BobTerm has bee'}n fully tested under MYDOS, SpartaDOS, SpartaDOS X, TopDos, and Atari DOS 2, along with many others. BobTerm (}supports XModem, XModem-CRC, 1K-XModem, CIS Fast XModem, YModem (batch) and FModem (batch) protocols. Also supported are f)}loating buffer size (depending on your machine and DOS), a chat window with recall, online/real-time clock, RTime8 suppor*}t, a dialing system, full DOS support, the ability to load modules for additional features (such as XEP80 and SpartaDOS c+}ommand line support), both RS232 ports on the 850 and P:R:, and much more! SETTING UP BOBTERM BobTerm i,}s compatible with all known RS-232 interfaces, and most direct-connect modems. If your modem is connected to a Black Box o-}r MIO, no set-up is necessary. If you are using an 850 interface or P:R: Connection, BobTerm will automatically load the.} handler from the interface; no disk handler should be used. When using any other type of interface or direct-connect mo/}dem, a disk-based handler is necessary. Handlers have been provided for the Atari 835/1030/XM301 modems, and the Supra/MPP0} 1000x modems. Also included is a generic R:Verter handler. This is to be used with the Atari SX-212 modem connected wi1}th the SIO port, with the Supra 1200 baud modem (using the SupraVerter), and any modem connected through a R:Verter or si2}milar interface. To use a disk-based handler, rename it to "RS232.COM," and place it in your "default directory," which is3} drive 1 for most DOSes. To create a BobTerm boot disk, boot up your DOS and format a blank disk. Write DOS 4}files to that disk. Now copy the BOBTERM.COM file to this disk, and rename it to AUTORUN.SYS. If you need a modem handler5}, copy the appropriate file (XM.COM for 835/1030/XM301 modems, MPP.COM for the Supra/MPP 1000x, etc.) to this disk, and r6}ename it to RS232.COM. Users of the Black Box, MIO, 850, or P:R: connections do not need and should not have a RS232.COM 7}file, since the handlers for those interfaces are built-in. Your BobTerm boot disk has now been created. If you want to u8}se any of the module programs for BobTerm, they should be placed on this disk as well. See the section entitled MODULES 9}for more information. BobTerm loads a default dialing list when it first boots (D:BOBTERM.PH1), so after adding all the :}entries to your dialing list, save it to this disk. BobTerm looks to the "default" drive for all support files, s;}o MYDOS and SpartaDOS X users can place all files for the term in a separate subdirectory for convenienc<}e. All other DOSes will look to drive 1 for these files, which is why it is a good idea to make up a boot disk as descri=}bed above. BobTerm loads right from DOS as a binary file. Use the [L]oad BobTer>}m 1.2 Docs Page 2 Binary File option of your DOS menu, or consult your DOS manual for the correct command. Intern?}al BASIC will be automatically disabled, but no language cartridges should be present. Use the 'X' command to load the t@}erm from the SpartaDOS X command line. HELP MENU FUNCTIONS Modem Parameters A} Note: Unless otherwise stated, the command within the [] brackets is the character typed to toggle the command parametersB}. [A] TRANSLATION AND PARITY Changes your translation between ASCII, ATARI, VT-52E and VT-52O. ASCII is thC}e universal text standard, and should be used on most national telecommunications networks, and non-Atari 8 bit Bulletin BoD}ards (When in doubt, use ASCII). ATARI is the Atari-specific ATASCII text mode only usable on boards which support it (tE}ypically, only Atari 8 Bit Bulletin Boards). The two VT-52 modes provide the basic ASCII translation plus many of the exF}tended cursor control commands provided in the DEC VT-52 terminal. BobTerm's VT-52 mode is designed to also emulate CompuSeG}rve's VIDTEX mode. VIDTEX is used in some of the online games available on CIS. It does not support graphics; only cursoH}r positioning. When using VIDTEX on CIS, do a "GO TERMINAL" and set your page length to 23 and columns to 40. I}The VT-52 mode also supports some of the Atari ST-specific subset of commands, for further compatibility. ParitJ}y is determined by the translation mode. BobTerm does not check incoming parity; it is only generated. The Parity of ASCIK}I mode is None; in VT-52E it is Even, and in VT-52O it is Odd. Parity is non-existent in ATARI translation. L}The translation and parity may also be changed while in terminal mode by pressing Shift Control F. [B] BAUD RATE M} Baud rate is the speed at which your modem and the other system's modem can receive information. Rates supported arN}e from 300 baud to 19.2K BAUD, but of course you cannot go any higher than your modem is capable. Note that some modem inO}terfaces (namely the 850 and P:R: Connection) will not support 19.2K BAUD. Baud rates like 9600 and 19.2K are used mostly P}for "null-modem" transfers, where you hook up the output of your RS-232 interface to another computer's RS-232 port, throQ}ugh a special cable or adaptor. [D] DUPLEX Duplex controls how characters appear on your screen, that is,R} whether they are put on your screen by the terminal program, or echoed back BobTerm 1.2 DoS}cs Page 3 from the host computer. Full Duplex means that the characters are echoed from the host. Half Duplex meT}ans the characters are sent from your keyboard to the screen. Full Duplex is used on most all BBSes and online services U}(except GEnie), so unless otherwise stated, try Full Duplex first. If you can not see what you are typing, go into Half DupV}lex. The duplex improperly set to Half will be characterized by seeing double of each character you type. BobTerm also W}supports "Echoplex". This is enabled by holding [START] while pressing [D]. This will cause everything to be reflected,X} just as a BBS does. Echoplex is handy for answering a call, when the other person is in full duplex. Remember to switch Y}into echo mode ONLY after connecting, and