=== Documentation: ===
This is only a very short documentation, for this is only Version 1.0 and I
wanted to bring this program to publicity as fast as possible.
XprTransmit is a CLI-based interface to Xpr-protocols (see Fish 261 or Fish
247). With this program it is possible to simply start any file-transmitting
protocol without breaking one's head about "call-back"-functions and other
stuff.
Be sure to have your Arp-Library (Version 39.1 or higher) and the Xpr-Library
you want to use installed to your "libs:"-directory. Up to now XprTransmit was
only tested with "xprzmodem.library" version 2.0 and "xprascii.library" ver-
sion 0.9. Please let me know, if XprTransmit doesn't work with other proto-
cols.
Usage: XprTransmit <Send|Receive> <wildcards> Lib=<Xpr-Library> Dev=<Device>
[Shared] Opt=<Options> [Quiet] [Delay] [Beep].
=== Description of Parameters: ===
SEND | RECEIVE You must specify exactly one of these switches, depending
upon you want to upload or download.
WILDCARDS To select the files to transmit you may use any Arp-style
pattern. Please consult your Arp manual.
LIB Specify the full protocol's library-name here.
DEV Specify the device you have your (null-)modem connected.
SHARED Using this switch the device is opened for shared access.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The internal "Supra 2400zi"'s device named "modem0.device"
doesn't support shared access. So please try to not use
shared access.
OPT The string specified with OPT used to call the Xpr-Library's
function "XProtocolSetup".
QUIET With this switch turned on, the info window will not appear.
Outputs to normal StdOut are not supressed!
DELAY If you set this flag, XprTransmit will wait appr. 4 seconds
after the transmit is finished before closing the info window.
BEEP If set, XprTransmit will DisplayBeep() all screens if transfer
is complete.
=== Example for Ascii transfer: ===
XprTransmit Send <file-to-send> Lib=XprAscii.Library Dev=serial.device Opt=10
Delay Beep
=== Example for ZModem transfer: ===
XprTransmit Send Dummy-File Lib=XprzModem.Library Dev=serial.device Delay Beep
=== Bugs: ===
- I haven't included yet some call-back-functions described in the Xpr-docu-
mentation. If you discover any messages like "xxx failed." hanging around on
your CLI window, please let me know.
- The Carrier signal is ignored.
- Currently automatically opens at 2400 baud (exept in shared mode), because
XprzModem.Library doesn't tell me at what rate to open.
=== The End ===
