I'd like to suggest an improvement to the transfers routines: when a download is started, there could be something to check for enough disk space for the file to fit. With auto Z-modem, it easy just to start a DL to a floppy that you THINK has enough room, only to find out 10 minutes later that it's full. I know it's easy enough just to pop back and check the status yourself, but it would add (IMHO) to the overall slickness of the program. Plus, since we're all sitting on Santa's lap anyway, I thought I'd throw in an excerpt from my wish list. Keep up the good work, Jack. -- Matt Ranney "There are a few occasions where you do t22918@ursa.calvin.edu need to use a 'GOTO'... but... well mranney@wybbs.mi.org you didn't just hear me say that." mranney@pogo.ai.mit.edu -Dr. Joel Adams
