For Qmodem this was the best way I found to use HSlink and Bimodem
since Qmodem always stops and asks for a filename if uploading.  Since
you still have to hit a key to start the download (PgDn), why not
different key if the result is effective.
Now with QmPro, that's a different story.  Since it has autostart, you
can successfully add it as an external protocol.

work.  I save it as a text file and then change my editor to qedit.  I
then make a new message and load the text file to the editor.  I then
address it to the person that I want it to go.

Leah, guess what?  The Qmodem for DOS program still crashes Windows even
now that .pif is being run instead of .exe...any suggestions?  Maybe
this is a tip; it runs if a Windows communications program is booted
before Qmodem.

Ahh, the light brightens.  While I used to use QMTD452, I was not aware of
HSlink at that time.  Now I use QMPro.  You also provided me with one of the
differences between the two, of which I was wondering..
While searching for a faster protocol I came across both HS and something
called Zmoby.  I have never tried the Zmoby.

Now, Eric ... I'm sure you've been told there are *no* stupid questions...
blah, blah, blah...
Anyway, if you're referring to the taglines (such as the one at the bottom
of this post), mine are put on automatically by my offline mail reader.
Maybe you don't read your posts offline?  If you do, do you use OLX
(which I think is included in most versions of Qmodem ... I just do
an alt-m from my terminal screen.)
I also have an tagline program which captures (well, steals, actually :)
taglines from other people's posts and then deletes duplicates,
alphabetizes, etc.
If you use an offline reader, let me know which one and how you access it,
etc., and maybe I can help you get it set up.  I'm pretty new to all of
this, too, but that's one thing I've managed to get set up and working.  :)

Eric,
  The taglines (those cool little on liners) are placed on your postings
by your offline reader/editor when you post a message through the quick
mail feature of your BBS.  I run Qmodem Pro for Windows, so I'm not
really familiar with which version of Qmodem Pro for Dos is the latest.
However, if your version is the recent version, it should come with OLX,
which is a great mail reader. An assortment of taglines should come with
it, but you can add any you want. It even comes with a capability
to "steal" any you see in others' posted messages. Check your docs; it
should provide all the instructions you need to get started.   Enjoy!!

for Windows.  The price is right, and I've been very happy with
Mustang's products so far.  I am also considering upgrading to the Win
version of QModem, but I've had a lot of trouble with other Windows comm
programs, so I'm going to wait awhile.  I've had no troubles running Dos
comm programs in a Dos window, in fact, they run just as well that way
as they do when I start them straight from Dos.  This all seems very
strange to me, as I would think that a Windows program would run better
under Windows then a Dos program would. <sigh>

Is this the place to discuss qmodem scripts?  Haven't found any other echos

Well... would be interested in swapping scripts, ideas and snippets... I am
trying to figure out how I can force a re-compile on included scripts...  I
use a single script I call genutils.scr for frequently used functions that
I include in most other top-level scripts and it is getting extremely tiring
having to manually recompile every script that uses it when I make a
change to genutils.scr... but if I could somehow fool qmodem into thinking
the top-level script had been modified...
Also, while I am here... is there a way to have qmodem run a script
automatically upon startup... I'm being lazy, I haven't looked yet, but maybe
someone knows...
Hey, thanks for listening...
