user: You are replying to All about "R: Telemate Wishes".

Write your reply.

assistant: Telemate Wish List.
Aside from the usual wish of a 32 bit Win95 version, I'd like to be able
to:
Sort the Tools without reentering.  Such as clicking and gragging the
Tool to the position you want.
Place Tools on the Button bar using the native or user selectable icons.
Click and drag sorting of the dialing directory.
Have a highpowered host most with ring-through capability (ie you call,
let it ring once, hang-up, and the modem answers on the next call within
one minute).  It would be nice to set Telemate up at work so I can dial
in to do simple file management/retrieval, or let people leave messages.
Multiple file bases would be nice too for distributing files I suggest
to clients and friends.
That's about it for now.  My uses are rather simple and Telemate
fulfills most of my wishes already.

 Congratulations on TMW110 & TM421!  TMW is vastly improved in transfer
 speeds, lack of errors, and "the beloved Ins Key".  TM421 is not that
 big an improvement but just "feels" better.  Having played with all the
 TMW betas, ver 1.10 has made to the ranks of fine programming!

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks for the suggestion. I receive similar suggestion before. However,
the WHENDO is very difficult to implement because it works kind of like
a interrupt service routine. And you can have a WHENDO inside a WHENDO
and it becomes very complicated.
cript,
If you want an exact match, you can something like this:
 WAITFOR "^M^JEnter command: ^M",0
Hope this help.

Write your reply.

assistant: It looks as if you can actually see it redrawing the lines of text.  For
a split second you can see two lines of the same text while the line is
being moved up.
There is also a flickering that looks as if individual characters on the
screen are being updated.  Just a very, very quick little blinks, but
enough to be distracting.
I'm not sure how to explain it other than that.  It kind of reminds me
of the way many Quick BASIC programs would flicker when writing to the
screen.

assistant: Hy,
i got a problem with Telemate Ver 4.2 for Dos. When I try to upload files in
a internal z-modem batch with over 50MB Telemate send only about 46MB to the
BBS. Is this a regular Limitation? With Terminate I can send 90MB without any
Probs!
Another Problem is this ugly limitation by using external Protocols as Hydra
or HS-Link. I can send only a few files in a batch. This was still a Problem
in early Versions of Terminate. With Terminate Ver 3.0 it's fixed.
I think this is a problem of not enough conventionel memory Telemate needs
much memory for itself! I must load lots of drivers for ISDN support.
Whats about the German 4.2 ... under construction?
Whats about Direct Capi support ... important in Germany!
I love Telemate for the good scripts and the excellent scrollback/edit
multitasking.
But I MUST use Terminate cauze this limitation by uploading files. I think
Telemate is a transfertool!
Thanks for a little Help. And sorry for my bad English ;)
