[comp.sys.amiga] X.PC support in terminal emulators

bga@raspail.cdcnet.cdc.com (Bruce Albrecht) (08/15/89)

Are there any terminal emulators that support the X.PC protocol developed by
Tymshare?  The CDC hosts support it and I figure that it would be a natural
for background file transfers.

 I don't know of any Amiga program that supports X.PC. I would like one
myself. All the example drivers are written for the *BM PC, I guess no one
around here has the time, ability and inclination to port them. If I could,
I would do it myself.

No, there aren't. BUT now, if you are willing to do the work, you can 
implement it yourself as an XPR library and use it with all XPR compliant
comm programs.
