We have just designed a new protocol that has been fully successful on
multiple computer formats, and are ready to begin distribution, starting with
an Amiga version of our protocol. Our protocol fits a niche in downloading
that has yet to be filled, and will be used to help save extra time for
many people on the internet. Although it will not replace zmodem, it is
definitely needed for it's main special feature.
Now how do I make it into an external protocol so everyone can use it?
Right now we plan on releasing a stand alone program, kind of like sz and rz.
Please help. Thanks. :)

To me, it sounds like he would like to release his new protocol as an XPR library, but he does not have any information on writing these XPR-compatible external libraries. Now if one of you Amiga programming super-gods coudl give him some of this information, I am sure he would be willing to release his protocol as an XPR library. > >Dan Taylor ------------------------------------------------------------- / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / / ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / ------------------------------------------------------------ \ ISU : The Home of the Goon / \ Who wants to Blow Up the Moon / -------------------------------------------------------

There are also sources included in XPRZMODEM-210.LZH, XPRXMODEM.LZH, and XPRKERMIT15.LZH. Please be aware that XPRkermit does not allow multiple processes to use the protocol at the same time, something BBS operators should be allowed to do. Watch for this limitation if you use it as an example. -- .../Ed Preferrred: Ed.Wilts@BSC.Galaxy.BCSystems.Gov.BC.CA Ed Wilts Alternate: EdWilts@BCSC02.BITNET (604) 389-3430 B.C.
