DATA TRANSFER PROGRAMS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is a set of programs and command files that allow automatic file
transfers using Larry Whites' communication package.

Its' purpose is to update two computers so that each has the same data
even though part of the files are maintained on each individual computer.

You set it up so that it copies the original files to the computer needing
the update.

It works even though the files may be on different disks and PPN's.

The programs will log each computer to the PPN needed, start and stop
RIO as needed, terminate the transfer, and start the remote computer
running PASWRD.RUN (from the Amus Network). The local computer doesn't
need security as the modem isn't left attached to a job.

I developed these for my own use, and will modify them as I continue with
the project. I found some limitations, in that I tried to have the command
file do the whole thing including the password for the remote computer.
I couldn't make that work though, so it takes two commands to impliment
the transfer. I am sure there can be some improvements to this. I am
putting it on the network hoping to get some more ideas.


The programs consist of the following:

 FILE               DISCRIPTION                         TO BE LOCATED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSF DOC 3        EXPLANATION OF THE PROJECT
REMOTE CMD[2,2]     OPERATES CALLRE.BAS                     LOCAL
CALLRE BAS[1,4]     CALLS REMOTE COMPUTER THROUGH MODEM     LOCAL
TRANSF CMD[2,2]     INITIATES & CONDUCTS TRANSFERS          LOCAL
LOG1   BAS[1,4]     SENDS LOG1 COMMAND TO REMOTE COMPUTER   LOCAL
LOG1   CMD[2,2]     LOGS REMOTE COMPUTER TO PPN             REMOTE
CNTRLC BAS[1,4]     TERMINATES RIO                          LOCAL
LOG99  CMD[2,2]     TERMINATES TRANSFER                     REMOTE
HANGUP BAS[1,4]     SENDS HANGUP CODE TO REMOTE MODEM       REMOTE
HANGUP CMD[2,2]     OPERATES HANGUP.RUN                     REMOTE
PASWRD.BAS[1,4]     PASSWORD PROGARAM FROM AMUS             BOTH


LOG1.CMD and LOG1.BAS are to be copied and modified for each PPN to
be updated.


TO OPERATE ENTER "REMOTE" & CR

After computers are talking to each other and you have entered the password,
(Both computers logged in and at the dot or command level.)

ENTER "TRANSFER" & CR

The transfer and termination of the connection is automatic from here.
