- Qmodem (Config, Files, Path Definitions)
  * Upload
  * REP / OUT Directories
- OLX (Options, Directories)
  * REP/OUT
Suggestion:  Make sure the mail door on the BBS you're using
supports file attacahments using the Wildcat protocol; if not any
attached files go to the bit bucket.  :-(  Check the QMPro manual
on the how-to details for attaching a file to a message.  If
possible work with a friend to interchange test messages with
small files to see the how-to in action.

Write your reply.

assistant: If that is the version you have it should not be a problem.  Look in your
main QModem directory for a directory called ICONS.  That would be where you
would place the RIP Graphic icons.  As long as the board you are connecting
to has RIP graphics and you have told it you want RIP graphics both in your
Dailing Directory setup for that board, and in the BBS setup screen, there
should be a place to specify if you want RIP, ASCII or what.  You will also
have to go to the directory screen in setups and specify that ICONS is the
directory where you have the RIP Icons stored, almost forgot that part.  Good
luck.
I am using an old 286 and have been able to get RIP graphics to work, but it
is so slow I have gone back to ASCII just to keep from tying up the BBS for
too long waiting for a screen to draw.

assistant: * Crossposted from: WINDOWS95F
 Thanks folks on helping me with scheduler ideas.
 But I found an excellent program called SkedEzy Pro, it's only
 24.95 and a registered version can be found from the TOPline Website.
 Not only can you schedule a program to run at a certain time, it
 will also schedule reminders, make them hourly, daily or whatever and
 the greatest feature I found, it even lets you put it off for as long
 as you want when it pops up and reminds you of something, a great
 little todo list, something else I was looking for.
 So I can now schedule my QmodemPro V2.10 to run at certain time, get
 the script to run and upload/download my messages, etc, etc.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Write your reply.

assistant: this is common to any kind of zmodem transfer, no matter what kind of comm
program you have.  it has to do with which modem has control of the flow, so
in general your d/l will go faster than u/l if you have a good modem.  there
is usually a difference of 20 cps between d/l and u/l on my system.  if there
is a considerable change in speed on your system, just check and make sure
you have cts/rts and the other proper settings selected.  if that doesnt
help, ask the person you are connecting with to use cts/rts (hardware flow
control).

assistant: well, it wasnt long ago that the qm for win95 was released.  another modern
comm program is the procomm plus for win95 (version 3 or 4?).
this is the age of inet.  dont expect much else in the way of new comm
programs, the market is not profitable.  i prefer to use the old dos
programs, if you like you can get the new windoze ones.  they do the same
thing, only they are more bloated, and do not use full screen.  pick a
version of qmodem and be happy.

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have put ^M at the end of
some macros I use for varios things, and it works. The ^M command means
to hit enter, which then allows the command string in the macro to be
invoked. So, you might want to give that a shot.  Hope it works for you.

So try the following settings that I use. They are for a 14.4 kbps
