- Much as I loved Flash 1, I can't see where the features of Storm
- offer any improvement's over STalker3. From the more extensive description
- in ST Report, it seems that the background downloading is only workable
- while in the program. What if you don't want to edit your capture buffer
- or program in basic. At least with Stalker, as a DA, you can be down-
- loading from any Gem based program. And now, thanks to a real rts/cts fix,
- (serialfix1.1), even uploading at 19,200 doesn't screw up the way it used
- to.
- I get 1660cps regularly with Stalker in zmodem, in the background,
- while reading news with Gus, or Editing in any Gem based text editor.
- Even unarcing doesn't kill the download, unless you do it for long enough
- to time out.
-
- Usual disclaimer about my uninvolvment with Gribnif or Eric R goes
- here.
