• ACSPAGE.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 70.9 KB

No need to put ACSPAGE.DOC, FILE_ID.DIZ: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 11.6 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy ACSPAGE.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

INSTALLATION

Create a text file named ACSPAGE.DAT using any text editor.  Line 1 is the
modem port to use (enter as COM1 or COM2).  The next lines are for optional
commands.  To send a custom modem command, enter /AT followed by the modem
command.  (Example: 9600 bps and higher speed modems should enter /ATN to
disable attempting to connect at a high baud rate.)

The default screen color is white text on a black background.  There are two
ways to change these colors.  The first method is to add SET FCOLOR=n and SET
BCOLOR=n to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  (Replace n with a color code in the color
chart below.)  These environment variables will be used in all future
Affordable Computer Services programs.  The second method is to add /FC:n and
/BC:n in ACSPAGE.DAT.

FCOLOR and /FC set the foreground color; BCOLOR and /BC set the background
color.

The next 3 lines in ACSPAGE.DAT is a person's name (7 characters maximum, the
first character must be a letter of the alphabet), their pager ID, and the
pager's computer's phone number.  Repeat these 3 lines for up to 100 users.
Note:  Do not enter any blank lines.
