Comm 1.33
This version incorporates file transfers for use with 'American People
Links' Windowed XMODEM ( WXMODEM ) protocol. This protocol virtually
eliminates the delay caused by using a half-duplex file transmission
protocol via a packet switched network. What this means to the user is
a 30% or better reduction in transfer time.
PLINK can be reached at:
1-800-826-8855 (modem) 1-800-524-0100 (voice)
----------
Aborting a WXMODEM transfer is a bit unusual in that at any instance in
time, there can be up to 4 outstanding data blocks somewhere on the channel
between PLINK and your computer. When Comm needs to abort the transmission
it will first halt the transmission, close any file it was receiving and
print "Wait..." on the screen. It will then restart the transmitter and
send the abort sequence. It may take several timeouts to abort the
transmission so please DON'T hit the ESC key several times.
If the transmission doesn't abort and the file ends up being sent to your
screen, you may have to type the abort sequence by hand. This sequence is
^X^X wait 1/2 sec then ^F. That's control X twice, wait 1/2 second then
control F. A few of these should do the trick.
--------
Interlaced Split Screen mode may not function on a machine with 512K or
less memory due to insufficient memory.
--------
There are 2 icons supplied with this file. Comm.info and CommHI.info.
Comm.info is set to bring up comm in the normal screen mode. CommHI.info
will bring up Comm in the interlaced mode. To use this interlaced icon,
rename Comm to CommHI. Then from the workbench, click on the CommHI icon.
