Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2616 (TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

O.K.  Now I found out I can save my WP file in a "Generic Format" so I can
download it and it can then be picked up.  But when I'm about to download it
from my DOS machine and the Club BBS asks which format I will be sending it,
which do I choose? What is the difference between Xmodem-Cre and
Xmodem-1k/Ymodem or just plain Xmodem and again what is the difference between
Zmodem and Zmodem-Recover.  Would it make a difference if I downloaded a file
under Zmodem-Recover even though that particular protocol is not on the BBS's
list?
    
I'll try to upload a "Zodiac" file for Drew under Zmodem-Recover and see what
will happen.  My guess is that it will work o.k., but I wanted to know if that
was the best protocol to use.
