Hi all,
I need Beta testers for a program my company getting ready to release.
It is not a glorified terminal program but a true communications
package it does everything UUCP can do but with almost ANY system at
the other end.  It runs protocol and terminal emulations like Deluxe
Music (tm) plays scores.  Can be used with any device (some 'C'
knowledge required), defaults to the serial port.  Complete comm
language including vars, loops, tests, auto-menu strips, requesters,
screen control (32/64 colors, # bit planes, proportional fonts,
multiple fonts and keymaps, std clear/pos cmds).  Only uses the device
when the comm channel is active.  Capable of completely unattended
operation through use of a full-blown auto-connect system (can respond
differently to multiple stimuli -- thus you can handle a wide variety
of error/status conditions).  It is not a memory hog (runs fine
on a 256K A1000 & only uses about 1/2 of it).  Oh, BTW you can (if
you really want to) use it like a terminal program.

I have general use Beta testers and now I need people to test the docs/
includes/code that allows people to easily implement their own
protocols.  The design of the program makes it relatively easy to
convert public domain protocol code into a form usable by the program.
I am not sure how much work this involves -- it would take me about 2
days per protocol (but I know the system).  Keep in mind that ONLY the
protocol must be ported, everything else (physical channel management,
user interface, protocol debug code) is already present.

I will take those who have written PD protocol codes previously for
the Amiga over others since they can use their own code and are thus
familiar with it.

I may need Beta testers for the terminal files too, but the general
use beta testers (non-hardcore programmers) seem to have little
trouble implementing terminals using the universal terminal emulation
(UTM) code.
