Have you ever been jealous of those MS-DOS modem freaks who were bragging
about BiModem?
Have you ever wondered why only one side of your modem is being used, 
while you are sure the thing can send tow ways?
Have you ever felt there could be more than ZModem?
Have you ever been bored while downloading?

Then Jekyll is the just the thing for you!

Jekyll is a full duplex file transfer protocol that allows your modem to 
send files both ways and what's more: you can even chat with the other 
side at the same time and the CPS rate won't drop noticably. It can even 
go up if you're sending uncompressed files because Jekyll will compress 
them before sending and decompress them automatically when receiving!

All this and more can now become part of your everyday life if you use 
Jekyll v1.37!

A quick overview of it's stunning features:

- Full duplex files transfer (send files both ways)
- Split screen chat with configurable magics (words automatically being 
  replaced by alternatives) and function keys
- Real-time data compression, unseen until now. Can compress executables 
  up to 30% and text files up to 50%!!
- File selector built in so you can select files while sending the 
  previous files.
- Host-mode: scan the hard disk at the other side and request files from 
  it. Useful for BBS's and normal users. BBS's can set all sorts of limits 
  so their users won't get more than they're supposed to!
- File-viewer, to read something while downloading
- A small terminal to quickly make a data connection
- Lots and lots more................


The new features in v1.37 when compared to v1.32 are:

- Progress bar
- GMUS-protocol support: select music files for GigaMusic and Ultraplayer 
  from within Jekyll! (Ctrl-M, Ctrl-Cursors)
- Switches have been reassigned to four letters so their meaning is 
  clearer
- Made MiNT/MultiTOS compatible
- Chatlog, saves everything you and the remote type in a file
  (-cout, -c_in & -chat)
- Environment variable for configuration (JEKYLL=)
- Files can be automatically deleted when succesfully sent (^..)
- Screen routines imporved, now work a lot better when Jekyll's own screen
  routines have been turned off, no more juddery scrolling
- TT-ports can be used (-port)
- Cache size can now go up to 64K and caches are now dynamically allocated
- 4K-Caches for (chat)logfiles
- Jekyll now returns a return-code, it is the amount of kilobytes sent,
  this can be useful for level-calculations if BBS's use the host-mode
- Host-mode now by default OFF, some sysops complained about it being
  by default on
- Bug fixed that caused Freeze Dried to run Jekyll a few times when you
  installed it with an autostart-string and that caused QuickBBS to
  sometimes get incorrect descriptions like "Jekyll v1.32" etc.
- Many bugs fixed and other small features added....


You can get this file at ST QuickBBS Haarlem +31-23-340077 (JEKL137.LZH)
and I'll ftp it to atari.archive in a couple of days. There the name of the
file will be jekl137.arc.

Ta!