out of it after disconnecting. You may change the duplex while in terZ}m mode by pressing Shift Control D. Dialing Commands [E] DIALING MENU [} Provides you with various lists from which you pick the phone number(s) you wish to call. See "The Autodialer and Entrie\}s" below. [F] ORIGINATE Allows your terminal program and modem to connect to another modem sending a carri]}er. An example of this is if you originally connected using a voice line, then wished to use your modem. Use this command^} to connect to a BBS if you are dialing manually (with a telephone). [G] SEND CARRIER Known on other termi_}nal programs as "ANSWER MODE," this will send an answering carrier to the other computer. If connecting to another person`} also using a term, one should Originate, and the other should "Answer," or send carrier. [H] HANG UP Thia}s will disconnect your modem from the telephone line. BobTerm first drops the DTR line; if it sees that a carrier is stillb} present, it will send a +++, wait, then ATH. This should take care most all modem configurations. The online timer wilc}l stop. The timer will restart when dialing manually, or if Shift Control T is pressed. d} System Commands [C] CAPTURE BUFFER The "Capture Buffer" is a feature that lets you record whatever youe} are receiving. If there is a special message or something you want to save, simply enable your capture ahead of time. Wf}hen you type [C], it will ask you for the destination filename. Capture will then be turned on; g} BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 4 characterized by the screen's border color turning red. You may toggle the capturiq}B%DOS SYSB*)DUP SYSBSBOBTERM COMB CP BTMB!DOCS TXTMPP COMREAD ME  RVERTER COMng by pressing [OPTION]. To close the capture (ending it), use this same option. It will ask you "[C]lose Capture, [V]iewr}, or [ESC]?" Press [C], and it will save the buffer to disk. Note that you can also view the contents of the bs}uffer by pressing [V] at this prompt. Use [CONTROL] [1] or the SPACE BAR to pause the listing. You may only view what it}s currently in the buffer; any data that was previously saved cannot directly be viewed. You would have to close the capu}ture, then use the DOS Function of View a File, and look that way. BobTerm's capturing capability is not limited v}to just the buffer size. While you are capturing data, you will see the buffer count on the top status line slowly decrew}ase. When it gets to around 256 bytes left, it will pause the other end, save the buffer to disk, and resume operation. x}This will continue until you temporarily stop capturing (by hitting SELECT), or close the buffer. You cannot change the diy}sk in the drive to which you are capturing until the capture is closed. You may also start capturing by simply z}pressing [OPTION] (without first setting it up). When the buffer fills, it will prompt you for the destination filename.{} If you want to cancel the save, simply press [ESC]. Note that the destination capture name usually is a disk filename, bu|}t you could use "P:", sending it to your printer directly. If you want to erase the buffer (say you turned on c}}apture, but you really don't want to save it), you can clear the buffer by selecting [C]. Hit [C] again to select Close, ~}and press [ESC] at the filename prompt. Now hit [ESC] again to return to terminal mode. [Q] QUIT TO DOS T}his will exit to DOS WITHOUT dropping carrier, allowing you to copy files, run other programs, such as ARC or UNARC, all wi}thout hanging up! To return to online, just reload BOBTERM (you may need to change translation, baud rate and duplex). I}f capturing was enabled, it will be saved before exiting. BobTerm will NOT perform the BOOTUP.BTM modem initialization f}unction if it sees that you are re-entering BobTerm, so no junk data will be sent if you reload the term while the modem is} online. BobTerm now will 'unlink' any modem handler that it loaded, resetting LOMEM to whatever it was prior t}o entering the term. For this reason it is best to let BobTerm load any disk-based modem handler itself. This un-linking} should 'clean up' memory usage, thus increasing compatibility. [R] RECEIVE FILE Use this when Downloadin}g, or receiving a file or files from the host computer using a transfer protocol of XModem, XModem-CRC, 1K-Xmodem, YModem}, CIS Fast XModem, and FModem. See below for "Send and Receive files explained". [S] SEND FILE } BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 5 This is the entry point for Uploading, or sending files TO the host co}mputer. In addition to the protocols listed above, you may also do a simple text upload (the exact opposite of capturing).} See below for "Send and Receive files explained." [J] SYSTEM CONFIGURATION This sets your bootup termin}al and system defaults, as well as macro editing. See "[J] System Configuration" below. [K] DOS FUNCTIONS } This takes you to a menu which supports the most common DOS functions. Use them just as you would from your DOS menu. No}te that the subdirectory commands may not be supported in your DOS (they work under MYDOS and SpartaDOS). The letters ch}osen for the DOS function commands are those of DOS 2.X / MYDOS menu options, so they should be easy to memorize. These a}re the options: [A] View a File: Allows you to view text files. Use [CONTROL] [1] or the SPACE BAR to pau}se, and [ESC] to quit. [B] Set Directory: Used to set a working directory under a DOS that supports subdirect}ories. [C] Copy a single File: This option is handy when copying a file from your RAMdisk to a floppy, or vic}e versa. Remember it can only copy one file at a time. The first filename entered should be the source.} It may contain wildcards; the first file found will be the one copied. The second filename entered wil}l be the destination name. Do NOT use wildcards on the destination. [D] Delete a File: Asks for a filename.