^C33^C1BiModem File Transfer Protocol Installed^C0
^C36The ^C33^C1BiModem ^C0^C36File transfer protocol is now available on the BB.
For the benefit of those who do not know ^C1^C33BiModem, ^C0^C36it is a new program
which permits the transfer of files in both directions at the same
time.
The amazing thing is that not only does it manage to transfer files at
a slightly faster rate than Zmodem, but you can also chat to the Sysop
via a 'split screen chat' facility at the same time!
Given the same size of files to be uploaded and downloaded, the total
time taken to transfer all the files in both directions will be
slightly less than it takes to transfer the files in only one
direction using Zmodem.
Not only that, but comprehensive file recovery facilities are provided
in the event of a failed download and the protocol can be configured
to verify and/or update any existing files of the same name at the
destiniation.
A further feature is that you can create a file list containing the
names of the files you want to Upload and Download before going on
line and once the protocol is activated, all files are transferred
automatically.
Provision is also made to let you specify which directories should be
searched for the specified files, allowing you to state the names of
files to be downloaded, even if they are in different file areas.
^C1Michael Opacic^C0^C36, the author of ^C1EaziHost ^C0^C36and ^C1EaziLink ^C0^C36has written a
couple of special programs to optimise the use of ^C1^C33BiModem ^C0^C36with
both programs and these are available to registered users of ^C1EaziLink ^C0^C36
and ^C1EaziHost.^C0^C36
Try it. We are sure you will love it. ^C1^C33BiModem ^C0^C36marks the beginning of a
new era in terms of file transfer protocols in our opinion. You will
find the BIMOD120.ZIP file in the ^C1^C32Comms File Area^C0^C36.^C0
