EMS

Hello Valerij! Answering from area BY.ZXNET.GENERAL Viktor Kuzmin answering to Valerij Kozhevnikov [...] VK> Not much business. Talk to people, you think for them VK> CDOS VK> do you like it or something? Yes, and I’m a party character, everyone loves me VK> know. VK> And the costs are low - a couple of beers per nose. We simply VK> people VK> I’m somehow not very familiar with EMS. I think you heard it, I think VK> we know a VK> no one really knows about the full version. People VK> think VK> supposedly another frivolous program, the full version will be released - VK> and her VK> will be distributed to everyone. The same number of messages were sent through gays... [...] VK> here I’ll add: “and if your computer doesn’t have a disk drive, then VK> turbo driver VK> makes the computer impossible to work." Should I repeat it ten thousand times? - You only have a demo version of EMC!!! She and will not work, unlike the full one!!! AA> It is not the turbo driver that slows down, but the propeller controller. I think it’s neither this nor that, but the fact that I haven’t released the full version YET. [...]AA> Compatible with what? VK> VK> With different computers, with different versions of DOS, etc. VK> I have 5.03Em, someone has 6.06, and someone has 5.01. Yes VK> already and VK> more sophisticated versions. You can guarantee VK> compatibility? In general, I have now earned only 2.5 tanks on EMC (a fan from Bobruisk paid - cool man), if I have a guarantee that I will be credited for the program, then I I will give a guarantee of full compatibility with world standards. I bring current ones: Any type of computer + 128 Kb + Any drive is the minimum. Any type of computer + 128 or more + 5.25 FDD + 3.5 FDD + HDD + Referring to TR-dos optional - turbo etc. or #3d13 + mouse and much more... [...] VK> On _all_ platforms and in _all_ systems, access to VK> dosu VK> "past" standard entry points - a _gross_ violation VK> basics VK> programmer ethics. THE ROUGHEST! There is no system on Spectrum... VK> This is especially unacceptable in frivolous programs and VK> demo versions, VK> which by definition are _obliged_ to work for _everyone_ VK> cars I will explain below why I made a turbocharger. VK> of any configuration, and with _any_ drives. In order VK> attract to VK> has the largest number of potential users. VK> People in St. Petersburg tried EMS and said: “yeah, s VK> not with a screw VK> works, which means it’s not for us.” 200 users VK> lost. And I would think: we need to contact the author and tell him how correct it is work with the screw. VK> Just don’t talk about #2a53, etc. dots VK> all of them VK> are valid only for 5.03/5.04. I saw new VK> firmware, there VK> generally not very similar. If I write turbop. , then only for 5.03 or 5.04 VK> And #3d13 is the generally accepted official _STANDARD_. For me it is incredibly slow and glitchy when positioning. [...] VK> And EMS with a turbo driver? - this is lifelong VG93 + DD/640K. VK> And such a controller is now urgently needed. DD floppy disks VK> long ago VK> are out of production, you can’t even find them in Moscow. About VK> 5'25 i VK> I’m not talking anymore. I won't repeat myself...

Hello All! Here EMS 1.20 (user version) and EMS 2.00 (bbs version) were released. I haven’t seen it myself, but the help for it is quite interesting: === Cut === EMS version 1.20 (bbs options plus) - This time I will not describe all the keys in each menu, but I will give a list of them: CS+5,CS+6,CS+7,CS+8 - cursor CS+9 - mark CS+3 - move from panel to panel CS+1 - lat/rus CS+2 - caps lock CS+SS+letter - display macro CS+SS+digit - activate the option SS+Q - go back one option SS+E - move forward one option SS+W - select option CS+ENTER - reread the disk BREAK - change the panel with buttons SS+ENTER - end connection SS+SPACE - calling sysop CS+SS+ENTER - clear the interlocutor’s screen Double click on the panel - reread the disc Double click on the file - run or view (text/screen) - Now let's move on to the description of Setup Auto view (Text) - when viewing by double click - view with or without line trimming Double Click Delay (005) - sensitivity to double click Floppy driver (Normal) - turboloader or #3d13 Ring-answer delay (080) - pause before raising after arrival call (my modem only detects the beginning of the call, But you have to pick up the phone between calls) Number of requests to ATS (006) - number of requests for ATS Digits in phone number (007) - number of digits in the number Delay before detection (250ms) - pause between raising the pipeand a request to the PBX (for me it costs 250ms, but it’s better for set other PBXs to 100ms) Line sensitivity (006) - line sensitivity Answer sensitivity (015) - sensitivity to PBX response Interdial delay (0600ms) - interdigital pause Pulse period (100ms) - pulse period Tone/Pulse - pulse or tone dialing (if the driver allows) Redial attempts (010) - number of dialing attempts Line check delay (007) - number of requests sent to the BBS when dialing (can be considered as the line polling time when dial) Line volume - volume when listening to a line Redial delay (004sec) pause between calls Number of rings (002) number of missed calls before raising Auto off line (000) - time after which EMC expires will hang up (0 - do not hang up). Time is measured in fictitious units, because it may change in depending on what's on the line. 1 unit = 7-8 seconds. (made at the request of workers) Connect