} [E] Rename File: Format is: OLDNAME.EXT,NEWNAME.EXT Remember to type both names on the same line. [F]} Lock a File: Asks for a filename. [G] Unlock a File: Asks for a filename. [H] Load a File: Use this to load the }Sparta XINIT file to format disks. This may also be used in the future to load utility programs for BobT}erm. Do NOT use this function with TOPDOS. [I] Format Disk: Prompts for device number to format. It } will format under the current DOS. SpartaDos X users are taken to the SDX format menu. This will format a disk} in DOS 2 format if using disk-based SpartaDOS. [J] Create Directory: Creates a new subdirectory under a DOS }that supports them. [1-9] DISK DIRECTORIES Pressing the appropriate disk device number will pro}mpt you for a "PATH NAME or RETURN". Simply pressing [RETURN] will display the main directory of the drive. If your DOS} supports subdirectories, you may enter the subdirectory name, followed by a [>]. If you wanted to look at all } BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 6 files ending with .BAS, you could enter "*.BAS". This function pauses} at each page: pressing [RETURN] will continue, [ESC] will abort. [J] System Configuratio}n This area allows to set such things as macros, screen colors, modem port, etc., and optionally save them so t}hat they will be loaded each time you use BobTerm. There are two sub-menus that you encounter when you select this optio}n. The first sub-menu allows you to select from: [1] EDIT MACROS, ETC.: Takes you to the second menu area. [2] RELOAD} DEFAULT PARAMETERS: Lets you reload the way BobTerm was set up by your BOBTERM.CNF file. [3] SAVE DEFAULT PARAMETER}S: Saves your settings to a file called BOBTERM.CNF on the DEFAULT drive. The second sub-menu is entered b}y pressing the [1] key above. This menu is the one that actually allows you to edit your macros, screen colors, and mode}m port. To modify your screen colors, use the arrow keys (without holding CONTROL) until the screen color and i}ntensity is pleasing to you. BobTerm supports a total of 16 macros. A macro is a series of keys which, when pr}essed, will send out a pre-defined message. The macros in BobTerm are grouped by size and type of access. The macros may }be chained together, allowing a very large string to be sent. [A]-[H] Allows you to set the "Large Macros" of B}obTerm. These macros may be up to 31 characters long. Large Macros are accessed by pressing the SHIFT, CONTROL, and a n}umber key (from 1 to 8) all at the same time. (In these docs, holding SHIFT and CONTROL while typing another character w}ill be referred to as 'SHIFT CONTROL x', where x is the character.) To define a large macro, just press the letter from A-}H and type in the macro that you wish to store. Note that you can use the standard Atari editing keys; use [SHIFT] [DELE}TE] to clear out whatever is on the line. Press [RETURN] when you are finished entering the macro text. One special note} about Large Macros A, B, and C: These macros are updated by the dialing list. Any macros set by your BOBTERM.CNF file wil}l be over-written by the dialing list, if used. You may, however, reload the defaults AFTER dialing, and restore these t}hree macros. [I]-[P] Allows you to define the "Small Macros" of BobTerm. These macros are limited to 15 charac}ters and are accessed by pressing the CONTROL and a number key (from 3 to 0) at the same time. Entering these macros is }the same as the Large Macros. [Q]-[U] Allows you to define five special one character macros that are controlle}d by the joystick in port #1 of the computer. Typical uses for this would be the CONTROL-S or CONTROL-Q character to stop }and start text flow on most BBSes. To execute these macros, simply move the joystick or press the fire button. } BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 7 SPECIAL MACRO CHARACTERS There are five "special" cha}racters that may be included in the Large and Small Macros. These are: CONTROL-P will cause a 3 second delay in t}he sending of the macro, then resume. You may stack as many of these characters as you need.} CONTROL-D will cause a 1/2 second delay. This is useful when sending the "HHH" string necessary fo}r GEnie. CONTROL-, (little heart) will cause the macro to execute as normal, but it will NOT send a }RETURN at the end of it. (Normally a RETURN is sent at the end.) CONTROL-M will send a RETURN, but }still continue with the rest of the macro. CONTROL-N will cause the macro to link to chain to the ne}xt macro in line. The Shift Control 8 macro will chain to the Control 3 macro. The Control }N should be the last character in the string. Note that a RETURN is not sent when chaining, }so a Control M may be needed. An example of using the special macro characters might be to call a BBS, send a R}ETURN, wait, send your name, wait, then send your password. This would be coded in a macro as: ^M^P^Pmy name^M^P^P}password (note that the ^P means CONTROL-P, and ^M means CONTROL-M.) One of the features of the Dialer is th}e ability to send a macro upon connection. Here's an example of a macro for automatic logon onto GEnie: ^Ph^Dh^}Dh^Puserid,password For CompuServe, try something like this: ^P^C^P70000,1000\password (replacing 70000},1000 with your PPN) If you are using an Atari 850 or P:R: Connection, BobTerm will let you use serial port }#2. This is useful when null-modeming between the Atari and other machines, because you can leave your null-modem cable }connected to port #2, and your modem to port #1. No cable swapping is need now! Pressing [V] in this config menu will alt}ernate between ports 1 and 2. This has no effect if you are not using an 850 or P:R:. Many other parameters of} the term are saved in the configuration file. It is best to run through all functions of the term before saving the con}fig, since for many functions, it 'learns' as you are using it. BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 8} If you want to restore your saved defaults, use the Reload Default Parameters option of the System Configura}tion sub-menu. Note that config files from previous versions of BobTerm are NOT compatible with this new version, and sh}ould be erased.

