                          Manual for WIZ-LINK Ver 2.1
      
      The WIZ may be used like an ordinary communications program for 
      accessing and transferring files to another system or BBS 
      (bulletin board).  When the WIZ is talking to another WIZ one can 
      access some unique features.  All of the functions can be viewed 
      from within the WIZ by hitting the HOME key.  However, the help 
      screen is limited so many users will find this document of value.
             Moving files from one computer to another is referred to 
      as UPLOADING and DOWNLOADING.  When you SEND a file to another 
      computer you are UPLOADING.  When you receive a file you are 
      DOWNLOADING.  
      
                                 Using the WIZ
      
             If you are using the WIZ on floppys you must make a 
      bootable disk (use FORMAT B:/S) and transfer WIZ.EXE to it.  
             From the DOS prompt type WIZ.  After the Copyright screen 
      you are asked for the communications port that WIZ will use, 
      either COM1 or COM2.
             The next step is to choose the data drive.  This is the 
      drive from which, or to which, you will be sending or receiving 
      data.  You must append the colon to the drive name A: B: etc.
             You may now choose the baud rate.  If you are connected 
      directly from serial port to serial port use the highest rate 
      that is reliable.  Normally the default (19,200) will be 
      acceptable.  Some computers will not work past 9600 baud while 
      others may work fine at maximum speed.  If you are using a modem 
      for communications over telephone lines you must choose the baud 
      rate compatible with your modem.
      
                TRANSFERRING FILES FROM ONE WIZ TO ANOTHER WIZ
      
             If you are directly connected via serial ports you are 
      ready to move files either way.  The first test is to type on one 
      keyboard and see if it is displayed on the other screen.  If the 
      computers do not echo whatever is typed on the other you should 
      check that you are plugged into the correct COM port. If all is 
      well you are ready to data/file transfers  from the keyboard of 
      either computer.  An example is in order:
             1.  You want to transfer your WordStar program from the 
      \WS sub-directory on the source computer to drive B: on your 
      remote.  The first thing is to check the free space on the remote 
      by pressing the ALTERNATE key and Function key 9 (ALT F9) at the 
      same time.  You may place the remote into drive B: by hitting ALT 
      A, then B:.  If all is well, from the source, hit PgUP.  You may 
      choose a single file or a batch.  In this case you choose BATCH 
      by entering a 1 + C/R (Enter/Return).  You will be asked for the 
      batch you want.  This operates like your DOS wild cards.  In this 
      case we want all the files on the \WS sub-directory so type *.* 
      (if you only wanted files with an extension of TXT you would 
      request *.TXT).  The file names will appear with the total number 
      of bytes to be transferred.  To continue enter a 1.  The rest is 
      entirely automatic.  Sit back and watch WIZ do it's thing.  
      
             You could have done exactly the same thing from the 
      keyboard of the remote by hitting ALT F8.  The only difference is 
      the way wildcards are handled.  When sending a batch from the 
      source using PgUp the regular DOS wildcards apply (? and * are 
      acceptable).  When you are operating the remote and requesting a 
      batch from the source do not use ? or *.  To get all the files 
      you simply hit return at the prompt.  To get files with a TXT 
      extension enter .TXT.  WIZ looks at all the files and gives you 
      any that contain the exact sequence you requested.  RE will get 
      RESTORE.COM as well as SHARE.COM as the sequence RE is in both 
      files.
             If you get frequent errors (Short block,Checksum error, 
      etc.) lower the baud rate and begin again. 
             If you have WIZ at only one end you should hit the RIGHT 
      ARROW to place WIZ in the local mode.  This disables the 
      automated features, many of which can be controlled from the 
      remote computer.  
      
                              THE FEATURES OF WIZ
      
      Most of the functions are executed by a combination of the ALT 
      key and another.  ALT F1 means: Depress the ALT key and, while it 
      is depressed, hit Function Key 1.
      
      ALT F1
             This is a very powerful function.  You may leave the WIZ 
      and execute almost any DOS program (1-2-3, DBASE, etc.), and, 
      when finished, return to the WIZ by entering EXIT from the DOS 
      prompt.
      
      ALT F2
             This allows one to change baud rates at any time.
      
      ALT F3
             Toggles between 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and NO PARITY to 7 
      data bits, 1 stop bit, and EVEN PARITY.  Most applications will 
      use 8-N-1 which is the default.
      
      ALT F4
             Execute only one DOS command and return immediately to the 
      WIZ.  This command is similar to ALT F1 except that you are 
      returned to the WIZ after the command you enter is finished.
      
      ALT F5
             Allows you to change sub-directories locally.  Same as the 
      DOS command CHDIR/CD.
      
