Can anybody provide/direct me towards a description of the Compuserve B file transfer protocol ? The only published info I can find is a listing of a program supporting it in an issue of Dr Dobbs from 1986. I think I've unscrambled what's going on, but some solid confirmation would be a great relief. Thanks in advance. -- Jim Hague UUCP: ..!mcvax!ukc!jmh Failure has gone to his TG: 72:MAG10135 head. - Wilson Mizner.

Hello! I am the co-author of ProComm and PROCOMM PLUS. You can find a complete description (and source code) of the CIS B protocol in the IBM Com forum on CompuServe. Type GO IBMCOM at the system prompt. Also code for the new CIS Quick B protocol is available in Download area 10 (in the COM FORUM). If I can be of further help, let me know. -Bruce Barkelew DATASTORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Columbia, MO REPBRUCE @ UMCVMB
