*** NAK THIS LINE *** A description of several enhancements to the popular Ward Christensen "XMODEM" protocol has been distributed to bulletin board systems with the file name YMODEM.DOC. An article late this year in Byte Magazine will cover the same topics. YMODEM provides enhanced operation with high speed modems, especially over satellite links. The batch transfer option allows programs such as "Professional-YAM" to send files between DOS, Unix, and other systems while preserving exact file length and modification date. The file is available on Telegodzilla (503-621-3746 1200,300 bps) in normal and squeezed (YMODEM.DQC) form. A sister file YMODEME.D[OQ]C is formatted for a Gemini or Epson printer with boldface, etc. UUCP sites can obtain these files with uucp omen!/usr/spool/uucppublic/ymodem.doc /tmp ymodeme.doc and ymodem.shar (mm macro) are in the same directory. The following L.sys line calls Telegodzilla (Pro-YAM in host operation), accesses the locally connected Xenix machine with YAM's "link" command, and then logs in as uucp. omen Any ACU 1200 1-503-621-3746 ase:--ase: link ord: Giznoid ogin:--ogin: uucp -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ..!tektronix!reed!omen!caf Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie IS RD Portland OR 97231 Voice: 503-621-3406 Modem: 503-621-3746 (Hit CR's for speed detect)
