Looking for information about ASPECT 3

[josecarlo]

Hi!
This is the first time I'm in this forum and the first time that I have to use the software ASPECT (Procomm for DOS). So it would be helpful for me if somebody can tell me where to find some information about this software. I only have several ASP script files.
Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this forum.

On the Procomm Plus 4.8 CD there is a 720 page document about Aspect Script. This can be downloaded from the CD in PDF but can not be saved. It can however be printed out. [sig][/sig]

MY NAME IS ARTURO NEIMANIS AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I FOUND SOMETHIND IN AN APLICATION SIMILAR TO PROCOMM NAMED COM-AND.EXE THAT SHOWS SEVERAL ASP COMMANDS THAT ARE THE SAME IN BOTH LANGUAGES. ANEIMANIS@HOTMAIL.COM FOR MORE INFO.

Looking for ASPECT scripting language documentation, I found asp.arj which I decompressed into asp.ng but now I cannot read it; could you try? ...or... do you know how?

You can find both files on my public Xdrive at

http://www.xdrive.com

using FDoylet as user-id and password.

I don't remember where I found it yesterday.
Next time I come accross it, I will take notes.

Keep me posted please

What is there to know about it? all the information you would need for this program is in the help files and the help screens. It's a very simple program to use.

There is quite a good description of commands, although I am not sure all are covered.
Hope this is of some help.

The Windows version of Procomm comes with an extensive help file menu. The tutorials will make you proficient in developing code in very little time.

The DOS version of Procomm did not have the extensive documentation that the Windows versions do.

I have an old 1989 Que Publishing manual USING PROCOMM PLUS. In it is a brief overview of all the Aspect Commands for version 1.1. The book also states that the commands are similar to Pascal or QuickBasic, and suggests that the programmer learn the basics of one of these languages.

So since there was never a definitive reference from Procomm, a QuickBasic reference manual would give the structure, and any book showing the Procomm specific commands would give you what you need. Robert Harris

I am looking for a very very basic (preferrably cheap or free) terminal emulation program (simpler than Procomm Plus) that will let me use my ASPECT scripts that I created in Procomm Plus 32.

Any help would be appreciated!

Joshua:

The script language now used by Windows 9X is very similar to Procomm. Here's a sample:

; Send the password
transmit $PASSWORD, raw
transmit "^M"
; Wait for the prompt
waitfor szPrompt
transmit szConnect

There is a dial up scripting tool that you can install as a standard Windows option in Windows 95 or higher. I know that you can use it in a dial up networking session and I believe also in Hyperterminal. I had no luck finding documentation in the Microsoft knowledge base, but a search engine search under "dial up scripting" will get you help. Here's one link for example:

Good luck! Robert Harris

Can anybody tell me how to write an Aspect script for Procomm Plus in order to ftp a machine. Whenever I try to use connectmanual, it uses the anonymous username and I don't know how to tell it not to.Here's what I have:

proc main
set userid "user"
set password "password"
connectmanual FTP "10.243.17.18"
endproc

To make a non-anonymous FTP connection, you have two choices. The first is to make a Connection Directory entry that specifies the username and password to login with. You do this by clicking on the Logon Info button in the bottom right of the Connection Directory (after you have created the entry) and entering the name and password. You would then use:

dial FTP "entryname"

to make a connection to the FTP site.

The other option you have is to write a script that sends the necessary keystrokes to a Procomm window to bring up the FTP | Manual Connect window and enter the necessary information using the sendkey and sendkeystr commands.

The one thing to keep in mind that, at least in the first instance, the FTP login and password can be grabbed from the Connection Directory entry using an ASPECT script. I would only recommend doing this if only authorized people are able to run the script.

Hello,

The CD for Procomm Plus has Examples and Manuals. Invest a Few Bucks and Print out the Manuals (3). The Manuals have some Good Examples. They are in PDF Format; But if you have Acrobat 5.0, you can send the PDF File to a Text file. Then you can Cut and Paste the Examples into the Aspect Editor.

Also might want do a search for "Symantec Aspect Assist" on the Web. You can order Procomm Manuals from Symantec But not sure if the New Aspect Manual comes with it.
