Steve Yelvington basically states that he wishes someone would write a
'generic' background file transfer program that would have a message pasing
system to start transfers (or some such).

Steve:

SHADOW (our product sold by ANTIC) does just that.  It completely works in
the background (during .PRG, .TOS and .TTP programs) and can even survive
system resets and still keep the file transfer going.  It doesn't slow the
machine down, and is 99.5% compatible with software out there.  The calling
sequences to access SHADOW are well documented, and we even provide source
code libraries in ASM and GFA BASIC, and a .O file to link with for even
easier access.

Several PD/SHAREWARE terminal programs and FLASH! have support built-in.
Heck, even GULAM could have the calls built-in (if he put them in there).

SHADOW is 100% assembly and is FAST!  I would venture to say that it is about
the most efficient file transfer program out for the ST (CPS thruput).

Hope that helps.  SHADOW retails for $29.95, but we can send it for $20.

Sorry for the advert...
