Contents
This is an alpha release of XprQuickB.library, an Xpr protocol support
library for use with CompuServe. XprQuickB uses a windowing protocol,
so that the sending system can continuously transfer data blocks,
without waiting for immediate acknowledgement. This is especially
useful over packet networks, since network delays can seriously degrade
file transfer performance.
So far this library has been tested by only one person (Jack Rouse).
Unfortunately, one known bug is still present, but it is easily worked
around. During automatically initiated file transfers with VLT, the
transfer does not start, and the status window does not open until an
input event (such as tapping the shift key) occurs. After requesting a
file transfer from CompuServe, wait a second or two and tap the shift
key a one or more times until the transfer status window appears.
This archive should contain the following files:

XprQuickB.doc the primary documentation
xprquickb.library the protocol library
quickb.h C source
xprlib.c " "
quickb.c " "