This choice is based on what the ot}her computer or system supports, and your Baud rate. XMODEM is recommended for 300 baud, 1K XMODEM or YMODEM for higher }rates. When in doubt, try standard XMODEM, since almost all hosts support this. The choices you have and a brief desc}ription of each are: [1] STANDARD XMODEM This is a 128 byte block size with a mathematical checksum for erro}r detection and correction. It is supported by almost all BBSes and telecommunications networks. [2] XMODEM-CRC } A 128 byte block size with a Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC) for error detection and correction. This protocol i}s supported by the vast BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 9 majority of BBSes and telecommunica}tions networks. Whenever possible, you should use XModem-CRC over Standard XModem because the CRC option will catch almo}st all errors. [3] CIS FAST XMODEM This is a BobTerm exclusive: when uploading or downloading from CompuServe, us}e this protocol; yet tell CIS that you are using XModem. This modification to the XModem protocol dramatically increases t}he transfer speed for the CIS host, but should only be used on a noise-free line. In some instances, it is actually fast}er than CIS Quick B! This protocol should be used ONLY on CIS, as it will not work correctly on any other system. [}4] 1K-XMODEM This protocol is basically XModem-CRC with a 1K (1024 bytes) block size. The advantage to 1K XModem is th}at there are fewer "header" bytes sent per file, therefore, making 1K-XModem about 15% faster than XModem-CRC. Note that} some systems incorrectly call this "YModem"; the difference being YModem is 1k XModem with batch capabilities. [5] YM}ODEM (batch) YModem is a modified 1K-XModem that allows the transfer of multiple files at one time. The file name and} size are sent in a header block that BobTerm decodes for you. This way, you can set up a transfer of as many files as y}ou like, and the filenames will be automatically taken from the sender. You only set up the transfer once, and there are n}o limits (except your disk space) to the number of files you can receive! [6] FMODEM This protocol is used on som}e ST BBS programs and in the Puff BBS. It is basically YModem with a 4K block size. Note that this protocol is also cap}able of batch file transfers, as is YMODEM. This is best used for null-modem transfers, because it gives the highest throu}ghput of all protocols. [7] SEND ASCII (XON/XOFF) This is a send ONLY protocol (use "Capture Buffer" to receive) }that simply dumps ASCII text to the other computer. Since this is not an actual protocol, there is no error checking tha}t can be done. Use this to upload messages while in the BBSes message editor, etc... You can specify a delay rate of 0 }through 9; 0 is no delay, and 9 is the largest. A value of 3 should be sufficient for most purposes. XON/XOFF control is }supported (^S to pause, ^Q to resume). The Send Ascii function 'expands blank lines'. Some message editors r}eformat the text you enter, and can remove the formatting you entered. By inserting a SPACE character between successive R}ETURN characters, your original formatting is preserved, yet without affecting the rest of the text. } BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 10 HOW TO SEND/RECEIVE FILES For tran}sfers using XMODEM, XMODEM-CRC, CIS FAST XMODEM, and 1K-XMODEM, the following applies: R}ECEIVE or DOWNLOAD 1. Instruct the host to send (download) a file with the appropriate protocol. 2. Press [R] fro}m the BobTerm main menu. 3. Select the appropriate protocol on BobTerm. 4. Type the entire filename for the file, as you }want it to appear on your disk, and press [RETURN]. You will be returned then to terminal mode. 5. Press [SELECT]} to begin the transfer. SEND or UPLOAD 1. Instruct the host to receive (upload) a f}ile with the appropriate protocol. 2. Press [S] from the BobTerm main menu. 3. Select the appropriate protocol on Bo}bTerm. 4. Enter the source filemask and filename, if you know what it is. If not, you can enter "*.*". Bobterm will} prompt you for each file it finds. Type [Y] to send that file, [N] to keep looking, or [ESC] to re-enter the sourc}e filemask. Once you have selected a file, you will be returned to terminal mode. 5. Press [SELECT] to begin the} transfer. For transfers using YMODEM and FMODEM protocols, the following applies: } RECEIVE or DOWNLOAD 1. Instruct the host to send a file in the appropriate protocol. For batch transfers, see the }host documentation for how to specify more than one file. Most often it is done by "marking" the files you want to} download, then issuing the command to download. 2. Press [R] from the BobTerm main menu. 3. Select the appropriate }protocol on BobTerm. 4. Provide the device name, and path name ONLY. BobTerm will take care of the filenames. (An ex}ample of a pathname is "D1:" or "D2:DLS>".) You will be returned then to terminal mode. 5. Press [SELECT] to beg}in the transfer. SEND or UPLOAD 1. Instruct the host to receive a file in the appro}priate protocol. For batch transfers, see the host documentation for how to BobTerm 1.2} Docs Page 11 specify more than one file. Batch sending is rarely used on a BBS; it is meant more for term-}to-term communications. 2. Press [S] from the BobTerm main menu. 3. Select the appropriate protocol on BobTerm. 