This is the first experimental version of a BPQ32 interface for
|
|
dx-spider. The document assumes the reader is familiar with both
|
|
spider and BPQ32.
|
|
|
|
I have only tested it with ActiveState Perl v 5.8.7 Build 813
|
|
|
|
You need to install package Win32::API. I downloaded it from:
|
|
|
|
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/Win32-API-0.41.zip
|
|
|
|
Or, better yet, use ppm to install it for you:
|
|
|
|
ppm install Win32-API
|
|
|
|
Copy \spider\perl\BPQConnect.pm to the \spider\local directory
|
|
|
|
Edit BPQConnect.pm as appropriate - you may need to change ApplMask
|
|
and BPQStreams.
|
|
|
|
Although running spider will dynamically load BPQ32 if it is not
|
|
already running, it does not function correctly. I suggest you load
|
|
BPQ32 before starting spider. If you are already running any other bpq
|
|
applications thats fine, otherwise run bpq32.exe, or better still
|
|
bpqterminal, so you can monitor what is going on.
|
|
|
|
Outward connects to other clusters seems to work, although I've only
|
|
been able to test it with a very old DOS based AK1A system. See sample
|
|
connect script below:
|
|
|
|
Use command "set/debug bpq" from a sysop session to enable extra debug
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
Remember this is very much 'alpha' software!

Any problems/suggestions, feel free to contact me.

Sample connect script:
|
|
|
|
timeout 120
|
|
abort Downlink|Fail
|
|
# the '1' is for compatibility with agw and is ignored
|
|
connect bpq 1 switch
|
|
'BPQ:GM8BPQ' 'c gb7bpq'
|
|
'connected ''
|
|
# you can leave this next line out if you call the script 'gb7bpq'
|
|
client gb7bpq bpq
