(C)OPYRIGHT 1983, FOR USE ONLY ON SPLIT
|
|||
|
|
INFINITY UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION
|
|||
|
|
FROM THE BLUE ADEPT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THIS TUTORIAL IS DIVIDED INTO THREE
|
|||
|
|
SECTIONS. THE FIRST EXPLAINS WHAT AE
|
|||
|
|
PRO IS, THE SECOND EXPLAINS WHAT THE
|
|||
|
|
SPLIT INFINITY AE LINES ARE, AND THE
|
|||
|
|
THIRD (AND BIGGEST) EXPLAINS HOW TO USE
|
|||
|
|
AE PRO TO GET PROGRAMS FROM THE AE
|
|||
|
|
LINES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SECTION I:WHAT IS AE PRO?
|
|||
|
|
-------------------------------------->
|
|||
|
|
ASCII EXPRESS II THE PROFESSIONAL IS
|
|||
|
|
AN EXCELLENT COMMUNICATIONS PACKAGE BY
|
|||
|
|
SOUTHWESTERN DATA SYSTEMS CAPABLE OF
|
|||
|
|
TRANSFERRING APPLE PROGRAMS AT 300 OR
|
|||
|
|
1200 BAUD. THE PACKAGE CONTAINS AN
|
|||
|
|
EXTENSIVE USERS MANUAL. IN THE THIRD
|
|||
|
|
SECTION I WILL USE THE MANUAL TO
|
|||
|
|
BASICALLY EXPLAIN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
|
|||
|
|
AE PRO...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SECTION II:SPLIT INFINITY AE LINES
|
|||
|
|
-------------------------------------->
|
|||
|
|
SPLIT INFINITY AE LINES ARE BOARDS
|
|||
|
|
USING AE PRO. LIKE THIS ONE, THEY
|
|||
|
|
HAVE A SYSOP, BUT THE SOLE PURPOSE
|
|||
|
|
OF THE AE LINES ARE FOR THE TRANS-
|
|||
|
|
FERRING OF PROGRAMS. WHEN YOU CALL AE
|
|||
|
|
WILL ANSWER AND WHEN CONNECTED DISPLAY
|
|||
|
|
'ENTER PASSWORD:" UNLIKE SPLIT
|
|||
|
|
INFINITY, THE PASSWORD IS THE SAME FOR
|
|||
|
|
ALL USERS AND IT CHANGES ONCE PER WEEK.
|
|||
|
|
THE PASSWORD CAN BE FOUND RIGHT HERE
|
|||
|
|
ON SPLIT INFINITY USING THE 'I'
|
|||
|
|
COMMAND. ONCE YOU ENTER THE CORRECT
|
|||
|
|
PASSWORD, YOU WILL BE INTO THE AE PRO
|
|||
|
|
SYSTEM. IF THE SYSOP IS AROUND, HE WILL
|
|||
|
|
CHAT WITH YOU. OTHERWISE, SEE WHATS IN
|
|||
|
|
THE DISK DRIVES (SEE SECTION III ON HOW
|
|||
|
|
TO DO THAT) AND DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAMS
|
|||
|
|
YOU NEED. AN UPDATED LIST OF THE SPLIT
|
|||
|
|
INFINITY AE LINES CAN BE FOUND IN
|
|||
|
|
MESSAGE #1 ON THE APPLE PIRATE BOARD.
|
|||
|
|
USE THE NEXT SECTION TO SEE HOW TO
|
|||
|
|
WORK AE PRO IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MANUAL
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SECTION III:HOW TO WORK AE PRO
|
|||
|
|
-------------------------------------->
|
|||
|
|
IF YOU HAVE NEVER RUN AE PRO OR NEED
|
|||
|
|
TO RECONFIGURE YOUR SYSTEM THEN RUN
|
|||
|
|
A PROGRAM ON THE DISK TITLES 'INSTALL'.
|
|||
|
|
NOW IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED!!! WHEN
|
|||
|
|
AE PRO IS UP ITS COMMAND PROMPT WILL
|
|||
|
|
BE '->' IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED. IF YOU
|
|||
|
|
TYPE '?' YOU WILL SEE THE MENU OF
|
|||
|
|
COMMANDS (PAGE 1). IF YOU TYPE '2'
|
|||
|
|
YOU WILL SEE PAGE 2 OF THE COMMANDS.
|
|||
|
|
NOW YOUR READY TO GO! TYPE 'D' FOR
|
|||
|
|
DIAL. AE WILL RESPOND 'NUMBER? '
|
|||
|
|
TYPE THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO CALL
|
|||
|
|
AND HIT RETURN. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR
|
|||
|
|
MIND SIMPLY HIT RETURN WITH NOTHING
|
|||
|
|
TYPED. NOW AE WILL DIAL AND TRY TO
|
|||
|
|
CONNECT. IF NO CARRIER IS DETECTED OR
|
|||
|
|
THE PHONE IS BUSY AE WILL STATE
|
|||
|
|
'CONNECTION TERMINATED'. IF YOU CONNECT
|
|||
|
|
AE WILL SAY 'AE:TERM-->'. AS I SAID IN
|
|||
|
|
PART II, YOU MUST NOW TYPE THE PASSWORD
|
|||
|
|
IF YOU ARE CALLING AN AE LINE... IF YOU
|
|||
|
|
ARE CALLING A BBS LIKE SPLIT INFINITY
|
|||
|
|
THEN SIMPLY GO ON NORMALLY. IF
|
|||
|
|
CONNECTED TO AN AE LINE YOU HAVE 6
|
|||
|
|
OPTIONS:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

