Gordon Preete say to Pete Granzeau:
The shareware version is only good for 45 individual days of use, then it
quits.  They intended the program to be commercial software, in a
shrinkwrapped box, sold in stores, unlike previous versions of Telix for
DOS, which generally were usable as comm programs in their shareware
version.  There were minor things that didn't work, but nothing major.

I should have this file on a floppy, which should still be good, as I
evaluated Telix at one time, due to all the discussion around the ultra
slow install that occurrs under certain operating system environments.
I'll check for that now.

Note the file sizes.  Also, that transfer was awlful fast, as if
something wasn't right with the zipping.  For now, I'll put the
TELIX351.ZIP (the others from the web site do check out here as OK) up
for file request from any nodelisted system so those sysops that want
a correct copy, feel free go grab it here for their users.  For those

Write your reply.

assistant: Bruce
 I have seen your comments about using wildcards to upload files.  Also
 comments about using scripts and the slow speed sometimes on the net
 when telnetting.
 I have been using TFW for a long time as a telnet client with no
 problem.  But I realize different connections can cause different
 problems.
 I just experimented with a little script that can be launched when you
 have received the prompt from the BBS to upload, that will I think do
 what you want to do.  You will have to change the path to match your
 setup.  I also am using a QWK door so extension is ".rep" if you are
 using BW packets change it to ".rep".  I did try it and it uploaded a
 reply packet and if you get this as now put together you will know it
 worked the second time.
 int transferstatus;
 main()
 { transferstatus = send('Z', "c:\telix\upload\*.rep");
  }
 In my case I assigned the script to one of the "ALT (number)" keys.
 This will not depend on the speed (or lack there of) of the internet as
 you will launch it when you have the prompt to start upload.  Also I am
 using Zmodem so if you are using something else change the "Z" to the
 proper letter for your protocol.