4. Prov}ide the pathname (and filename, if known) for the files that you wish to send, one at a time. If you used wildcards, } BobTerm will display each file found and query you if you wish to send it. Press [Y] to add it to the list, [N] } to skip it, or [ESC] to enter a new pathname. Pressing [A] will mark all the remaining files in the subdirectory and m}ask entered. Depending on the size of your path and filenames, you may be able to mark up to 100 or more files to b}e sent all at once! Note that the memory used to hold the dialing list is used for this list of files, so you will} have to reload the dialing list to dial a new number. To end entering filenames, simply press [RETURN] at the "En}ter filemask" prompt. You will be returned to terminal mode. 5. Press [SELECT] to begin the transfer. The fol }lowing applies to ASCII sends: 1. Instruct the host to receive ASCII text. 2. Press [S] from the BobTerm menu. 3. Se }lect item 7 for SEND ASCII. 4. Provide path and filename to send. 5. Provide a delay rate. The delay rate determines the } time between each character sent. You will need to experiment with different BBSes and telecommunications service }s to determine what the delay rate should be. A delay of 0 is none, 9 is the greatest. A value of 3 usually words } ok for most BBS message editors. You will then be returned to terminal mode. 6. Press [SELECT] to begin the tra}nsfer. FEATURES COMMON TO ALL TRANSFERS BobTerm is the ONLY 8 bit terminal to remove the excess double- } padding added to files by the online services. The timing used in the protocols should be loose enough for any system, ye}t tight enough to maintain fast transfers. To abort any transfer, hold down the [START] key. To retry an abo}rted transfer, press [SELECT]. This will try the exact same transfer again. Note: if the transfer aborted because of an e}rror on your end (like a wrong protocol, disk error, etc...) that has not been corrected, the transfer will simply abort }again. Once you begin a transfer, the top three lines of the screen will display the transfer status. Any bad }bytes rejected by the protocol will be displayed below the status lines on the main term screen. The top line of the fil}e transfer window displays the file name including path, followed by the file size in bytes (for batch receives only). The} line under that BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 12 shows the status of the transfer, the blo}ck number being transferred, and the number of tries for the current block. The only time you will not see this display }is when you are doing an ASCII send (you will stay in term mode for ASCII sends). If the transfer is aborted be}cause of a disk error on your end, the transfer will first abort, then the disk error message will be displayed. Press [R}ETURN] twice to return to terminal mode. If the transfer was aborted from the other side or timed out, you will be returne}d to term mode, and the top status line will display "Xfer Aborted!". Holding [SHIFT] when entering the protocol} number will select the ASCII <-> ATASCII translation mode. This is used for text files only! When sending files, ATASCI}I files will be converted to ASCII format (CR/LF). When receiving, ASCII will be converted back to ATASCII (CR, CR/LF, o}r just LF). This allows you to let BobTerm handle the translations so you do not have run separate translation programs! }Just be sure you don't accidentally enable the translation on a file that is NOT a text file, else your file will be corr }upted. When receiving files, BobTerm will automatically adapt to the sender's protocol, so selection is not cri!}tical. The CIS Fast XModem protocol is designed to cause CompuServe to 'send ahead' of itself. Error checking "}is still performed, but on downloads any error will cause the transfer to abort. Thus if you have a noisy line, it would#} be better to use one of the other protocols. CompuServe now supports the XModem 1k protocol, although it is not$} listed on the menu choices. If you are connected at 1200 baud or higher, I suggest using this protocol WHEN DOWNLOADING.%} (For uploads, tell CIS you're using standard XModem.) Use "DOW PRO:X1K" at the disposition prompt. Now select the Fas&}t CIS XModem protocol on BobTerm, and start the transfer. This is extremely fast, giving the highest throughput possible.'} Setting up BOOTUP.BTM Some Hayes-compatible modems default to some parameters(} that are not what you want for standard terminal use. For this reason, BobTerm will send whatever is in a file called B)}OOTUP.BTM on the default drive (drive 1 for most users) to the modem at the default baud rate, when the term first loads.*} (Note: the term will send this only once - if you quit to DOS and reload the program again without rebooting, it will NOT+} send it again.) It will input a line, send it to the modem, wait 1 second, then input again, etc., until it reaches the,} end of file. A control M is not needed at the end of each line. My suggestion might be to have something like this in -}your BOOTUP.BTM file: ATX3 V1 L2 M1 E1 S7=30 &C1 &D2 You could change S registers to perhaps increase dial.}ing speed, etc. Remember it is not necessary to have this file present; it's just there in case you have need of it./} BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 13 Keyboard Command Summary 0} CONTROL 3-0: 15 byte macros. SHIFT CONTROL: 1-8: 31 byte macros (1-3 are the ones the Dialer updates) Q: Re1}calls last two chat buffers (alternates between the 3). W: Toggle word wrap, E: Toggle the chat window in and out. R: R2}eset the online time counter. T: Start/stop the online time counter. Y: Swap the online counter/real time on the top stat3}us line. O: Takes a snapshot of the term screen, and saves it in the buffer. P: Does a screen dump of the term mode scree4}n to your printer, replacing any non-printable characters with a period. M: Toggle left margin between 0 and 2. S: T5}oggles fine scrolling. Note that a slower scroll is used for 300 baud than at higher baud rates.. 