speed adjust (No) - automatic speed adjustment (set The speed at which the interlocutor is driving is determined) Block length control (No) - auto-tuning for block length Attempts before error (015) - maximum number of errors Split file length (256) - block length Log file name - well, this is probably understandable Macros file name Phones file name Driver file name Config file name - file name when sending the setup to a fileKey sound (AY) - sound when pressing a key Call sysop sound (AY) - sound when calling sysop Russian layout - setting up Russian keyboard Key press delay (010) - pause after the first key pressed Key repeat delay (010) - key repeat frequency Panel ink (0) - this and the following options turn the computer into Panel paper (7) - multicolor condition Panel bright (0) Log ink (0) Log paper (7) Log bright (0) View ink (7) View paper (0) View bright (0) Border (0) Post drive (A) mail drive (see below) User list file name - name of the file with the list of users Area list file name - file name with BBS areas Dir patch filename - the name of the file in which it will be stored file information for BBS Editor kbd layout (yaverts) - Russian keyboard layout in ZX-WORD Editor fonr (standart) - font in ZX-WORD - Now about the BBS for the user. All additional commands are implemented using the terminal: .log .con .send When you have just reached, files from the area are available to you Common - only publicly available (here I would advise sysops post information about areas on BBS and BBS users, as well as information about how register on this BBS) .log - log in to the BBS under some name. After the command enter your name, and then separated by a semicolon - password For example: .log Kuzmin Viktor;password After this, the rights that sysop gave you come into force..con - enter an area on a BBS. For example, on BBS there are sections Games, For_sysops, Code.zx You type .con games and download the catalog After this, you can see only those files that belong to this area. If you upload a file to BBS, it will be marked as a file in this area. if you type only .con, you will find yourself in the area common - publicly available. .con post - after typing this option, the area will become available to you personal mail. If you upload a file to the BBS, you will send mail to yourself, but to send mail to a friend you need next option: .send - after this command you need to enter the name of the user to whom you will be downloading mail. For example: .send Kuzmin Viktor - BBS options for sysops: There are three types of files for BBS: Area list - names of disk areas The first line in this file should be the number drive (A,B,C,D - capital letter), which will installed when trying to read/write to area common. If the line is empty, then this area is not tied to the disk drive. Next come the names of the remaining areas with reference to disk drive or not. For example: file AreaList.S A Games A Sysops B Music Rave D It should be noted that Games is the 2nd level, Sysops is 3rd and so on, i.e. The countdown starts from two. User List - user names, their passwords, privileges. The name is written first, then the semicolon (without a space)then the password and a period (without a space). after that, accessible areas are indicated separated by spaces for the user. Level 0 - not available to anyone, so you don't have to specify it. The first level is always available, so you don’t have to indicate it either, but here are the rest levels (which are indicated in the Area List) should be specified For example: file UserList.S Kuzmin Viktor;password. 2 4 5 6 ; 0th user Aukin Sergey;worms. 5 8 10 2 ; 1st user Nozhko Vitaliy;EWS. 2 3 4 5 6 ; 2nd user Francef George;Amiga. 5 8 10 15 ; 3rd user File List - information about files. The file itself is not required operating time of EMS, it is needed to store information during the time when you work with the disk using the commander or boot. Before starting the BBS, install the disk using patch buttons This option will write information to the 9th sector, that this is a BBS disk, and information about the files that will take from File List. After the BBS works, return the disk to its original state using the function unpatch (press the same patch key, EMS will determine that this is a disk). This function will remove the BBS label of the disk and will write all new information about files to a text file File List file. Now about the structure of this file: First there are 8 characters of the file name (no more and no less, also type spaces), then a period, and then extension. Then there is a space and the file status is a number.The number is the number of the area to which the file belongs. If the number is preceded by a small English p (p), then this file is mail to the user with number=number. For example: file FileList.S boot .B 1 ALM .B 1 ReadMe .W 1 UFO2.B 4 ToKVA .W p2 ToRum .W p17 If a file is not in the list, then the file is not available to no one. If a file from the list is not found on disk, then it is simply ignored. If the same file is listed twice in the list, then the first one listed is the first in the catalogue, i.e. the second one indicated lies further on the disk, than the first one. Attention! When using the built-in ZX-WORD, server mode will turn off. This server version can support 126 different areas maximum 127 users.ya. All additional commands are implemented using the terminal: === Cut === I was with you Ars^FTL