      ALT F6
             Create or modify function keys when pressed alone.  Useful 
      to store the telephone numbers of other computers you may call.  
      If you use a Hayes compatible modem you can have the modem do the 
      dialing.  The command ATDT3057478329 will instruct the computer 
      to dial the PC Systems BBS using tone dialing.  You may add a ' 
      to the end and insert a remark that will be ignored by the 
      modem.  eg.  ATDT3057478329   ' PC Systems BBS    could be placed 
      in #1.  Then, when you hit F1, the call will be placed.
      
      ALT F7
             Re-enables password protection on the remote.  Always use 
      this command just prior to disconnecting from the remote to 
      insure the privacy of the system.  
      
      ALT F8
             This is the command to request files from the remote.
      
      ALT F9
             Get the free space on the default drive of the remote.
      
      ALT F10
             Get a directory of all the files on the current directory 
      of the remote.
      
      ALT A
             Change the data drive locally.
      
      ALT C
             Toggles whether your computer sends a linefeed with every 
      carriage return.  Condition shown on status line.
      
      ALT E
             Toggles whether characters entered locally are echoed to 
      the screen.  When communicating with many BBS's this should be 
      off or you will get double characters when you type.
      
      ALT F
             Toggles the capture of incoming data to a file named 
      CAPTURE.WIZ.  Very useful if you want to record what appears on 
      your screen.
      
      ALT H
             Hangs up the phone if you use a Hayes compatible modem.
      
      ALT I
             Shows how to make your own cable to direct connect from 
      one serial port to another (RS-232 to RS-232).
      
      ALT K
             This is a three in one command.  All action takes place on 
      the remote (provided the remote is running the WIZ).  You may 
      KILL a file on the remote by typing the file name.  You may 
      change to another sub-directory on the remote by typing \NAME
      You may change the CURRENT drive on the remote by giving the 
      drive name (A:  B:  C: etc.).
      
      ALT L
             Shows a condensed list of the files on your CURRENT drive.
      
      ALT P
             Allows one to remotely change the MASTER's password on the 
      remote.  Only the MASTER's password can be changed remotely.  
      Useful is you think your security has been breached.
      
                        Hey there, you have some mail!
      
             These four features allow one to leave messages that will 
      be picked up by the remote or base computer.  eg.  You call your 
      office from PARIS at 8AM Paris time.  No one is in your office.  
      You simply leave a message that they will get when they come in.  
      The WIZ must be at both ends for this feature.
      
      ALT R
             Get any messages that have been left for you.  If there 
      are any, you will be advised when you first sign on.
      
      ALT S
             Sends a message you create to the REMOTE.  The status line 
      on the REMOTE will show MSG if there are any.
      
      ALT T
             Leave a message for the remote to retrieve the next time 
      he checks in.  
      
      ALT Y
             If your status line shows MSG you have one or more 
      messages.  ALT Y retrieves them.
      
      All messages are dated and time stamped.
      
      ALT V
             You may wish to change this timing factor to fine tune the 
      WIZ to your computer.  Usually this is not needed.  The WIZ knows 
      the clock speed of the computer on which it is running.
      
      ALT Z
             A commercial from PC Systems.  We are quite different from 
      the rest of the industry.
      
      UP ARROW
             The WIZ keeps a log of all callers (provided you enabled 
      password protection).  The UP ARROW allows one to see the log of 
      all callers and when they called.  Useful when many will use the 
      WIZ.  You may have 20 salesmen on the road with instructions to 
      check in each day.  The UP ARROW will disclose who checked in, 
      and when.
      
      DOWN ARROW
             Gives you the log of the remote, provided you are 
      connected of course.
      
      LEFT ARROW
             Toggles BBS mode with password protection and LOCAL.  BBS 
      refers to the mode where you will leave your computer to await a 
      call.
      
      RIGHT ARROW
             Toggles LOCAL and BBS without password protection.
      
      
                              The PASSWORD file.
      
      The first time you run the WIZ it creates a password file with 
      only one entry.  It is named PW.WIZ.  It contains the following:
      
      MASTER,1111
      
      You initial password is 1111.  You may change it to your needs.  
      You may add all the new names and password below the first using 
      EDLIN.  EDLIN comes with your DOS.  From the DOS prompt type 
      EDLIN PW.WIZ.  Type L and you will see :
      1.* MASTER,1111
      To add additional names and passwords type 2I + C/R
      You will see  2.* 
      
      Add all the names and passwords you wish.  The NAME may be any 
      length, the PASSWORD must be exactly four characters.  The WIZ 
      sees upper and lower case are differently.  Be careful.
      
      When finished hit F6 + C/R, then E.  If you get an error when 
      starting the WIZ you likely made a mistake in the PW.WIZ file.  
      Each line must contain a name followed by a comma followed by a 
      four character password.
      
      You may register your WIZ with PC Systems, 3705 Shares Pl. #6, 
      West Palm Beach, Fl 33404.  We will advise you of any super-
      awesome additions we make.  Your comments would be appreciated.
