DISK-FER TERMINAL SOFTWARE
|
|||
|
|
WRITTEN BY
|
|||
|
|
THE REDHEADED FREAK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE MAIN POINT OF THIS SOFTWARE IS TO MAKE THE WORLD OF PIRACY A WHOLE
|
|||
|
|
LOT EASIER AND MORE EFFICIENT OF THE COMPUTERS TIME OF DISK-SPACE AND
|
|||
|
|
OF YOUR TIME. YOU NEED NOT BE PRESANT DURING THE X-FER WHICH CAO AND
|
|||
|
|
HAS LASTED UP TO 1 HOUR AND 10 MINUTES. YOU DONT NEED TWO EXTRA DISKS
|
|||
|
|
FOR ANY ]PARTS OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. INSTEAD YOU NEED DISK-FER AND
|
|||
|
|
A BLANK DISK.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OPERATION OF DISK-FER IS AS FOLLOWS. WHEN YOU BOOTUP THE PROGRAM YOU
|
|||
|
|
MIGHT BE CONFRONTED WITH ONE OF MANY THINGS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1)- IT COULD BE IN LOWERCASE (IF YOU CAN'T READ LOWERCASE) IN WHICH
|
|||
|
|
CASE YOU HIT 'F' TO CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2)- THE SLOT COULD BE CONFIGURED WRONG IN WHICH CASE YOU NEED TO HIT
|
|||
|
|
'C' TO CHANGE THE SLOT. IF IT HANGS THE SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF A BAD
|
|||
|
|
SLOT # YOU NEED TO MOD THE PROGRAM BEFORE YOU RUN IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO MAKE THIS MOD FROM THE MONITOR TYPE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*905:N0 (WHERE 'N' IS THE SLOT #)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IF YOUR SLOT # IS 2 THEN THERE SHOULD BE A $20 THERE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3)- IT COMES UP DISK-FER WITH THE RIGHT SLOT AND ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AFTER YOU GET IT CONFIGURED FOR YOUR SYSTEM YOU SHOULD SEE A BUNCH OF
|
|||
|
|
COMMANDS STARING BACK AT YOU!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
P)-
|
|||
|
|
TOGGLES BETWEEN ON HOOK AND OFF HOOK. AN INVERSE PHN ON THE STATUS BAR
|
|||
|
|
WILL BE LIT WHEN THE CAT IS ONLINE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
V)
|
|||
|
|
TOGGLES BETWEEN MODEM AND VOICE MODE. MODEM MODE WILL BE FORCED AT THE
|
|||
|
|
BEGINING OF A X-FER. AND VOICE MODE WILL BE FORCED AT THE MENU.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
C)-
|
|||
|
|
CHANGES THE APPLE-CAT SLOT. AN INTESESTING LITTLE THING THAT HAPPENS
|
|||
|
|
ON MY COMPUTER IS THAT WHEN I CHANGE THE SLOT TO MY PRINTER CARD AND
|
|||
|
|
THE PRINTER IS OFF, THE CARRIER LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF AT THE SAME
|
|||
|
|
RATE AS THE VIDEO CIRCUITRY UPDATES THE SCREEN. LEAVING BROKEN
|
|||
|
|
CHARACTERS ON THE SCREEN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
M)-
|
|||
|
|
TOGGLES BETWEEN ORGINATE AND ANSWER MODE OF THE MODEM. DURING A B)OTH
|
|||
|
|
TRADE THE COMPUTER TO SEND FIRST IS THE ONE THAT IS IN ORGINATE AT THE
|
|||
|
|
START OF THE X-FER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
F)-
|
|||
|
|
RECONFIGURE DISK-FER. THIS COMMAND IS PROMPTED BY A MESSAGE READING
|
|||
|
|
LOWERCASE (Y/N)... QUITE OBVIOUSLY YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION YES OR NO
|
|||
|
|
THEN IT ASKS YOU IF YOU WANT A CONFIGURED COPY SAVED ON DISK. THE
|
|||
|
|
CONFIGURED COPY CONTAINS THE CURRENT PASSWORD OF THE SYSTEM AND THE
|
|||
|
|
CURRENT SLOT OF THE APPLE-CAT. YOUR LOWERCASE STATUS IS ALSO SAVED ON
|
|||
|
|
DISK. THE FILE SAVED ON DISK IS CALLED 'DISK-FER' AND CAN BE BRUN AS
|
|||
|
|
YOUR RUNNING COPY OF THE PROGRAM
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
D)-
|
|||
|
|
DOS COMMAND. THIS OPTION ALLOWS YOU TO ENTER A DOS COMMAND TO BE
|
|||
|
|
PARSED BY THE CURRENT DOS. (ANY DOS COMMAND CAN BE ENTERED)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
E)-
|
|||
|
|
EDIT PASSWORD. THIS OPTION EDITS THE CURRENT PASSWORD OF THE SYSTEM.
