- Contents
-
- This is an alpha release of XprQuickB.library, an Xpr protocol support
- library for use with CompuServe. XprQuickB uses a windowing protocol,
- so that the sending system can continuously transfer data blocks,
- without waiting for immediate acknowledgement. This is especially
- useful over packet networks, since network delays can seriously degrade
- file transfer performance.
-
- So far this library has been tested by only one person (Jack Rouse).
- Unfortunately, one known bug is still present, but it is easily worked
- around. During automatically initiated file transfers with VLT, the
- transfer does not start, and the status window does not open until an
- input event (such as tapping the shift key) occurs. After requesting a
- file transfer from CompuServe, wait a second or two and tap the shift
- key a one or more times until the transfer status window appears.
-
- This archive should contain the following files:
- ReadMe.1st this file
- XprQuickB.doc the primary documentation
- xprquickb.library the protocol library
- quickb.h C source
- xprlib.c " "
- quickb.c " "
- xpr_lib.fd used by BLink to create the library
- xproto.h XPR protocol interface header
- LMKFile the "makefile" for LMK
