WELCOME3.MEX, by Bruce Morgen, expert refinements by Ron Fowler, loop back to auto-answer by Bruce Morgen This file may be used to do a relatively automatic file transfer setup from your computer to a remote user. It will prompt him to prepare a file-receive at his end, wait for him to do it and allow a comment (logged to a disk file) at the end. PLEASE NOTE!: THE FILE WILL WORK AS-IS ONLY IF YOUR MEX OVERLAY SUPPORTS AUTO-ANSWER WITH A `SET ANSWER' COMMAND. It is only one small step toward really using MEX 1.11's programability and can be easily edited for other uses - receiving files via batch transmission on an ongoing basis whenever the terminal is unattended is one - I'll probably work on that one myself, but I hope someone out there beats me to it! Syntax (from MEX, of course) is: READ WELCOME3 or WELCOME3 if the read command extender is on. The file to be sent must be on drive B. If the optional is left off the command line, MEX will search drive B (current user) for a file named DEFAULT.FIL - if that fails the program will go on to the comment/message routine and you will have lied to your remote correspondent about the XMODEM transfer. Have fun!
