QuickVoy Script

Configuration is based upon a script file called "Configure". All of the possible keywords are described in the instructions, so for now we'll look at an example script file, to demonstrate QuickVoy's flexibility...

Initially, we describe the icons...

ICON 1
{
   caption  "Web browser"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Web.!Fresco
   altrun   <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Web.!FrescoJS
   linkrun  &FAF
}

Icon 1 can load Fresco (the old one) when clicked, or Fresco (the never JavaScript one) if ADJUST clicked.

ICON 2
{
   caption  "Mail"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Mail.!Run
   watcher  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Mail.Transport.InComming.Email
}

ICON 3
{
   caption  "News"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.!Run
   altrun   <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.!NewsAgent.!NewsAgent
   watcher  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.News
}

Icon 2 will load Posty, and it will also darken if new email is available.
Icon 3 will load NewsAgent, or run NewsAgent without debatching if ADJUST clicked, and it'll darken if new news is available.

ICON 4
{
   caption  "Telnet"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Telnet.!Run
   altrun   IDEFS::Stephanie.$.Apps.Internet.!FreeTerm
   nocondis
}Icon 4 will run Voyager's Telnet if clicked, or FreeTerm if ADJUST clicked. This
icon is greyed out when you are not connected to the Internet.


ICON 5
{
   caption  "FTP"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.FTP.!Run
   nocondis
}
Icon 5 will run Voyager's FTP if clicked. This icon is greyed out when you are not
connected to the Internet.


ICON 6
{
   caption  "WebLoad"
   run      <VTiInternet$Dir>.VIX.WebLoad.!Run
   altrun   IDEFS::4.$.dyndns.!DynDNS.!Run
}
Finally, icon 6. This will either run WebLoad, or the DynDNS updater.
 



Now comes the general configuration. This controls many of the aspects of how QuickVoy behaves.
GENERAL
{
   quitconfirm  Yes
   callcoster   Yes
   iconbar      Yes
   modeminitto  3
   connectto    60
   carriercheck 5
   stackloader  <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!stackload
   stackkiller  <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!stackkill
   newsrx       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!NNTPFetch
   newstx       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!NNTPSend
   mailrx       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!CalPOP3
   mailtx       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!SMTPSend
   tasknewsrx   Voyager News Fetcher
   tasknewstx   Voyager News Poster
   taskmailrx   Calypso
   taskmailtx   Voyager Mail Poster
   newsin       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.News
   mailin       <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Mail.Transport.InComming.Email
   newsout      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.!NewsAgent.Outgoing
   mailout      <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Mail.Transport.Outgoing
   largecache   yes
   splash       yes
   pollreturn   200
   upontimer    5
   discontimer  10
}
 



Next are the call coster prices. These are correct for British Telecom calling a local-rate
number, such as Argo's 0845x pretends to be. The 20% discount is BT Keynumbers and BT Advantage.
CALLCOST
{
   peakmin     3.3
   evemin      1.2375
   wendmin     0.825
   discount    20
   mincost     4.125
   timeshuffle 12
}
 



Finally, the events. It should be pretty obvious when these are invoked...
UPON STARTUP
{
   boot <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.News.!NewsAgent
   run  <VTiInternet$Dir>.VIX.CountDown.!Run
}

UPON CONNECT
{
   run  <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!mbxwatch
   run  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!NNTPFetch
   run  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!NNTPSend
   run  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.Transports.!SMTPSend
   run  <VTiInternet$Dir>.Apps.AutoUpgrde.!Run
   run  <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!selfupgrd
}

UPON TIMER
{
   run   <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!mbxwatch
}

UPON DISCONNECT
{
}

UPON QUIT
{
   run  <QuickVoy$Dir>.Utilities.!autoupgrd
}
