- Welcome to Qmodem SST Version 4.2!
- ----------------------------------
-
- If you just HAVE to get going quickly, and have a harddisk, do these 3 simple
- steps:
-
- 1. Copy the first three disks INTO you current 4.x Qmodem directory.
- 2. Type "40TO42 QMODEM.FON" at the Dos prompt (to convert your FON)
- 3. Type "QMODEM" and get started!
-
-
- What's New!
- -----------
- It's been a long haul, but the new 4.2 version of Qmodem is ready! A lot of
- work and preparation has gone into it to make it the best darned communication
- program out there!
-
- o An all-new manual will accompany this version. More information, better
- pictures, a more complete index for finding things, and best of all, it
- comes in an ibm style slipcase with three-hole punches! (when 5.0 is
- released, you need only buy the insert at a substantial savings to you!)
- Of course, the On-Disk version does not come with the slipcase... :)
-
- o Zmodem! Yes, we have included the popular public domain Zmodem protocol
- as an internal protocol! Features like crash recovery, support for
- high-speed modems, batch uploading and downloading, it's all in there!
-
- o Batch uploading! As previously mentioned, 4.2 now directly supports
- batch uploading! And, it's the easiest system to use we have ever seen!
- Edit the batch before you go online, saving precious online dollars.
- then execute when you're ready!
-
- o Improved online help system! Heck, this one has it's own index!
- Multiple pages that can contain references to other topics. You can
- jump all around in the help system as needed! The help system remembers
- your path so you can back out or quickly return to what you were doing.
-
- o Qinstall is back! This allows you laptop users to configure Qmodem
- once, and not have to include the setup portion on your floppies. Hard
- disk users will probably not notice the difference. You can still call
- up the setup transparently with the familiar alt-n inside Qmodem.
- Again, the online help is fantastic!
-
- o The host mode has been improved! Now, you can add custom help screens
- for each command! Better support for those hard-to-hangup modems!
- Support for batch transfers!
-
- o Serial port support has been improved! Baud rates from 110 to 115200
- baud! Mark and Space parity has been added!
-
- So, as you can see, there has been a lot of work done to Qmodem 4.2. We
- consider it a major release! Get your order in quickly to avoid the rush!
- orders will be processed in a first come, first serve order. If you wish,
- call us voice at the numbers listed on the order sheet
-
-
- Registrations explained
- -----------------------
- A lot of you are wondering about your registration, and how it applies to tech
- support, access to the Forbin BBS, and just exactly what you paid for in the
- past.
-
- When you register your copy of Qmodem ($30.00 being the going rate), this
- entitles you to 1 year of tech support, both voice and through the Forbin BBS.
- You get a registration NAME and NUMBER (which have lately been printed on very
- pink paper).
-
- This registration NAME and NUMBER will plug in to your current copy of Qmodem
- making it registered. This set is also good for all future releases of
- Qmodem. So, even after your subscription for 1 year has expired, you can
- always download the current Shareware ver sion and apply your NAME and NUMBER
- to it.
-
- The $15.00 RENEWAL is to extend your voice and BBS Tech Support privileges.
- If you need help, then you should renew. Check the label on this flyer. At
- the top will be your Customer Number (not to be confused with your
- Registration Number) and your current Expiration Date for tech support. Some
- of you may have already expired. If so, you may want to renew to get support
- for the new version.
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- 1. You registered for version 2.00E back in 1985, and you paid $20 for
- your registration. You can renew for the $15.00 fee and order Disks,
- Manual or both! You are entitled to a valid registration Name and
- Number. To get these, simply call the Forbin BBS, leave a comment to
- the Sysop as to your past registration status, and he will upgrade you.
- You then call back in a couple days and get the information off the
- BBS!
-
- 2. You registered a copy of Qmodem in the last year, so your current
- registration has not expired. You will have already received a pink
- sheet from us with your last registration, and it will have the Name
- and Number on it. You can also do as in step 1 and call the BBS for
- this if you have misplaced the paper or forgotten your number.
-
- 3. You ordered the 41Bto42 Special we were running for a few months. You
- do not need to worry! Your 4.2 disks and manual will be shipped to you
- as we receive them from the duplicators!
-
- 4. You are a current Auto Upgrade user. If you subscribed to the Auto
- Upgrade plan less than a year ago (from the actual release date), then
- you will get the complete package automatically! Just sit back and
- wait patiently!
-
-