9: Toggles the key 6}click sound. When Word wrap is enabled, words will not be split if the text you are reading is formatted for so7}mething over 40 columns. This has no effect on captures; it simply makes reading text a little easier, especially if the8} text is formatted for 80 columns. BobTerm also accounts for backspacing in word wrap; so if it is enabled and you are typ9}ing a message, you can backspace to the previous line without fear of deleting too many characters, as is the case with o:}ther term programs. Word Wrap is toggled by pressing Shift Control W, and its status is seen by the first character in t;}he top status line. You may change the left margin to 2 (incase your TV has overscan) by pressing Shift Control<} M. Note that this does NOT affect the edit window; the edit window remains in 40 columns. Fine scrolling, whe=}n enabled, causes the screen to smoothly scroll vertically when the cursor is at the bottom of the screen. The disadvant>}age is quite a bit of time is taken to perform the scroll. At 1200 baud and higher, a faster scroll is used, but data may ?}still be lost if it contains many RETURN characters in a row. It is best used for conferencing, or any situation where d@}ata is not sent at 'full speed'. [E] The Autodialer and Entries Pressing [E] from A}the BobTerm main menu will take you to the Dialing Menu. The dialing menu has a number of choices as follows: [A] ADDB} AN ENTRY This option allows you to add a telephone number to your dialing menu. You will be prompted for the C}name of the entry, the telephone BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 14 number, 3 macros (See secD}tion on System Configuration), the Baud Rate, the Translation, the Duplex, and the wait (amount of time to wait for the othE}er computer to answer - should be 25-30 for average local calls). You may also cause the dialer to send the first macro F}upon connection by setting the last parameter to Yes. If you use this feature, it is recommended that the first characteG}r of the macro be a Control P for a pause. [D] DIAL TAGGED This option will continuously scan the "tagged" eH}ntries looking for a terminal connection. To tag an entry, use the arrow keys to move to the entry, and press the SPACE I}BAR to tag it. You will see a ">" in front of each tagged entry. To clear the tag, press the SPACE BAR again. [K] KIJ}LL AN ENTRY To delete an entry from your phone list, use the arrow keys to move to the entry, and press [K]. K} [M] MANUAL DIAL By pressing [M], you may enter a phone number to dial from the keyboard. Note, the current L}system configuration will be used for this number (ie: baud rate, translation), and a wait time of 45 seconds will be useM}d. [S] SAVE LIST This option will save your phone list to disk. You will be prompted for a device and filN}ename, or you may use the last name used (by simply pressing [RETURN]). [V] VIEW ENTRY This option will alO}low you to just look at the entry. [X] LONG DISTANCE CODE This is the code that is used by long distance diaP}ling services such as MCI, Sprint, etc... Although it is not needed much anymore because of "equal access," some long diQ}stance telcos still have special numbers to call and require a special code. Use this feature for those cases. To execuR}te the long distance code, simply insert an exclamation point (!) in the phone number at the appropriate place (normally inS} the very beginning). When you enter your long distance code from the dialing menu, it is saved as part of your configuraT}tion file. For example: LD code: 950-1111,,,,123456781 Dial: !716-247-8355 would do the following: DiU}al 950-1111, wait 4 seconds, dial 123456781 (your LD code would be here), followed by 716-247-8355. V} BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 15 If you are using a Long Distance service that requires you to enter yW}our special code after the number being dialed, insert a $ symbol in the LDX code where the number to be dialed should be pX}ositioned. This will cause the remainder of the phone number to be inserted in place of the $ symbol. For example: Y} LD Code: 950-0111,,,,1$12345678 Dial: !716-247-8355 would do the following: Dial 950-0111, wait, dial 1, tZ}hen 716-247-8355, then 12345678 (your LD code). Another use for the LD code is for those who have call waiting.[} Insert an [!] before every number in your list, and make the LD code be the numbers you have to dial to disable the call\} waiting feature. If you ever want to dial the number without disabling the call waiting, simply erase the LD code. ]} [C] CLEAR LIST This will erase the current list from memory. [E] EDIT ENTRY This option allows ^}you to make changes to any of the entries in the dialing menu. First, select the entry to edit (by using the arrow keys),_} then hit [E]. Each item will be available for editing; press [RETURN] when done, or [ESC] to exit. [L] LOAD LIST `} Use this to load a new phone list from your disk. This may be used to load something other than the default (if a}you have more than 1 list), or if you have batch sent some files (since the batch send function will wipe out the list inb} memory). [P] TONE/PULSE Pressing this key toggles the dialing mode between Pulse and Touch-Tone. Pulse dc}ialing may be used on most any telephone line, but tone dialing is usually an extra feature. Wheen using Pulse mode, you md}ay need to increase the Wait time, since the timer starts the minute dialing is initiated, and pulse dialing can be slow.e} [ESC] Exits back to the main BobTerm menu. [RETURN] Dials the entry highlighted. (Use thef} arrow keys to move the bar to BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 16 the desired entry.) g} To interrupt the dialing process at any time, press the SPACE BAR. Any messages from the modem will be displayed onh} the status line in the middle of the screen (BUSY, NO DIALTONE, etc...). If NO CARRIER is returned, then "Operation Aboi}rted" will be displayed. The term will keep re-dialing until it either connects, or is interrupted by a SPACE BAR. Pressj}ing RETURN will enter terminal mode immediately. The