- I presume when you say UPLOADING you are actually sending from the buffer,
- since that is the only time that type of problemw will occur. You need to
- go to the phonebook entry for that particular BBS and change your
- TRANSFER EOF to CR/LF to keep your overtyping from happening.

- All files on Qlink are PD except for :
- Omega Q I and II, the SUPER Q utilities, and anything from the RUN
- libraries. Any files not PD are marked and notes as such.

- Uploading and sending from buffer are two very different animals. If
- you UPLOAD (ALT S), the file gets sent intact as you received it.
- If you transfer from buffer (ALT C, then ALT +) and have not changed
- your TRANSMIT EOF, then, yes, you will have the same problem.

- Novaterm 9.4 is now out, but I prefer Desterm myself.
- Enjoy!
