- | HSLK-TGI v1.00 Wide Beta 5
- | Telegard HS\Link Two-Way Transfer Interface Door
-
- Upon the release of HS\Link, a bidirectional protocol, it was
- again discovered how much Telegard lacked in the file protocol
- handling. While HS\Link could be setup as a single-way
- protocol in Telegard, it couldn't be installed proplerly as a
- bidirectional protocol, without a lot of hassle and inconvenience
- for the Sysop. HSLK-TGI was designed to interface HS\Link with
- Telegard so this would no longer be a problem. HSLK-TGI takes
- care of the uploading portion, letting Telegard handle the
- downloading side.
-
- HSLK-TGI when fully setup replicates the Telegard file
- section, or how Telegard would normally act, except that it
- handles both uploads and downloads at the same time. However
- HSLK-TGI doesn't replicate Telegards file section in all regards,
- so not all setups will work correctly with this version (though if
- you explain to me what the problem is I'll get around to
- programming it.).
-
- THIS PROTOCOL INTERFACE DOOR IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE. DUE TO
- THE MASSIVE PUBLIC INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM, AND MY LIMITED TIME
- TO COMPLETE IT'S CODING, IT HAS BEEN RELEASED AS A WIDE BETA TEST
- COPY. IT MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY, BUT IT HAS BEEN TESTED TO HANDLE
- ANY ERRORS THAT MAY OCCUR. JUST PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS A WIDE
- BETA RELEASE, AND YOU RUN IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-
- The following items are KNOWN not to work correctly, and will
- be fixed time permitting. This will work as a shell, maybe just
- not complete. It is highly advised that you limit access to this
- protocol to loyal users rather then just the normal public.
-
- ■ Does not check for duplicate files (except files going into the
- upload directory, but not anywhere else).
- ■ Timing is STILL messed up. This means that the time refund,
- CPS rates and other time related functions won't work correctly.
- ■ If a user hangs up it may not input a description for those files
- (but I'm unsure about this, it may have been fixed).
-
- That's about all I can think of for now. I know there will
- be a tonne more bugs, but since everybody is going "WHY CAN'T I USE
- HSLINK WITH TG?", I decided it had to be released as a Wide Beta.
- The official Beta's who were testing it were swamped with people
- asking for it so now the wish has been fulfilled. Again, it may
- not work exactly as intended, so if you find a problem (other then
- the ones listed above), please inform me so I can fix them.
