I've seen a program called DCTRANDM (probably on atari.archive also) that allows you to upload in the background so you can continue to do something else in the meantime. Is there a program that will let you download in the background or is the program Shadow (if it's still selling) my only option? Steven Lee

There is also a way if you install the RUFUS-terminal-program from germany (shareware) as an ACCessory. Or if you've installed MiNT you can up- and download with TOS rz/sz and maybe other TOS trans- fer-protocols.

I've seen a few copies of shadow still on the wall in local stores. ( At least here we have local stores ) I don't think Antic is shipping it or supporting it at all, in fact, of the 6 warranty cards I mailed to Antic during their heyday, I never received one newsletter, catalogue or any other ack. I think I saw Mike Vederman complaining here, or on GEnie, that he hadn't seen a royalty check in years. I bought, and use Shadow regularly and would like to publicly call on DClick to follow CFJ's recent re-doing of macro-mouse as a new and improved program, and give us another Shadow with new and improved features like zmodem. Any others to show these guys there'd be some sales. Shadow is excellant, except for a few annoyances, like, if you time out in a batch download, you lose all of the files. Other than that, it has a permanent place on my machine anyways. Thanks to Mike and Paul, even if Antic never allowed you to provide a followup support. >Steven Lee -- John Henders jhenders@jonh.wimsey.bc.ca Vancouver,B.C. or jhenders@wimsey.bc.ca or ubc.cs!van-bc!jonh!jhenders

I remember Mike Vederman of DC Software mentioning a while ago that DCTRANDM was the predessor to Shadow. They're both Double Click products. Shadow is still available, but I like STalker instead (even though STalker works with Shadow) because you mustn't set up a large buffer for STalker. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
