The latest version of XMODEM is now available from SIMTEL20 as:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory MICRO:<CPM.RCPM>
XMDM117.LBR.1 BINARY 102656 24A5H
XMODEM is a program which runs on a RCPM system to allow a remote user
to transfer files to or from it.
Updates and revisions (in reverse order)
v11.7 09/08/85 - Added patch so MBBS used to enter upload descriptions
into message file. (MBYE40 and MBBS40 needed for this.) Also added
Murray Simsolo's XMDM116.FIX and a variation of Mark Motley's fix to
clear the WRTLOC flag when the "help" message is displayed so the user
can abort it and his TOSEXIT equate to make the TOS display on exit an
option.. Also fixed so that instead of time on system being reset, max
time allowed on is adjusted instead if a user uploads a file. Added
LOGSYS equate to pick the old LOG.SYS filename as new MBBS will work
with XMODEM.LOG as well as LOG.SYS now.. Added DWNTAG option so files
tagged with "F3" status attribute can be downloaded regardless of
access privileges. Fixed bugs introduced into v11.6 by Paul Trania (he
eliminated needed WRTLOC clear in DESCRIB optional code). NOTE: Read
MURPHY'S LAWS re: computer program bug fixes. (IF NOT TURKEY)
(Although I didn't like all of Steve's "fixes", I was trying to
integrate his updates with John Hoffman. The old NOT X and NOT Y
might have been more confusing than NOT (X or Y) but either works...
But (NOT X or Y) is NOT the same thing.. Changed OK2400 comments to
reflect change in code by pst..) Added code so ^X, pause, ^X will
abort an upload. -- Kim Levitt
v11.6 - 08/11/85 - Fixed bugs introduced between 112 and 115. Added
Kevin Murphy's changes to allow BYEBDOS systems to gain time on system
(note: must be using BYE338 for this to work properly. If you're
running BYE337, please upgrade to v338, as v338 corresponds to the
documentation and changes the way one BYEBDOS call function works).
-- pst
v11.5 - 08/10-85 - Fixed a bug in the "turkey patch" that could cause
double entries in the log file for uploads or worse. Also, eliminated
"thru packet " in message to console that is unnecessary and was
leaving last packet number on console screen at end of downloads if a
file is sent which requires small packets at the end. Also I fixed the
version number. (this is #11.5 not 1.15 or 115) Incorporated code from
John Hoffman's 11.3 update and Steve Sanders' 11.4 update to bring out
one version with all bugs fixed and features together again (I hope).
Made some of Steve's feature patches optional. (DSPFNAM for display
file name option, MBYE37 equate renamed to MBYETOS.) --Kim Levitt
v11.4 - 08/10/85 - Steve Sanders' version. (Did not include v11.3
updates.) LUXMOD equate added so XMODEM can be configured to work as
a LUXMODEM program. XM-FNAM2.ADD patch added to display selected file
name on downloads and uploads so user can verify system didn't get
garbage for the filename. Fixed TAGLBR option to work correctly.
Misc. clean up and changes. -- Steve Sanders
More history is available in XMDM117.UPD which is incide the LBR.
