WXMODEM 1.00r Apr 1991
----------------------
This driver is intended to replace the WXModem.COM version 0.9
which is the only driver I have ever been able to find!
This version has only two parameters:
1. Way+Port Number.
2. [drv][path]<filename.ext>.
It will attempt WxModem transfer and that failing try to go with
XMODEM-CRC and then fall back to try XMODEM-CSUM.
This version has been optimized and compiled with Turbo Pascal 5.5!
I am NOT including the source code to preclude a rash of variations
and hacks. However, for $10.00 to cover the media and handling expenses
I will mail you a copy of the source. This is intended for study,
and/or learning purposes or for incorporation into a comm program.
If you get the source you may NOT distribute it!
I hereby claim Copyright (c)1991 by L.B. Neal on substantive improvements
over the original code as written by Scott Murphy and Peter Boswell.
This program is placed in the Public Domain for personal non-profit
use! The program is provided as-is without warrenty.
I welcome comments, suggestions and application reports.
WXMODEM.EXE requires about 64k available to run in. Error information
will be written to the file WXMODEM.ERR.
The driver supports COM1 thru COM4 on PC/XT/AT type machines. BIOS
screenwrites are used for maximum compatibility with multi-tasking
programs,etc. Baud rates thru 9600 should work but I do NOT have
9600 baud for testing.
The port is assumed to be initialized and as such the driver probably
will not work stand alone from DOS.
An interrupt driven receive buffer is utilized for fast transfers
without losing characters. It is set at 4096 bytes as provided.
I have included WXR.BAT and WXS.BAT which are examples of how to
call WXMODEM 1.00+ via a batch file. The provided files are setup
for Telix 3.12 standards and thus probably will need some modification
to use with other comm programs.
NOTICE
------
L.B. Neal, Scott Murphy and Peter Boswell are NOT any way required
or obligated to support use of the "WXMODEM" drivers or terminal
programs.
This program is provided "AS-IS" without any form of warranty that it
will do anything at all. 'USE AT YOUR OWN RISK'!!!
