- XFERPRO version 1.1 was released in August 1995.
- The following new capabilities are provided:
-
- - Binhex 4.0 encoding and decoding to allow communication
- with Apple Macintosh computers. Only the Macintosh data
- fork is supported.
-
- - Support of two more multipart formats: America On-Line
- and Squirrel 3.0.
-
- - Decode method (i.e. UU, XX, MIME, and Binhex 4.0) is automatically
- determined from file data rather than file extension, freeing
- the user from having to know particular decoding details. This
- makes XferPro even easier to use than ever. To support this
- capability, the default is that all files on the command line
- are assumed to be decoded (see /E option below for encoding
- files on the command line).
-
- - /E option: indicates that all files on the command line should
- be encoded rather than the default of decoding them
- (part of above capability).
-
- - Multiple enclosure support for both encoding and decoding. This
- capability operates with file formats of single file for UU or
- XX methods, and also for MIME and Binhex methods.
-
- - /O option: you can now specify the output file on the command line
- for both encoding and decoding.
-
- - Additional on-line help was added for trouble shooting problems.
- In addition, the user is reminded to double-check the output
- whenever any built-in decoding integrity checks are manually
- over-ridden.
-
- - The decoding default was changed to treating all specified files
- as part of a large multiple part archive instead of several
- individual files to decode. This can be changed back to the
- original option via a configuration command if so desired.
-
- - Additional logic was added to help better decode multiple part formats.
-
- - Filename processing was added to ensure the specified output filename
- contained in the encoded file can be accepted by DOS/Windows.
-

- interoperability with many existing UU, XX, and MIME encoders is

- calculates the order price.
