I recently downloaded a copy of PROTEUS v.15. The date stamp on the
files was 1987. It was a pre-alpha test version of a Windows communications
package which supports zModem and many other VERY useful protocols, as well
as quite a few terminal emmulation modes and function key definition (macros).
I would like to get my hands on the beta test or even production version if
available, anybody heard anything?
Actually, I would like to obtain any public domain or shareware Windows comm
pkg, if avail. Please email info.

It supports xmodem, zmodem, kermit, ymodem and compuserve b. I am having a little trouble with it though. I can't get it to auto-redial and I can't get the kermit protocal to work with cms kermit. I normally use Telix, and find shareware windows communications packages lacking. Little features like auto-redial, ansi color, batch zmodem and others are still missing from the packages I have found. Telix runs fine under a window, but takes lots of memory and you can't run anything significant concurrently with Telix. If I could find a shareware program that fulfills my needs for logging onto bbs' and mainframes I would gladly pay and register. I would like a little discussion on this subject. What are some solutions that other people have used? -- | 731 Moro | POPEYE@KSUVM.KSU.EDU | Be cool, be hip, | | Manhattan, KS 66502 | kxb@phobos.cis.ksu.edu | be an Engineer. |

Where did you get this version from? The version on SIMTEL is ver 3.84. Simtel also has another package called UNICOM, which seems nice, except that it has a *very* irritating shareware "register me" message that pops up far too often for my liking. I installed it with the idea of testing it, but got so bugged with the message that I gave up. >I would like a little discussion on this subject. What are some solutions >that other people have used? I also use Telix within a window, finding its power makes me feel very unhappy with other software. Little things like being able to redefine my keyboard (so that the infernal Emacs key-commands go away to some extent) are nice touches in Telix. I still haven't managed to do reliable zmodem transfer in the background with *any* software, whether it is Telix running in a window, or a Windows application running as an icon. Everytime something I am doing in the foreground writes to disk, zmodem gets stuck, and then takes a *long* time to recover. I am beginning to think that this is a limitation with Windows, not with the software I am running. kartik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Department of Computer Science akm@oregon.BITNET University of Oregon
