PTC-Mailbox

The PTC-IIex contains its own built-in mailbox. The mailbox files are stored in static
RAM and remain there even when the power supply is turned off. The maximum
allowable file length and the number of files in the mailbox is only limited by the amount
of free memory. Filenames may be a maximum of 10 characters long, and should contain
no special characters. The PTC truncates all over long filenames after 10 characters, no
difference being made between upper and lower case letters.

Entering the Help command via PACTOR the mailbox of the PTC-IIex displays the
following list.

<pactor remote commands>

h(elp) q(rt)

da(te)

ti(me)

d(ir) w(rite)

r(ead)

del(ete)

sh(ow) v(ersion)

p(hase)

lo(g)

c(heck) cl(r)

l(ist)

s(end)

be(ll) u(ser)

pos(ition)

characters within brackets are optional.

For more information type: h command (eg: help send).

Display 5.7.1: PACTOR mailbox help

At Read and Send commands (on the terminal side) without a file number, either the first
file will be read, or, if more than one file is present, the directory will be shown. When no
argument is given, then the present directory name (path) will be used by the file system.

BREAKIN during a remote text output (also while reading a file) will erase the text
output or ends the file read.

After a

Disconnect

,

RESEt

or

RESTart

, the current directory is set to the

MYCALL

given value. With a connect from another station (Slave connect), the current directory is
set to the call of the other station.

Valid
