This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

MICROTEL     (Software and documentation by T.E.Kennington.)
                    (C) T. E. Kennington 1984     19 Oct 84

1. INTRODUCTION

MICROTEL  is a communications interface  between  VidiEditor
and an external viewdata computer. When used with the  Acorn
PRESTEL Adaptor, it can :-

   a) Access any  one  of  six  computers,  who's  telephone
      numbers and I.D. numbers are kept on file.
   b) Behave as an ordinary alpha-numeric viewdata terminal.
   c) Copy from viewdata to  memory.
      (Standard  VidiEditor control.)
   d) Copy any VidiEditor page to viewdata. (Assuming access
      to the I.P.'s editing facility is available.)

It cannot be used for  downloading  telesoftware.  Nor is it
capable of bulk  uploading to PRESTEL. It  is designed as an
overlay for VidiEditor.

2. SETTING UP

The computer should be running  VidiEditor.  It  is  assumed
that   the   reader   is  familiar  with  the  operation  of
VidiEditor. Insert the MICROTEL system disc into the current
drive. Install MICROTEL by typing:

    VTE /LOGIN

on the command line. (Speed setting is irrelevent since this
is done by MICROTEL.) The  screen  will  now  be showing the
MICROTEL  login  frame with a list of  computers,  marked  A
to  F. If  no computers are shown, the message "No data file
present"  or  something similar  will  be  shown.  Read  the
section on setting up the SYSTEL file.

The command line will be yellow. This signifies that you are
in MICROTEL but not necessarily  on  line.  Pressing  ESCAPE
will  return  you  to VidiEditor at any time and the command
line becomes blue again.  Pressing  a key A to F will dialup
and login to the named computer.  For  security reasons, the
password for the accounts on the system are  never stored in
the  SYSTEL  file and must be typed at the  keyboard.  After
entry of the  password,  all normal viewdata controls may be
used for calling up any desired page. Note that the viewdata
command line is ABOVE the yellow  system  command  line.  To
log out, there are several ways. The recommended way  is  to
type:-

       *90#

which will display the PRESTEL 'Good bye' frame and drop the
line.  Control  returns automatically to  VidiEditor.   Some
viewdata  computers, however,  do  not  drop  the  line  but
present the  login  frame  again.  In  this  case,  type the
sequence:
    [ESC]          (Returns to VidiEditor)
    VTE / LOGIN    (Presents the MICROTEL Login frame and
                   clears the line ready to redial)
    [ESC]          (Returns to VidiEditor)

The  third  and  ultimate way  to  logout  is  to  pull  the
telephone plug out. This  will  cause  both MICROTEL and the
external computer to log out.

3. EXTENDED COMMANDS

Whilst on line to a  viewdata  computer,  switching  between
VidiEditor and the viewdata computer is easily accomplished.
Pressing  [ESC]  returns to VidiEditor. It does not drop the
line so care  must  be  taken  not to forget to log out when
finished.  The page on screen can now  be  inserted  in  the
current VidiEditor  magazine using the INSERT command. It is
ESSENTIAL that the  page  be  given  a  new  name  since the
viewdata  header  will  not be recognised by VidiEditor. The
page may be edited  in the normal way before being inserted.
Return to viewdata is by the command:-

        VTE

The command line turns yellow  and  anything  typed  will be
sent to the viewdata commputer.

MICROTEL has its own commands  and these are accessed by the
use of a 'switch'. It takes the form:

    <command> / <extended command>

There are just four  extended commands available. These are:

    LOGIN   (L)
    SEND    (S)
    REPLACE (R)
    TEST    (T)

SEND REPLACE and TEST are  only  of  use  if  the  user  has
Information  Povider  (IP) status and has access to viewdata
editing facilities. Further  details  will  now  be given of
each command.
   a) LOGIN   Typed as VTE /LOGIN.
              Drops the line if held and presents the log in
              frame for selection of a new computer.

   b) SEND    Typed as VTE /SEND.
              The user MUST be in the editor of the viewdata
              computer.
              On PRESTEL, this is DUKE computer, page *910#.
              The page routing information should have  been
              entered and a blank  page  presented  with the
              cursor at V01 H00. Press [ESC] for VidiEditor.
              Call the page for transmission to  the  screen
              with DISPLAY. Ensure that there is  nothing of
              importance on the bottom line as this  is  not
              sent in viewdata. Type the command  VTE /SEND.
              Before sending commences, TEST  is  called  to
              count  the  number  of  bytes to be sent. (See
              below). If the test succeeds,  the cursor will
              slowly scan  the  page.  Trailing  spaces  and
              blank lines are not sent.  [INTERLOCK+END]  is
              sent automatically when the end of the page is
              reached.

   c) REPLACE Typed as VTE / REPLACE.
              Works in exactly the same manner as SEND  with
              the exception that trailing spaces  and  blank 
              lines ARE sent.  This is of use when replacing
              a page in the  database  to  ensure  that  the
              original page has been completely over-written

   d) TEST    Typed as VTE / TEST.
              Scans the page on screen counting  the  number
              of bytes to be sent.  Trailing  spaces,  blank
              lines  and  the  bottom half of double  height
              lines are not counted.  1  is added for  every
              control   code.   (Representing   the   escape
              sequence.)  The top row (V00) is assumed to be
              forty bytes. If the byte count exeeds 920, the
              error message, "Too big!" appears. If TEST was
              called as part of SEND  or  REPLACE  then  the
              page will not be sent  and  the  command  line
              stays with VidiEditor for editing.

4. SETTING UP THE SYSTEL FILE

First time users will have  to  create  a  file  to  contain
information  on  up  to  six  viewdata computers. This file,
called  "S.systels", is loaded by MICROTEL  on  installation
and remains  in  memory for as long as the machine is on. To
create and modify this  file,  the  utility  "B.SET/TEL"  is
used.  This  program  runs  in BASIC. From VidiEditor, press
function key f0 then type:

    CH."SET/TEL"

The screen then displays the  contents of the current systel
file. If it is not in  memory,  then  it will be called from
the disc. If it is not on the disc,  then  a new one will be
created.  The  information is presented in a 14x18 character
matrix. Each computer,  marked  A  to  F, is allocated three
lines.  The first line contains the name  of  the  computer.
This is displayed on the MICROTEL login frame. The next line
contains the  computers  telephone  number.  A hyphen may be
inserted between digits if necessary to  create a 0.8 second
delay  for  older and slower telephone exchanges.  The  next
line contains the  users I.D. number. This is not absolutely
necessary as the viewdata  computer  will  prompt for manual
entry of the I.D. if it is not given automatically. This may
be  prefered  for  security  reasons. For the  same  reason,
personal passwords are NEVER stored.  All  numbers should be
terminated by the box character (SHIFT+f0). A  typical entry
might look like this:

    A  name:  ENTERPRISE....
        tel:  01-686-0311[].
         ID:  123456789[]...

IF autodial is not requied,  a  star  (*)  followed by [box]
should  be  inserted  in place of the telephone number. This
causes MICROTEL to give  a prompt for manual dialing. Whilst
editing the file, the cursor  may be moved around the matrix
by the normal cursor keys. When  editing  is  complete,  the
file  should  be  copied to disc by pressing [COPY]. Reenter
VidiEditor  with: *VIDIED [RETURN]  and  reinstall  MICROTEL
with: VTE  /LOGIN  [RETURN].  (No  star  prefix is needed or
should be used.) The systel file is  already  in  memory  so
MICROTEL does not attempt to load it from disc.
