Rexx VBBS/2 - M2Zmodem Interface Written By Cunnus ShaktI 1@509509 Vnet - Pete Link @ 1:346/35 Fidonet The Moonflower/2 OS/2 & VBBS Support BBS 3-Lines: 509-891-6148 Introduction: This is a set of rexx command files that will allow the VBBS SysOp to install M2Zmodem.exe under a VBBS/2 system. M2Zmodem is an OS/2 native Z, X, & Ymodem transfer protocol driver that rivals the quality of DSZ for dos. One problem with M2Z however, is the fact that it does not write a DSZ style log file. VBBS uses this log file to figure credit deductions, ratio calculations, CPS rates, & filenames for logging purposes. What the enclosed M2zvbbs.cmd file does is convert the log file that M2Zmodem produces into a dsz style log file. (Don't expect to find the log file though, as it is deleted after each transfer.) Limitations: X & Y Modem is not implemented yet. Zmodem only. Changes from previous version: Added Z-Modem upload capability (Both batch & single file) Installation: 1.Copy the enclosed .cmd files to your main vbbs directory, 2.Edit the 3 lines (FIlein, Fileout and batchlist) near the top of the m2zvbbs.cmd file to reflect your main VBBS directory structure. The Comment lines at the top of the m2zvbbs.cmd file MUST remain as they are in order for it to work... 3.Get a copy of m2zmodem - I have it available at the Moonflower/2 as "M2Z213.ZIP". Phone # 509-891-6148. 4.Unzip M2Z213.ZIP & copy the following files to your VBBS directory: M2Zmodem.exe & M2Zmodem.msg. 5.Make sure you always load VBBS/2 via the enclosed BBS.CMD file like so: bbs 1 (for node 1) bbs 2 (for node 2) etc... The bbs.cmd file (Written By David Bell) sets the DSZ environment variable that will make the whole thing work. 6.Call up Vconfig, Download config, & add the following protocol line: Batch: Key: Name: Command Line: Yes Z (Or your choice) Zmodem m2zvbbs.CMD %8 -ZS %3 7.Call up Vconfig, upload config, & add the following protocol line: Batch: Key: Name: Command Line: Yes Z (Or your choice) Zmodem m2zvbbs.CMD %8 -ZR %9 %3 That's it! It should now work. If not email me & I will try to help. Also, feedback is welcome! See Ya/2! Cunnus ShaktI 1@509509 Vnet.
