about it for this revision. If you have ICPR10 already, erase the files MAKED.COM, MAKEOTHR.COM, MAKESTEP.COM, D.CMD, and DIAL.CMD on your disk you installed ICPR10 on. Copy the new MAKE files onto the disk you erased the old ones from and follow the note below. If you don't have ICPR10 then don't worry about this, read the docs and go to it! ***************** PLEASE READ THIS Unfortunately, the old D.CMD generated cannot be read IF YOU ALREADY properly by this new MAKED, so make sure you delete the ARE USING ICPR10 old D.CMD and regenreate it from scratch. Also delete ***************** the file DIAL.CMD and run MAKEOTHR once again to generate the newly revised version of DIAL.CMD. All of the other files previously generated by the MAKE files are compatible with ICPR11. Revision 2.0 Version: Procomm Name: ICPR20 This is a complete revamp of the package. Now there is only one big program that does all the creating. It has the three sub-parts of MAKED, MAKESTEP, and MAKEOTHR. This new revision is completely menu driven and a lot more fancy than the previous revisions. Too many new features to mention have been added to both the creator and also the actual script files. Everything, finally, seems to be bug free. ICPR20 takes complete control of Procomm and turns it into a program specific for PCPursuit users, and does this only through the script language! The best feature added to this new revision is the ability to invoke the creator from inside a step file, inside Procomm while connected to PcPursuit and a city! This allows you to add BBSs as you discover them, without hassle. Just select the option to invoke ICPR20 and if you have the memory to load it, it will run from inside. Other features have been added as convenience such as the ability to Exit back to procomm or even Quit to DOS, from within the menus. Also, added to D.CMD is the option to connect to The Net Exchange directly. Many various modifications have been made to make this the best. Use and enjoy! ***************** PLEASE READ THIS If you are currently using ICPR11, I have good news IF YOU ALREADY for you! You can utilize those old scripts made by ARE USING ICPR11 ICPR11 with ICPR20. You'll have to use the convert ***************** program included with the package. Put ICPR20.COM and CNVRT.COM into your Procomm directory or on your command files disk. Then run CNVRT.COM by typing CNVRT. It will traverse thru the directory/disk and convert D.CMD and the step files to a form readable by ICPR20. THIS DOES NOT MAKE USABLE SCRIPT FILES! What it does is merely make the files readable to ICPR20. You will still have to go and run the MAKED and MAKESTEP submenu programs for each area code. The convert utility merely allows you to retrieve all of the old area codes and bbs numbers into the new scripts without having to type them all in again. After running CNVRT you can delete it. It's job is done and you don't need it anymore.