|
|||
|
|
YOU MAY ENTER LOWERCASE/CNTRL/NORMAL CHARS TO BE USED AS YOUR
|
|||
|
|
PASSWORD. THE PASSWORD IS USED TO KEEP UNWANTED PEOPLE (SOFTWARE
|
|||
|
|
UNDERGROUND MEMBERS) OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
S)-
|
|||
|
|
R)-
|
|||
|
|
B)-
|
|||
|
|
L)-
|
|||
|
|
K)-
|
|||
|
|
THESE FIVE OPTIONS ARE THE TRANSFER/RECIEVE OPTIONS. I WILL EXPLAIN
|
|||
|
|
HOW USE THEM IN GENERAL THEN IN DETAIL. WHEN YOU SELECT ONE OF THESE
|
|||
|
|
OPTIONS THE COMPUTER COMES UP WITH 'ENTER PASSWORD :' AT THIS POINT
|
|||
|
|
YOU CAN EITHER TYPE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ESC> TO ABORT.... <RET> TO TRANSFER WHEN BOTH APPLES ARE IN 'LOCAL
|
|||
|
|
MODE' (SEE BELOW).... HITTING RETURN WILL JUST JUMP TO THE TRANSFER
|
|||
|
|
ROUTINE THAT YOU CHOSE AT THE MENU.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A TWO CHARACTER PASSWORD ENTERED AT THIS PROMPT PUTS THE APPLE INTO A
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
REMOTE COMPUTER. THIS OPTION IS USED TO CALL UP A 'DISK-FER BBS' WHICH
|
|||
|
|
WILL BE WAITING FOR CALLS TO SEND DISKS, IF OF COURSE THE TWO
|
|||
|
|
PASSWORDS MATCH. THOSE TWO PASSWORDS ARE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE COMPUTER THAT IS THE 'BBS' THE PASSWORD THAT YOU TYPE AFTER THE
|
|||
|
|
COMMAND.
|

|
|
SENDING AND RECEIVING FILES.