C)OPY INCOMING DATA
|

-------------------
|
|||
|
|
THIS COMMAND CAPTURE TO BUFFER WHATEVER
|
|||
|
|
IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
D)IRECTORY
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
THIS IS HOW YOU SEE WHAT PROGRAMS THE
|
|||
|
|
GENEROUS SYSOP HAS LEFT FOR YOUR
|
|||
|
|
TAKING! BE SURE TO CHECK BOTH DISK
|
|||
|
|
DRIVES... IF THE CATALOG CONTAINS
|
|||
|
|
FILES CALLED ']MAP,]PART1,]PART2,ETC'
|
|||
|
|
THEN IT IS A COPYA PROGRAM WHICH HAS
|
|||
|
|
BEEN 'SPLIT' USING DISK SPLITTER 2.0.
|
|||
|
|
TO GET THIS, YOU MUST RECEIVE ALL OF
|
|||
|
|
THOSE FILES AND USE DISK SPLITTER 2.0
|
|||
|
|
TO 'MERGE' THEM INTO A COPYA DISK. (IF
|
|||
|
|
THAT SOUNDS COMPLICATED--IT IS!). I
|
|||
|
|
WILL POST A SOFTDOC FOR DISK SPLITTER
|
|||
|
|
2.0 BUT IT IS RATHER STRAIGHT-FORWARD.
|
|||
|
|
DISK SPLITTER 2.0 IS AVAILABE FOR
|
|||
|
|
DOWNLOAD IN THE SPLIT INFINITY DOWNLOAD
|
|||
|

R)ECEIVE
|

|
|
--------
|
|||
|
|
FOR SOME REASON, YOU MUST USE THE SEND
|
|||
|
|
COMMAND INSTEAD OF THE RECEIVE COMMAND
|
|||
|
|
TO GET A PROGRAM. RECEIVE SENDS A FILE
|
|||
|
|
TO THE OTHER LINE (CONFUSED---I AM!!!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
S)END
|
|||
|
|
-----
|
|||
|
|
USE THIS TO GET A FILE FROM THE AE
|
|||
|
|
LINE. HIT 'S', TYPE THE FILENAME AS
|
|||
|
|
IT WAS IN THE D)IRECTORY, AND AE WILL
|
|||
|
|
OPEN THE FILE AND SAY HOW MANY BLOCKS
|
|||
|
|
(APPROXAMITELY TWICE THE SECTORS) THE
|
|||
|
|
FILE IS. THEN TYPE 'CONTROL Q' AND
|
|||
|
|
'G' FOR GET. TYPE THE FILENAME AGAIN
|
|||
|
|
AND WHAT DO YA KNOW! ITS SENDING!!!
|
|||

V)IEW

-----
|
|||
|

DISPLAYS A TEXT FILE. NOT VERY USEFUL
|
|||
|

ON AN AE LINE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SHOW
|

|
|
OFF YOUR WARE LIST OR SOMETHING...
