Russ, I was under the impression that the host end would not even realize
that there were multiple files being transferred. In order to make it
protocol independent, the host end must recieve a single transfer consisting
of one or more files strung together. To do multiple transfers to a host
consisting of many files that are to be stored independently would require
knowledge on the host end or a simulation between transfers of all the
necessary comands to set up each file.
In the case of two terminals supporting Amigabinary, the problem of stopping
in mid stream could be tricky, depending on the presence or absemce of a
total crc/checksum for the entire block that could be part of a protocol
definiton.
