Foreword The information contained in this handbook has been carefully put together. It is, however, still possible that errors have crept in. [. . . ] The long strings of numbers often received from DX stations, instead of the actual text, is now virtually a thing of the past. A problem can however occur with a switched on USOs, when a string of figures are received with only a space character in between, and the transmitting station fails to send a new Figures-shift after the space, to denote that the next character(s) are figures. 6. 102 VERIfy This is identical to the RELOad command, except the BBS file is NOT loaded into the PTC. The checksum is calculated instead so as to check the file integrity, without destroying the BBS contents. 6. 103 Version Remote Shows a short version and copyright message: PTC-IIe System / written by H. -P. Helfert (DL6MAA) Version V. 2. 8 (C) 1994-99 SCS GmbH ­ Germany 6. 104 Write Remote Default setting: none Parameter: Filename Title File or directory name. Optional title of the message. From remote the same function is also available as Send command. Enables files to be sent to the PTC mailbox. The end of the file is indicated, in the case of direct input from the terminal, by an ESCAPE-Character (refer to ESCchr , chapter 6. 37, page 53). In the case of a remote station sending a file via PACTOR to the mailbox, the end is indicated either by a CHANGEOVER, <Ctrl-Z>, or NNNN. In AMTOR, the end 83 6 Commands of the file is indicated by the CHANGEOVER (+?), or NNNN. An ESCAPE character from the sysop breaks off the remote controlled file input. The remote control sequence '//' may be contained within files, as, during the file input, the sequence has no meaning. The Write command may also contain two parameters: Write filename [title]. The filename is essential for mailbox operation. The filename is the name of the subdirectory in which the message will be stored. If this is missing, then the PTC reacts with a message: *** missing filename. The message can additionally be given a title. The title is not necessary, and can be left out. Contrary to most Packet-Radio mailboxes, the title is not automatically requested!Stores a message for DL3FCJ (without a title). cmd: W DL3FCJ <Return> Stores a message for DL1ZAM entitled 'Board Layout' cmd: W DL1ZAM Board Layout <Return> Stores a message for DL6MAA entitled 'This is a test'. cmd: W DL6MAA This is a test <Return> The last example shows that the title could be more than one word. The whole text after the filename is interpreted as the title of the message.
