- Have you ever been jealous of those MS-DOS modem freaks who were bragging
- about BiModem?
- Have you ever wondered why only one side of your modem is being used,
- while you are sure the thing can send tow ways?
- Have you ever felt there could be more than ZModem?
- Have you ever been bored while downloading?
-
- Then Jekyll is the just the thing for you!
-
- Jekyll is a full duplex file transfer protocol that allows your modem to
- send files both ways and what's more: you can even chat with the other
- side at the same time and the CPS rate won't drop noticably. It can even
- go up if you're sending uncompressed files because Jekyll will compress
- them before sending and decompress them automatically when receiving!
-
- All this and more can now become part of your everyday life if you use
- Jekyll v1.37!
-
- A quick overview of it's stunning features:
-
- - Full duplex files transfer (send files both ways)
- - Split screen chat with configurable magics (words automatically being
- replaced by alternatives) and function keys
- - Real-time data compression, unseen until now. Can compress executables
- up to 30% and text files up to 50%!!
- - File selector built in so you can select files while sending the
- previous files.
- - Host-mode: scan the hard disk at the other side and request files from
- it. Useful for BBS's and normal users. BBS's can set all sorts of limits
- so their users won't get more than they're supposed to!
- - File-viewer, to read something while downloading
- - A small terminal to quickly make a data connection
- - Lots and lots more................
-
-
- The new features in v1.37 when compared to v1.32 are:
-
- - Progress bar
- - GMUS-protocol support: select music files for GigaMusic and Ultraplayer
- from within Jekyll! (Ctrl-M, Ctrl-Cursors)
- - Switches have been reassigned to four letters so their meaning is
- clearer
- - Made MiNT/MultiTOS compatible
- - Chatlog, saves everything you and the remote type in a file
- (-cout, -c_in & -chat)
- - Environment variable for configuration (JEKYLL=)
- - Files can be automatically deleted when succesfully sent (^..)
- - Screen routines imporved, now work a lot better when Jekyll's own screen
- routines have been turned off, no more juddery scrolling
- - TT-ports can be used (-port)
- - Cache size can now go up to 64K and caches are now dynamically allocated
- - 4K-Caches for (chat)logfiles
- - Jekyll now returns a return-code, it is the amount of kilobytes sent,
- this can be useful for level-calculations if BBS's use the host-mode
- - Host-mode now by default OFF, some sysops complained about it being
- by default on
- - Bug fixed that caused Freeze Dried to run Jekyll a few times when you
- installed it with an autostart-string and that caused QuickBBS to
- sometimes get incorrect descriptions like "Jekyll v1.32" etc.
- - Many bugs fixed and other small features added....
-
-
- You can get this file at ST QuickBBS Haarlem +31-23-340077 (JEKL137.LZH)
- and I'll ftp it to atari.archive in a couple of days. There the name of the
- file will be jekl137.arc.
