- Dear User:
-
- New features and improvements for XPORT Shareware Version 2.1 now
- include the following:
-
- 1) Support for the NS16550 UART, which includes 16-byte transmit and
- receive FIFO buffers to improve throughput, advantageous in systems
- using multitasking or heavy TSR-related background tasks.
-
- 2) Shorter .EXE file resulting from the use of a better compression
- technique, for reduced disk space requirements.
-
- 3) A problem involving the use of the DOS APPEND facility and other
- data path utilities has been resolved.
-
- 4) Color screens and shadow effects for improved screen readability.
-
- 5) Ability to sort file listing by either name or extension.
-
- 6) Ability to route ASCII files to remote printer.
-
- 7) Inverse video for file selection indication instead of flashing
- characters.
-
- 8) Faster screen updates when working in remote mode, and other internal
- improvements.
-
- Also included in this package is XCLONE.COM, which provides the
- ability to copy XPORT.EXE to a system with an incompatible disk size
- or format. Version 1.2 includes modifications to allow proper operation
- with the 16550 UART.
-
- Note to users of older versions of XPORT (Version 1.3b and older):
- This new version (2.1) is NOT compatible with the older versions; if you
- happen to be using one of the old versions, you must either use it to
- transfer the new one to the remote PC, or install the new one on both
- conventionally via floppy disk, or use XCLONE.
-
- Please read XPORT.DOC and XCLONE.DOC for further information.
-
- If you use XPORT, please consider registering. If you do register,
- you will receive a version that includes additional features. Also, as
- features are added, I will inform you of the upgrades.
-
- If you received this copy from one of the commercial shareware
- distributors, you should know that I am not compensated in any way by
- such distributors. The price you paid to obtain this program was a
- materials and handling fee charged by the distributor. I get none of it.
-
- Please be assured that I appreciate your willingness to evaluate
- this product. Special thanks go to all of the bulletin board operators
- who do such a remarkable job serving as the distribution channel for all
- shareware products.
-
- Thank you in advance for your support.
