                  Using Salt Air's PCBZM in Cam-Mail v1.30  
                

         I recently installed v1.30 of Cam-Mail and wanted to use Salt
         Air's new PCBZM  replacement for DSZ. I had  sitched to PCBZM
         as DSZ  is really not  very friendly when  run under DESQview
         386. If I was going to use Cam-Mail, I had to make PCBZM work
         as it did for everything else on my board.

         You may copy your PCBRZ.BAT and PCBSZ.BAT files to Cam-Mail's
         CAMRZ.BAT and  PCBSZ.BAT files, but when  run, PCBZM wants to
         see a PCBOARD.DAT  file in the directory it  was called from.
         In the  bach files you will  have to change to  the directory
         for that node and then  change back to the CAM-MAIL directory
         to return control back to Cam-Mail after the packet transfer.
         Like this:

                CAMRZ.BAT                         CAMSZ.BAT
                                         

                @ECHO OFF                         @ECHO OFF
                cd %PCBDIR%                       cd %PCBDIR%
                ZMRECV.EXE %3                     ZMSEND.EXE %3
                cd cam-mail                       cd cam-mail

         After  talking to  the people  at Cam  DeBuck Software, I was
         told  that  Cam-Mail  uses  a  tempory  file created during a
         transfer  to update  the callers  message pointers  after the
         caller's packet transfer.

         To insure  that your callers  pointers are updated,  you will
         need to make sure that the enviornment setting for DSZ.LOG is
         fully  pathed out  and not  merely a  filename. Make sure the
         following is in your BOARD.BAT file:

         SET DSZ=C:\PCB\N1\PCBDSZ.LOG
                       ^^
         And  if you  are running  several nodes,  make sure that this
         line is  added to each  BOARD.BAT for that  node and that  it
         reflects that node's directory (ie: N1,  N2, or N3). ^^ ^^ ^^
         One final note,  I use different BOARD.BAT files  to load the
         same node. Why is not important, just  that I do. So I had to
         set this  enviornment variable in  my BB.BAT file  DV386 used
         when I open  the window to pull up that  node, and then I had
         to modify BOARD.BAT which is what  I use to pull up that node
         after a DOOR  is finished running and control  is returned to
         PCBoard.

         I would like to  thank the people at Cam  DeBuck Software for
         patiently helping me to get PCBZM to work on my board. I have
         merely documented  what I learned  so that another  would not
         have to go through this and the long distance calls to get it
         running. <grin>
