[comp.sys.mac] Does VersaTerm support CRC?

vogelw@bionette.ucs.orst.edu (Walter Vogel - Biochem) (06/17/89)

 I have one question about VersaTerm (I think the current version is 4.0).
 I have seen the program and wish to get it, however, I don't know whether
 it supports CRC binary transfers. Anyone know?

I don't think 4.0 is out yet (at least they haven't cashed my check
yet).  I got some sorry note from them about 2 months ago apologizing
for the (then) 2 month delay.

However, version 3.2 *does* support CRC and XMODEM/YMODEM/Kermit
text/binary/MacBinary transfers and works very well under Multifinder.

	Well, we finaly got ours last Friday.  It has a new icon (ooooh!)
and a very nice manual with a blue cover (aaah!) but otherwise doesn't feel much
different -- which is good I think.  I haven't put it through all its paces
yet, but so far it seems really solid -- in other words: typical VersaTerm.

	It now shows all of these settings in the file Transfer Progress
Window.  Very reassuring.

Flip side,
