- xprQuickB.library, XPR implementation of CompuServe Quick-B protocol
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This software is for use with all terminal programs that comply
- with the XPR external protocol standard, defined by Willy Langeveld,
- (Currently [jul'89] only VLT since version 4.036.. Next version of
- A-TalkIII should support it, as promised by Marco Papa ;-), to transfer
- files to and from the CompuServe network.
-
- To install, simply copy xprquickb.library in your Libs: directory.
-
- To use xprQuickB, set your external protocol to xprquickb.library,
- then select transfer protocol Quick B on CompuServe when prompted (option
- 6). At the "File name for your computer:" prompt, DO NOT ENTER anything.
- Activate the external protocol send or receive function of your terminal.
- Select the path/file to send or receive with the file requester (much
- better than entering the whole thing at the CIS prompt, n'est ce pas?).
- The selected path/filename will be sent with a carriage return to satisfy
- the previously described prompt, and your transfer should start.
-
- There are no external protocol options at this time and the send or
- receive functions can be interchanged, they both call the same code. The
- host determines the transfer type.