Terminal Mode Status Line Whk}ile in terminal mode, the upper line of your screen is being used as follows: WRAP:DUPLEX:TRANSLATION:BAUD RATE:BUl}FFER TOTAL:ONLINE/REAL-TIME CLOCK The second line in the header is the changing status, which tells you if therm}e are transfers pending, errors have occurred, etc... Miscellaneous Notes Onn}e of the unique features of BobTerm is its multi-tasking. You are ALWAYS in term mode; that is, any modem input is being po}rinted to the term screen, even if you are not viewing that screen. The only exceptions to this are disk I/O and file trp}ansfer. You can be capturing, go do a disk directory, edit macros, and come back to term mode all without losing any datq}a (assuming the other end supports XON/XOFF)! Another feature is the extremely fast text screen handler. Term r}mode can keep up with text at 19.2K baud, even while capturing! When BobTerm expects input from the user, [RETURNs}] will accept whatever is on the screen, and [ESC] will abort. On any filename or other line-input needed, you can use tt}he standard Atari cursor control to edit. To delete the entire line, press [SHIFT] [DELETE/BACK SPACE]. The ediu}t window is another unique feature. Used mostly for the "conference" section on the online services, this buffer is actualv}ly 3 buffers in one. When you press SHIFT CONTROL E, you will see three lines at the bottom. You may now type away in tw}he buffer. Nothing will be sent out until you hit [RETURN]; then the whole buffer will be dumped. The only exception tox} this is control characters: they will be sent immediately, so that you can send a ^S to pause the sender, etc. By pressiny}g SHIFT CONTROL Q, BobTerm will cycle through the last two "buffers" you typed and the current one. Once you press [RETUz}RN], the current buffer gets copied into buffer 2, buffer 2 into 3, and buffer 1 is cleared. If you type [ESC] then pres{}s [RETURN], the data in the window up to the ESC will be sent, with no RETURN after it. Another feature that mi|}ght come in handy is the buffer screen command. Let's say you are on a BBS, and you're viewing a file that you }} BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 17 just decided you want to capture, yet you don't have the capture turn~}ed on. Simply press [OPTION], then press SHIFT CONTROL O. That last keypress will take a "snapshot" of the screen, placi}ng it in the buffer. Pressing [OPTION] turned the buffer on, so now you will have saved everything that was on your scre}en, plus everything that will be coming, till you disable the capture (by hitting [OPTION] again). When you [C]lose the ca}pture or if the buffer fills, you will be prompted for the filename to save the buffer. In the ASCII and VT-5}2 translation modes, there are some characters displayed a little differently on the term screen. The Atari 8-bit does n}ot have the curly brace characters, or the tilde. The curly braces are translated to Control A and Control D characters. }To send the braces, simply type Control A for open brace, and Control D for close brace. The Tilde is translated to a ca}rat symbol (^). The $7F Ascii character is absorbed, since GEnie uses this in various places for no apparent reason. } Modules BobTerm allows the loading of modules to allow for new features to} be added to the program without having to come out with special versions. Two modules have been included with this versio}ns: a XEP-80 driver, and a SpartaDOS command processor interface. When the term first loads, it looks on the de}fault drive for MODULE1.BTM. If it finds this module, it will continue and look for MODULE2.BTM, etc., up to MODULE9.BTM}. This is the only reliable way modules should be loaded into BobTerm, although you may have limited success with the LO}AD A FILE option of the DOS functions. It is not necessary to have modules present, but if you do have any, they should be} consecutively named (module1, 2, etc.). Place the modules you wish to use in the same directory/drive as BOB}TERM is located, and RENAME them to MODULEx.BTM, where x is a number between 1 and 9. There is no special number that need}s to be assigned to a given module, only that the modules be sequentially numbered, and start with 1. The fol}lowing is a description of the two modules included with BobTerm 1.21: XEP80.BTM This is a driver for the }XEP-80 80 column box from Atari. The driver directs ONLY the term mode screen to both the XEP and the standard term scre}en. It takes up 256 bytes of buffer space, so you will see your buffer size decrease when it initializes. The driver does} not display any menus or the exit window. The XEP is just too slow to keep re-drawing the term mode screen and help scr}eens, and does not have the capability of scrolling in one window and not in another. This is unfortunate. In }any event, you will need two monitors to see the term mode screen on the XEP, and the help/e}diting BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 18 screens on your computer's output. The XEP driver }will update both screen simultaneously, without blanking the computer's screen. Have your XEP-80 plugged into joystick p}ort #2! The driver makes a valiant attempt at supporting the VT-52 translation. Other terminal types (such as }VT-100, etc. may be partially supported - experimentation is the best advice). All VT-52 commands are supported, but a c}ouple of them take a bit of time for the XEP to perform, and result in lost bytes if the data rate is high. A few of the s}pecial function VIDTEX/VT-52 commands will only affect the XEP's screen, and will not affect the computer's screen. } The XEP can handle 2400 baud and perhaps 4800, but no higher. The VT-52 translation functions perfectly at 300 and }1200 baud, but two of the special commands will cause lost characters at 2400 or higher. CP.BTM This mo}dule is for SpartaDOS users only. It replaces the DOS functions with a command