|
|||
|
|
------- --- --------- ------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
S)-
|
|||
|
|
SEND THE DISKETTE IN DRIVE ONE. THIS COMMAND MUST BE EXECUTED ALONG
|
|||
|
|
WITH THE 'R' COMMAND.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
R)-
|
|||
|
|
RECEIVE A DISK FROM THE LINES TO DRIVE 1.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
B)-
|
|||
|
|
RECEIVE A DISK AND PUT IT ON DRIVE TWO. AND SEND THE DISKETTE IN DRIVE
|
|||
|
|
TWO. THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS IS DECIDED BY THE ORG/ANS MODE. THE IN
|
|||
|
|
ORG SENDS FIRST.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
L)-
|
|||
|
|
LOP-SIDED SEND. SEND BOTH THE DISKS IN BOTH DRIVES. (NOTE, TO MANY OF
|
|||
|
|
THESE X-FERS WILL CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO SELF-DESTRUCT TO PREVENT YOU
|
|||
|
|
FROM BEING LEACHED UPON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
K)-
|
|||
|
|
LOP-SIDED RECEIVE. RECEIVE DISKS IN BOTH DRIVES. THESE ARE THE BEST
|
|||
|
|
X-FERS THAT THE PROGRAM DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(NOTE: IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT IN UNATTENDED MODE THESE X-FERS WILL
|
|||
|
|
'NEVER' ABORT BY THEMSELVES. THEY WILL JUST KEEP HACKING AWAY UNLESS A
|
|||
|
|
SYNC ERROR OCCURS AND THE RECEIVE SKIPS A BLOCK. THESE ERRORS ARE
|
|||
|
|
POSSIBLE BUT NOT LIKELY. IF THE TRANSFER ENDS ON ITS OWN. THEN YOU CAN
|
|||
|
|
BE 98% SURE THAT THE DISKS HAVE BEEN SENT CORRECTLY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN THE X-FER ENDS BOTH SIDES WILL WAIT FOR YOU TO HIT A KEY. THE
|
|||
|
|
FIRST PERSON TO HIT A KEY WILL BE IN CONTROL OF BOTH COMPUTERS HE/SHE
|
|||
|
|
(WO-MAN'S LIB) WILL BE SENT A SMALL MENU AT 300 BAUD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
B)ELL OR H)ANG UP??
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
YOU CAN EITHER PAGE THE OWNER OF THE COMPUTER WITH THE B)EEP OPTION OR
|
|||
|
|
YOU CAN H)ANG UP THE OTHER COMPUTER SO THAT YOU CAN CALL BACK THIS
|
|||
|
|
MENU IS NICE IF YOUR FREIND WANTS TO GO TO BED WHILE YOU DOWNLOAD THE
|
|||
|
|
PROGRAMS IN HIS DRIVES. YOU CAN HANG UP HIS COMPUTER SO IT WON'T TIE
|
|||
|
|
UP THE LINES ALL NIGHT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AT ANY TIME DURING THIS LITTLE MENU YOU CAN HIT ESCAPE TO ENTER THE
|
|||
|
|
MAIN MENU.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(NOTE: IF YOUR COMPUTER IS IN UNATTENDED MODE IT WILL NOT JUMP TO THIS
|
|||
|
|
MENU. BUT IT WILL GO TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER RING.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
UNATTENDED MODE
|
|||
|
|
---------- ---- THE UNATTENDED MENU IS
|
|||
|
|
REACHED BY HITTING 'U' AND IT IS EXITED BY HITTING 'U' ALSO. IN THIS
|
|||
|
|
MENU THE FONE WILL NEVER BE KEPT OFF HOOK FOR MORE THAN A SECOND. WHEN
|
|||
|
|
YOU HIT ONE OF THE FIVE SEND/RECEIVE COMMANDS THE COMPUTERCOMES UP:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
'WAITING FOR RING...'
|
|||
|
|
XX (XX IS YOUR CURRENT PASSWORD)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN THE COMPUTER RECEIVES A RING OR YOU HIT '+' IT WILL WAIT 8
|
|||
|
|
SECONDSFOR A CARRIER. THEN IT WILL WAIT 8 SECONDS FOR THE CORRECT
|
|||
|
|
PASSWORD TO BE SENT IF EITHER OF THESE TIMING REQUIREMENTS IS NOT MET
|
|||
|
|
THEN THE COMPUTER HANGS UP AND AWAITS ANOTHER CALL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IF THE MODE CHOSEN FOR UNATTENDED MODE INCLUDES A RECEIVE MODE SUCH AS
|
|||
|
|
R, K OR B AND THE APPLE RECEIVES A COMPLETE DISKETTE IN A DRIVE THEN
|
|||
|
|
IT WILL NOLONGER AWAIT A RING BECAUSE IT WOULD JU ST RECEIVE A PROGRAM
|
|||
|
|
ON THE SAME DISK THAT HAD JUST BEEN WRITTEN TO.
