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. +Rick+
