In article <1686@vaxb.calgary.UUCP> maloff@calgary.UUCP (Sheldon Maloff) asks
asks if the problem evidenced in 2.8 kermit xfer is also present in 2.6.
The answer is no. I screwed it up in 2.8. The bug doesn't exist in any
prior level.
2.9 is shaping up pretty well and, if my luck holds and I continue to
get 3-4 hours to myself per week, it should be out in July or August. So
far I've got external transfer programs working--you specify in your init
file what the menu item will look like and the program (and arguments)
that are necessary to send and receive files. Of course, the send and
receive programs may be different. It also supports user-specified font
size, will have an AREXX port (but you don't have to use it), multiple
ON commands active at any time, AbortIO() fixes (once I figure out the
"right" answer), more kermit fixes (mostly for half-dux users) and more.

Of course, the send and >receive programs may be different. Please, PLEASE have the heart to include a well-done zmodem send and receive module! I have minimal C hands-on experience, even less if you consider amiga-specific coding. In other words, I probably would not be able to write a module for myself. From my BBSing experiences, I can tell you that Zmodem is GOOD STUFF! Very highly recommended. Everything else I could think of has departed for the nether regions... Except for keep up the great work. The VT100 emulator is great. The only other idea that I have has to do with making a IBM type of font, which would support IBM Line graphics on the IBM boards.

Frank Anthes has supplied an sz/rz implementation for the Amiga that I've been using for quite some time. You're right--it's GREAT! >The only other idea that I have has to do with making a IBM type of >font, which would support IBM Line graphics on the IBM boards. >[Yes, some of us do not have a local AMiga BBS to call :-(] >>Tony Sumrall acs@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!acs A bit beyond the scope of what I'd intended to do with VT100 but I'll add it to my list (near the bottom, though...sorry). >Kurt Lidl -- Tony Sumrall acs@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
