Subject: Using MEX remotely
A new set of files which allow MEX (Ron Fowler's popular modem
program) to be used remotely are now available from Simtel20:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory MICRO:<CPM.MEX>
WELCOME3.MEX.1 ASCII 1269 656FH
WELCOME4.MEX.1 ASCII 1469 15DCH
WELCOMEX.DOC.1 ASCII 1506 DF6DH
Here is a short description of how it works:
WELCOME3.MEX, by Bruce Morgen, expert refinements by Ron Fowler, loop
back to auto-answer by Bruce Morgen.
This file may be used to do a relatively automatic file transfer setup
from your computer to a remote user. It will prompt him to prepare a
file-receive at his end, wait for him to do it and allow a comment
(logged to a disk file) at the end. PLEASE NOTE!: THE FILE WILL WORK
AS-IS ONLY IF YOUR MEX OVERLAY SUPPORTS AUTO-ANSWER WITH A `SET
ANSWER' COMMAND. It is only one small step toward really using MEX
1.11's programability and can be easily edited for other uses.
WELCOME4.MEX (9/19/84) is the result of a little on-line experience
and my extremely ethical nature, which would not allow me to promise
an XMODEM filesend that I could not deliver.........Bruce
