Howdy Maxwell,

In your message you asked,

sP>I am looking for a C source to Punter protocal commonly used on
sP>commodore machines. I'm interested in writing a transfer program for
sP>the system I use andif someone had already written the program in C,
sP>it would save me the work. Also, If you happen to know some of the
sP>specifics about Punter, like a flow chart of how it handshakes, I
sP>would appreciate mail on that also. I'm part- icularly interested in
sP>writing a version that can handle multi-file transfers. If anyone has
sP>any information on this in a language that is legible to me, C ,
sP>Basic, or Pascal, please send some mail. Thanks in advance...

I have written a version of Steve Punter's C1 in C. I am not a
professional programmer and so the structure of the code is probably not
what it could be. It does work quite well though and Punter is using it
in his PC-Punternet BBS program for MS-DOS machines.

You can find both my source code and Steve's own written specification
for C1 on his bulletin board PSI Wordpro, 416-896-1446, online from 6pm
to 10am weekdays and 24hrs on weekends. If you have questions you can
contact me here as I regularly monitor this conference.

Ben Pedersen, Sysop
