[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] protocol libraries

dtiberio@eeserv1.ic.sunysb.edu (David Tiberio) (04/28/91)

  Where can I find documentations on protocol libraries? I have protocol
docs, but am looking for xpr-library docs. Also, I need an xprymodem.library.

I'd test the library carefully.  The xprkermit shipped with ATalkIII did
not multi-task correctly.  It trashed files and hung transfers if run
on more than 1 port at a time.

The xprkermit.library has a documented restriction that it can only be run 
on a single port at a time. I don't know if Steve Walton added the 
multi-serial support later on.

Well, I *think* I've added it to the latest beta, but so far have no
volunteers who are willing to test it.  The latest beta also fixes a
bug which prevented XPR Kermit from working at all on most A3000's,
as well as a number of other things.  Right now I'm in the midst of
finals (giving them, but still a lot of work);  expect news in a few
weeks.

	If you need a beta tester, I'd be happy to help. I'm working with
Steve Tibbett and his BBX software, and adding general purpose XPR support
is high on the list before release. We haven't done much with the kermit
side yet, because of the not working via multiple ports...
