-
- You can now register your Powernode via VISA/MC from the
- Bytebrothers Support Door on DataWarp BBS in Broken Arrow
- Oklahoma. This is also the support board for Eric Cockrell's
- EZReader program for Interlink/Relaynet mail doors.
-
- Registration for Powernode is $10, $20 for two free upgrades.
- Please register the program if you use it.
-
- DataWarp BBS (918) 455-5544 24 hrs. HST Dual
- PCBoard 14/ Interlink Network
- Official Qmodem Distribution Site.
-
- Please have your VISA/MC card number and expiration date. A
- door selection from the main menu will take you directly into
- the Bytebrother's registration door. Comments are appreciated,
- and are accepted inside the door.
-
-
- Elliot Jackson's enhancement to the Bytebrothers patented
- "Drunkman Download System", DRUNKCUT is included with Powernode
- to allow you to run a tsr that will capture filenames from your
- screen when online to a bbs, and automatically append them to
- your bimodem transfer set. Just install and activate via
- alt-tab and you can tag files directly off the screen when
- online to the bbs system, and they will automatically be added
- to your bimodem download request that you start with Powernode.
- Since the routine is tsr it is available at any time with any
- com program anywhere.

- Revision i adds full support for the new PUMA transfer protocol
- by Matt Thomas the author of Lynx. This is an exciting
- protocol. It is fast, colorful, and handles high speed modems
- with great speed and grace. Puma single file uploads, batch
- uploads, and batch/single downloads are fully supported. And
- the file transfer sets you program with the [C] option from the
- main menu are totally compatible with the Puma protocol. The
- Puma command line is brought into the PNODE.CFG file so if you
- want to customize your puma installation just edit the .CFG file.
-
- Full support is now added for Ymodem-G, including the same
- batch upload ability provided for the other power protocols
- thru the [C]reate option in the main menu. And the programming
- of upload filesets.
-
- MobyTurbo is supported with a switch that toggles it on or off.
- The switch will stay set until you manually reset it again. And
- the MobyTurbo status is always displayed on the Transfer
- Protocol menu window. Enabling MobyTurbo enables it not only in
- the upload/download windows, but also in the [S]hell to DSZ
- option from the main menu. MobyTurbo is fully supported in the
- DSZ shell. MobyTurbo is an enhancement to DSZ-90 the new DSZ
- Zmodem release and is available in DSZ releases after 01/22/90.
- If you use an earlier version do not enable MobyTurbo since DSZ
- doesn't know what the hell to do with the command and will
- squawk at you.
-
- Support has been added to trigger Peter Norton's Disk Sort
- utility from the transfer window, on the upload directory. Or
- any directory you want to specify. Merely place DS.EXE form the
- Norton Utilities in the directory with Powernode and the [S]ort
- option will automagically appear on the screen in the Protocol
- Window. The Norton Utilities (tm) is commercial software owned
- and sold by Peter Norton and available at computer software
- stores across the country.
-
- In like manner inserting Gordon Haff's excellent Directory
- Freedom DF.COM in the directory with Powernode will change the
- old [F]iledir prompt at the main menu into [F] Directory
- Freedom. Directory Freedom is an excellent little file
- management system, that in point of fact blows away the
- internal system in Boyan, or any other com program. And it's
- one keystroke away from Powernode. When done in Freedom by
- hitting escape you are returned to Powernode's main menu.
- Directory Freedom is available as DF302.ZIP on bbs systems and
- is Shareware. And Gordon deserves the modest registration.
-
- Crater Rim's Jmodem Batch has been dropped since it is still
- screwed up on every board I can find except the authors. It's
- awesome watching a batch transfer when the second file comes up
- listed as 498 meg in size, and you seem to remember it was only
- 18k in the file listing.
-
- 47 other substantial changes have been made to the program in
- this revision that I won't elaborate on. It has been tested
- extensively with 14.4k modems and 38k locked ports and fine
- tuned for performance with fast iron and fire modems.
