Although some comm programs are just ┌───────────────────────────────┐
now beginning to break the trend, most │ │
currently have just the standard │ Joe Blow's Comm Program │
protocols built into them, such as │ │
Xmodem, Ymodem and most likely a few │ <────┐
others. With the emergence of various │ │ │
new protocols, the comm program authors │ │ │
needed to provide a way of executing │ │ SHELLS to DOS and │ │
these new protocols without incorpo- │ │ executes batch file... │ │
rating them into the code, which would └───│───────────────────────────┘ │
increase its size unacceptably. To do │ │
this, the authors provide a means to \ / │
exit to DOS (while remaining resident ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │
and connected to the BBS) and execute │ Zmodem batch file containing │ │
the transfer protocol externally. (Thus │ command and parameters to │ │
the name "external protocol"). After │ execute Zmodem (DSZ.COM) │ │
transfer is complete, control is └───│───────────────────────────┘ │
returned to the comm program and your │ │
session continues as usual. └─────────────────────────────┘
