AutoDownload Telix Script for CRS   ver 1.01             d/ 09 JUL 91
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
        This SALT Script file continuously redials CRS until a connection
is established. It then opens the file "FILES.DL" (which should contain a
list of files to be downloaded), logs into the IBM conference, and Batch
Downloads the files listed using ZModem. After the download session (or if
disconnected), the script automatically hangs up and exits Telix to DOS.

Setup and customization:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Set the string "user_name" to the name you use to login, ie. :
str user_name[] = "JOHN DORF"; .
        Set the string "number_list" in the script to the numbers of the
CRS entries in your dialling directory. For example, if your dialling 
directory is :     1. CRS1   629-7000
                   2. CRS2   629-7044
set the number_list string to : "str number_list[] = "1 2"; .
        Compile the script by typing "CS CRSADL" - this should generate 
CRSADL.SLC.
        Edit these entries in your dialling directory (if necessary) to 
include your password, and set the default download protocol to ZModem.
        With your favorite editor, create a file called FILES.DL, and 
enter a list of files to be downloaded. This must be a straight ASCII 
text file (ie. Word* or Wordperverse files won't work), with * one * 
filename per line. Each filename must end with a cr/lf, and the file must 
have a "^Z" or EOF terminator (ie. 1Ah) in order to work. The Xtree Pro 
editor works, and so does "copy con FILES.DL". Check the file with DEBUG
or a hex dump utility if you're not sure.
        The file FILES.DL should be in the same (sub)directory as 
TELIX.EXE, and the compiled SALT Script should be in the SALT 
subdirectory specified in the TELIX "Configure Telix/ Filenames and Paths"
menu.

Invocation:
        At the DOS prompt, type "TELIX /SCRSADL", sit back, and watch.

Caveats and cautions:
        This SALT Script file runs under Telix 3.11, but has not been
tested on any others. It has also not been tested on any other BBS's than 
CRS, or any other conferences than the IBM one. There may even be better 
autodownload scripts available on CRS - if you find one, or can improve 
this one, post it on the board.
        This is also my first attempt at SALT programming, ('nuff said).

Ideas ...:
        1. Try running this from a batch file ....
        2. Figure out a way to TURN OFF the computer when TELIX 
           finishes the download ....

Kudos and thanks to "JOHN DORF" and Matthew Silver, who will recognize
their code, and (of course) Colin Sampaleanu & co.
