What Ken did was add definitions to describe external protocols in the osterm.config file. There are provisions to add in up to three external protocols. OSTerm comes with a config file set up to handle rz 3.24 5-5-93 for OS-9/68000 by Chuck Forsberg, Omen Technology INC. Are you sure that you meant 3.34 and not 3.24? Anyways, no matter. If you do indeed have 3.34, and the syntax has changed, then all you have to do is edit the osterm.config file. RZ/SZ does not include permission to be distributed with commercial packages like OSTerm, and so it is not included on the distribution diskette. Sending and receiving files with OSTerm 68K and external protocols is exactly the same as with the internal protocols, thanks to some smart programming by Ken. With a batch protocol like SZ, for example, the Pick Files file picker is used, and the list of files is passed to sz as a parameter. TTYL.

Colin, The version of rz and sz I have is 3.24 for both, just checked. I can't wait for the update, how long will it be ? -Warren --- RiBBS v2.10 * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/343) Public Message Message # 3184 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : George Hine From : Warren Hrach Subject : Re: KTERM PATCH Date : 94/03/26 08:08:45 Previous Reply is Message 3174 On Friday, March 25th, 1994 - George Hine wrote in a msg to Calvin ; GH> Thanks for the 1 byte poke for Kterm.

Or do you mean Osterm or its graphic interface (??) forgot the name. BTW I am waiting for the final update of OSTERM and would like to compare to the release V2.0 of Kterm, just got for testing and final release. No I don't know the price but will advise as soon as Blackhawk tells me. -Warren --- RiBBS v2.10 * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/343) Public Message Message # 3204 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Tim Jones From : John A Donaldson Subject : Re: oskbox Date : 94/03/25 19:20:00 Tim, OSKBOX is a Amateur Radio Packet mail Box/BBS written for OSK. Packet radio is a form of digital radio using a computer, a TNC (terminal node controller), and a 2 way amateur radio. it lets a ham radio operator to connect with other hams via either directly or thru his personal mailbox or via a packet network. I have sent messages to a ham friend of mine in CAL. via packet. The msg is transmitted from one packet node to another, figuring out along the way the best route to CAL. Since each ham packet station has its own address, the msg doesn't get lost. Kinda like a FIDO network. In fact very much like a FIDO network, execpt using 2 way radios and not phone lines. Hope this helped. John A.

I can't honestly give an accurate answer right now. Ken is doing all the programming for the project, and is very busy at work right now. All I can say is that it will be out as soon as possible.
