The local Kermit should send a start- of-batch packet (S?), then a start-of-file (F?), then send the file data packets and then an end-of-file packet (B?); at this point a second start-of-file packet can be sent, and finished with an end-of-file packet. Additional file are sent in the same manner. When all the files have been sent, an end-of-batch packet (Z?) is sent. When the "Z" packet is received by the remote Kermit, the RECEIVE command should complete. If Dave's code sends each file in its own batch (i.e., if he sends an "S" and "Z" packet for each file), then you will not be able to send more than one file at a time to a Kermit that is not in server mode. As I said, I haven't looked into Dave's code, but you asked if anyone had any ideas, and this one sounded plausable. Hope it helps. Davide P.