processor interface, so that you have acces}s to DOS while online. Since it replaces the old DOS functions, it takes up no additional memory. You can quit to DOS, }do whatever is necessary, then reload the term to do the same thing, but this is quicker, especially if you are using flo}ppy drives. SpartaDOS 3.2 and SpartaDOS X are the only two versions supported. When you type [K] to g}et to the DOS functions, you will see the familiar Dx: prompt. Operation is basically the same as if you were really in }the DOS's command processor, except that you may not move the cursor to the previous line and edit it. Pressing ESC at the} command line prompt will return you to BobTerm. Most all functions should work here, including COPY, AINIT, CW}D, etc.. You may load XINIT, but do NOT select any DOSes to be written to the disk. BobTerm allows the use of memory fr}om around $51FF down to LOMEM, so as long as programs don't use anything higher than $51FF, everything is safe. } It is best to LOAD COMMAND.COM prior to running BobTerm when using SDX. This eliminates certain memory conflicts with h}andlers, although you can get away without loading COMMAND.COM if you are using a Black Box or MIO. Note that in order t}o keep the screen on in SDX, I had to modify part of DOS in lower memory. There is no reason SDX should have turned the }screen off, but after wasting over a solid week on the problem, I ended up modifying two bytes in the DOS itself. This sho}uld work find for version 4.20; if you have an earlier version, you're on your own - it may or may not work. } Support Shareware BobTerm has taken a fair chunk of my time, but has been very } BobTerm 1.2 Docs Page 19 rewarding. It started out to be just a transfer utility for null-}modeming files between an 8 bit and ST, but it kept growing! This updated version fixes all known bugs with the} earlier versions, as well as adds a few more features, view capture buffer and copy files being the two most requested. } The ZMODEM protocol is something I plan on doing someday, as well as an editor that will allow the capture buffer to be} edited. As it stands, BobTerm 1.21 is coded in very tight machine code. Compare it to other term programs of e}ven larger byte counts that contain not even half of the features. This will probably be the last version of BobTerm for} all 8-bits, due to memory constraints. Any future major modifications will probably be on a version that will only run on} expanded memory machines. There is enough of a userbase of upgraded 800, XL, and XE owners that I feel this will not be} severely limiting the userbase. I sincerely hope SpartaDOS X users appreciate the literal weeks worth of time }spent making the term work so well with this incompatible DOS. Making the CP interface work with the disk version 3.2 of S}parta took time, but making it work with SDX took more than ten times the work. SDX in itself can be flaky, so if you ex}perience random problems and glitches, use another DOS. There have been a few requests of vector tables in BobT}erm, and of writing modules for the term, yet no one has yet come forth with the source code. Due to the multi-tasking e}nvironment, writing code for the term can be very tricky. However, my offer still stands. If anyone has a small utility} that they would like to add into the term, provide me with the ML source code (it must be 100% machine language), and I wi}ll see what can be done. Providing complete technical documentation would require extensive writing, something I unfortu}nately have no time for at the present. I am releasing this program as "shareware," which means this: BobTerm i}s my copyrighted property. I grant you the license to use it and pass it around to your friends, on two conditions: the co}mplete package (term, docs, and modules) are included UNALTERED!, and that the disk may not be sold for more than four US} dollars. If you use the program regularly, consider the time that went into writing such a program, and send a donation} ($15 suggested) to the address listed at the top. If you have any questions/comments, please feel free to drop me a note }on my BBS, CompuServe, or GEnie. Paper mail usually gets a very slow reply. Thank you! Enjoy the term.

When I put together the ARC file for BobTerm 1.20, I included thewrong XEP-80 driver. This re}lease corrects it, plus also fixes a coupleminor bugs found in the new version of the term. Sorry for any inconvenience! } For those of you who hate to read docs, go ahead and load it up. Iwould STRONGLY suggest printing out the docs at some p}oint, because thereare several features that are not apparent. One addition to the docs: The term "Pathname" refers to }everything BEFOREthe actual 11 character filename. For example, in D1:BOBTERM.COM, the "D1:"is the pathname. The prog}ram is named BOBTERM.COM, [L]oad that filename from your DOSmenu. The main documentation for the term is in the file DO}CS.TXT. Simplycopy this file to your printer. The file UPDATE.TXT is a list of thechanges from version 1.10 to this one. } Copy it to your printer. Modem handlers have been provided for the Atari 835/1030/XM301 modems,the Supra/MPP 300 baud }modems, and a generic handler for direct-connectSX-212 modems and various other interfaces. (Its named RVERTER.COM.)Simply }rename the appropriate file to RS232.COM, and the term willautomatically load it for you. No appending is necessary. T}his arc file, when expanded, will not fit on a single density disk.Either use enhanced or double density, or use the "Extrac}t with Query" optionof Super UnArc to extract everything you can fit onto one side, and the rest on another disk. If you o}nly have one drive, then you will need toenable the "Disk Swaps" option as well, so that you can use a separatedisk for the} destination. Enjoy! And remember: If you use BobTerm, consider sending the author anote as well as a token of your ap}preciation.
