If you like this program, don't worry about sending any money; this
is not "begware". JSSC is absolutely free, no strings attached, no
copyrights, nothing.
Well ... maybe it's not fully string-free. You see, NightOwl Software
also produces MEX-PC, perhaps the most versatile communications program
available for DOS machines, and we're including this file in hopes that
you'll take a look at what we have to offer!
MEX-PC is a full-featured communications package that runs on the IBM-PC,
Heath/Zenith Z-100, Data General-DG1, Tandy 2000, and a host of CP/M-80
8-bit computers (including Kaypro, Osborne, Bondwell, many others).
Supported file transfer protocols include XMODEM/CRC (as well as XMODEM/
checksum), MODEM7-batch, YMODEM-batch, all 1K extensions to both XMODEM
and YMODEM, Kermit, Compuserve 'A', and 'dumbterminal' filesave and transmit.
MEX-PC is both menu-driven and command driven (your choice). The menu-
driven mode is similar to the Lotus (TM of Lotus Development Corp.)
standard; the command processor resembles the DOS command level. The
command processor couples to the script processor, forming perhaps the
most powerful script language available in a communications program.
This language supports string and numeric variables, block-structured
IF/ELSE/ENDIF, subroutines, nesting, and many useful synchronization
commands, such as WAIT-STRING, WAIT-TIME/DATE, WAIT-SILENCE, etc.
MEX-PC also features re-defineable keys (that may be used to transmit
text sequences) -- files of keys may be saved to and loaded from disk;
XON-XOFF synchronization with a remote host; time delays during text
transmission; ability to run DOS programs without leaving MEX-PC (and
thus, not losing the in-memory buffer); DOS services such as erase,
rename and type file; built-in context-sensitive help; multiple alt-
ernative long-distance service support (ALDS); a STAT function that
allows querying and changing more than 40 system variables; time and
date support; full DOS pathname support; multiple 40-entry phone dir-
ectories; 'list' dialing (useful for calling frequently-busy BBS sys-
tems); full color support (IBM and Z-100 only); 240-page ring-bound
manual; much more. Plus, MEX-PC is written in 100% assembly language,
for maximum possible speed.
An optional version ("MexPack") supports remote operation with pass-
word access and the ability to run DOS commands and 'well-behaved'
DOS programs remotely. The MexPack version also includes a full-featured
VT-100 emulator, along with emulators for Televideo 910/920/925, ADM3A,
and Data General Dasher (TM) D-100 and D-200.
MEX-PC is $59.95 ($99.95 for the MexPack version) -- plus $5 shipping
and handling (Wisonsin residents add 5% sales tax). The Z-100 version
can be purchased for BOTH sides of the Z-100 -- 8085 and 8088 -- for
only $129.95.
