MAGIC NAME: XPRZ3
xprzmodem.library v3.3 & xprzedzap.library v3.3
xprZ33.lha contains AmigaGuide and plain text docs as well as
68000/10/20/30/40 versions of both xprzmodem.library and xprzedzap.library.
These libraries all require WB2 or better and support language catalogues
via locale.library. This release merges the source levels of the two
libraries so that both can take advantage of all fixes and enhancements.
XPRzedzap.library is an enhanced version of xprzmodem.library for use in
Mailers as well as BBSs and Terminal programs supporting XPR protocols. It
provides multiple zmodem-derived protocols, including:
Zmodem, SZmodem, ZedZip, ZedZap and DirectZap.
It is a complete replacement for xprzmodem.library, xprszmodem.library,
xprdzap.library and all previous versions of xprzedzap.library.
XPRzmodem.library is also enhanced to provide the same protocols as
xprzedzap.library, well as support for SZmodem. It is about 1K smaller
since it does not include some of the special features required in FTN
operations. This version should be used only on systems that do not have a
mailer or where the mailer does not support XPR protocols.
Fixes and Enhancements:
o REQUIRES wb2+
o Locale support.
o Defaults optimized for each library to permit MUCH shorter setup
strings.
o XPR 2.001 support for dual-status windows.
Protocol now informs host that it supports XPR 2.001 extensions
and double-buffering.
o XPR 3 callbacks register protection is installed and the
xpr_updstatus function is enabled, permitting notification
of transfer status for EACH file sent or received.
o Protocol name displayed will be one of:
Zmodem, 1K blocks standard
SZmodem, up to 8K blocks
ZedZap, up to 8K Blocks size based upon bps rate, ftn mode
ZedZip, 1k blocks, ftn mode
DirectZap, up to 8k blocks, minimum escaping, ftn mode
o Added status messages for resume
o A number of strings were not localized, corrected. Also added
localization for new options. These are NOT translated for
german catalog, so that catalog has been removed from distribution.
Catalogues and documentation for other languages should be
distributed separately.
o During batch transfers, Error message field is set to "None" when
starting to send or receive next file.
o New options:
Z - FTN mode
The Z option enables FTN operation, when Y, the following is in effect:
- RxTimeOut is restored to 600ms
- transfers start with blocksize specified in M option.
- block size baud-rate dependant
- serialbuffer is cleared before sending/receiving. In FTN
mode the turnaround from sending to receiving (and vis-versa)
is quite fast, clearing the buffer avoids reading echos of our
own characters or leftovers from the previous transfer.
M<block size>
The maximum packet size can now be set with a maximum/default at
8192. This will vary when sending and will be static when receiving.
When sending in FTN mode, the maximum packet size will be baud rate
dependant, and the size is calculated with the formula MAX_PACKET =
(BPS_RATE * 8192 / 9600). BPS_RATE will be the link rate if set with
the C option. You can specify a limit for the maximum packet size with
the M option, but it only influence the packet size if it is smaller
than 8K or if one is receiving a file. When not in FTN mode, the
blocks size is NOT dependant upon the bps rate.
C<link bps>
All Buffer allocations, and cps calculations will be based upon
link rate if passed with C<baud> option, otherwise they will be based
upon LOCKED bps. When the link rat eis used, the DataRate field of
status display will show the true CPS of each block.
N - send no files mode (DirectZap, ZedZip and ZedZap protocols)
It is permitted to have a session without sending or receiving
files if N option is Y. This is required with some protocols in FTN
mode so as not to generate a spurious failure after a mailer session.
This also changes EOF mode from sending CAN's to just sending ZFIN.
Q - DirectZap mode
Only ZDLE adn ZDLEE will be escaped if Q option is Y.
ToDO: Add support for TrapZap if someone tells me what the diff is
from DirectZap :).
