- This file will contain recent additions to the program when I remember
- to put them down.

- 7/25/90
- Added code that automatically recognizes a zmodem d/l and starts the
- transfer imediatly. A couple of lines were added to the term.inf file
- to accomplish this. The first is the path to put d/l's into, and the
- second is the command line to pass to rz when auto zmodem is detected.
- This line may be left blank if you normally just use rz to start downloads.
- I usually use rz -B so this line contains -B for me. The path that d/l's
- are put in can be changed from within the term program by going into the
- zmodem shell and changing the directory. IE. cd \term\dl
- The command line for auto zmodem may be changed from within the program
- with ALT-T.
-
- A limited macro language has been implemented, read the file macro.doc
- for information on how the script file works.
-
- Added a new command switch to rz. -r will resume a aborted file transfer.
- This command will tell the sender to start transfering data at a point equal
- to the file size on the receiving end. This switch also forces the -B switch
- since there is no way to resume if ascii conversions have been made to the file
- and it has changed in size.

- Added GIF to the list of binary file extenders as requested by
- Steve Rider.

- Converted the program to Turbo C ST. This reduced the code size
- and sped up the program some. It probably also created a million bugs
- in the process due to the strict type checking in ANSI C as compared
- to MWC. If you find something that doesn't work let me know. The ones
- that I'm already aware of are that you can't shell out to MSH.PRG and
- using the external editor in gem mode locks up the mouse cold.
-
- Added a new transfer protocal - Ymodem G Batch. To use it from
- the zmodem shell use the rb command with a option of -g.
- Example.
-
- Command> rb -g
-
- The testing of this was rather limited so I don't know if errors
- are handled properly. In my tests downloading 4 files from a forem
- BBS of moderate size, I averaged 200 cps better with Ymodem G than
- zmodem. Sending Ymodem G Batch seems to already be in the zmodem
- code but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. To try it for
- yourself just tell the BBS your on to receive Ymodem G Batch then
- use sb and it should autoselect the G Batch option (its a receiver
- initiated protocol option just like CRC's)
