RICK,
    I need to know if in Library
 Subdirectory Telcom there is an XModem machine program that supports the
cassette port (You know download to CAS: or upload from CAS:)?  Also to Drew (I
don't remember last name) Help on timing -- Strobe pin (output) and Busy pin
(either 21 or 25) (input) on the printer port -- I can get/send data but I
don't have the proper timing to send practical data.  Any help?  Rick- this may
be what you where talking about other users want to "plug in only" extra
devices (use the printer/computer status pins for the device ).
   
PS:  I received the disk.  Tried it out.  The lister program would not work
like the directions said. I wrote a simple program to send all files to the
printer.  You could mention the library to all new users in the opening
messages, and maybe allow them to get one program (Say xmdwp5 and its support
files) to show them whats there also may be allow them to get a listing of all
the availible files on the board (no downloading --just look) to show them what
they may be able to get (like the big department stores catologs-look  but
don't touch).  This may get more library use(?).
