    xprzmodem.library v3.51 for term programs and bbs's
  & xprzedzap.library v3.51 for mailers

    xprz351.lha    contains    AmigaGuide    documentation   as   well   as
68000/10/20/30/40 versions of both xprzmodem.library and xprzedzap.library.
These libraries all require WB2.1 or better and support language catalogues
via  locale.library.   A  French  catalogue  is available separately.  This
release merges the source levels of the two libraries so that both can take
advantage of all fixes and enhancements.

   XPRzedzap.library is an enhanced version of xprzmodem.library for use in
Mailers as well as BBSs and Terminal programs supporting XPR protocols.  It
provides multiple zmodem-derived protocols, including:
    Zmodem, ZedZip, ZedZap and DirectZap.  
  It  is  a complete replacement for xprzmodem.library, xprszmodem.library,
xprdzap.library and all previous versions of xprzedzap.library.

    XPRzmodem.library  is  also  enhanced  to provide the same protocols as
xprzedzap.library,  as well as support for SZmodem.  It is about 1K smaller
since  it  does  not  include  some of the special features required in FTN
operations.   This  version  should  be  used on systems that do not have a
mailer or where the mailer does not support XPR protocols.


  Installation problems:

  locale.library MUST be installed, as well as the directories that library
expects.

  It  has  been  noted  that  some Term programs and BBS's have a hardcoded
setup  for  xprzmodem.library.   In some cases the space reserved for setup
strings  is too small for the additional options in these libraries and the
host  may  crash.  If these programs have an external xpr setup option, use
that  instead.   This  method has been reported as solving the problem with
Ncomm.

  Some  term  programs and BBS's are not coded to the spec, but rather take
short-cuts  which  may  cause  that  program  to  hang when used with these
libraries. This problem has been reported with Excelsior BBS. 
  In particular:
  Setting  YY causes XPR2.001 return codes to be set.  These codes make use
of  all  32  bits  in  the  bitmap;  if  the host program only looks at the
low-order  16  bits  or  expects hardcoded values, it will fail.  Never use
this  option in a host that does not support it.  The only known hosts that
do support this option are DreamTerm and wpl.library.

    Fixes and Enhancements:

    o  REQUIRES wb2.1+
    o  Locale support.
    o  Defaults optimized for each library to permit MUCH shorter setup
       strings.
    o  XPR 2.001 support for dual-status windows.  
       Protocol now informs host that it supports XPR 2.001 extensions
       and double-buffering. Setup toggles this support and is by default
       disabled for xprzmodem.library and enabled for xprzedzap.library.
    o  XPR 3 callbacks register protection is installed
    o  XPR 3 xpr_updstatus function is enabled, permitting notification
       of transfer status for EACH file sent or received.
    o  Protocol name displayed will be one of: 
        Zmodem, 1K blocks standard
        SZmodem, up to 8K blocks
        ZedZap, up to 8K Blocks size based upon bps rate, ftn mode
        ZedZip, 1k blocks, ftn mode
        DirectZap, up to 8k blocks, minimum escaping, ftn mode
    o  Added status messages for resume
    o  A number of strings were not localized, corrected.  Also added
       localization for new options.  These are NOT translated for
       german catalog, so that catalog has been removed from distribution.
       Catalogues and documentation for other languages should be
       distributed separately. A French catalog is available.
   o  During batch transfers, Error message field is set to "None" when
      starting to send or receive next file.
   o  Improper variable names were used for some of the new options, causing
      unexpected results when used with Term.
   o  catalogue source is now also included in user distribution as well
      as source distribution.
