Some useful toolbar features
Glink has its own file display and directory navigation feature. You can copy, move, erase, rename,
print and set attributes of files directly from Glink. Additionally you can move Glink around your
directory structure, to pick up files to be uploaded, or position to where files will be downloaded.
You can start a Glink script to eliminate tedious repetitive tasks, or add user-friendly interfaces to
legacy applications. Scripts can be used for pre-programming dialog, initiation of file transfers and
initiation of other Windows applications.
You can automatically generate a script by starting the ‘learn’ feature. Your interactive work will be
monitored, and when you are finished with the sequence the ‘escape’ key turns off the learn feature,
stores the generated script and then guides you through assigning it to a toolbar button if desired.
The file transfer menu offers a wide choice of industry standard protocols: Kermit, Xmodem,
Ymodem, Ymodem-batch, Ymodem-G, Modem-7, Telink and Zmodem. Bull users with Direct GCOS
Access are offered UFT.
The powerful Glink FTP client has a Graphical User Interface that displays the mainframe’s file
system in the familiar Windows formats with a choice of icons, small icons, list or details. You can
navigate freely in the local and remote file systems, and drag and drop files between them.
In addition to the standard file transfer protocols, Glink offers a simple text capture option. When you
turn this on all plain text received from the mainframe will be captured on the file, as well as being
displayed on the screen.
Glink’s print screen function can select the current Windows default printer, start with the Windows
printer and keep it for the session, ask you to select a printer the first time you print in a session or
select a fixed printer. The GUI printer configuration options give an optimal hard copy.
The Glink ‘dump screen’ function writes a plain text snapshot of the screen to a file. You can move
in the directory structure, and select an existing or a new file. You can choose to start each screen
image with a form feed, and suppress any trailing blank lines on the screen.
Glink has its own line monitor. It records communications traffic in a debug window. Our support can
play back debug files into a test Glink, to reproduce any problems reported from the field, and our
developers can test their corrections to be sure that they fix your problem.
You can have up to 32.766 pages of scroll-back buffer. You can edit the buffer to delete
uninteresting sections, you can set bookmarks and you can add annotations. You can copy, print,
save, e-mail or transmit to the mainframe any marked section of the scroll-back.
The dial directory can be password protected and encrypted, and contains up to 999 entries. Entries
can have your userid and password, terminal mode and even a startup script. Entries can use IP
addresses rather than telephone numbers, making it useful for TCP/IP users.
Line-control functions include: connect, disconnect and break. You can also display the connection
menu, enter local mode while retaining the connection, display the time you have been on-line or
display the line buffer to see exactly what you have sent and received.
All the Glink features are available as functions that can be assigned to a keyboard combination, an icon on
the toolbar or a button on the keyboard toolbar. Additionally Glink has 1000 macros that you can define to
give local or mainframe functionality, and these too can be assigned in the same way. Glink is unique in that
macros can start Glink scripts, and thus any keyboard combination or button in any toolbar can start a script
and open a whole world of extra functionality for the user. This makes Glink ideal for enhancing access to
your strategically important, even vital, legacy systems and increasing the productivity of your users who still
access them.
