Marc, Keith has been doing some work on commercial programs (paid work, that is) and has had some other distractions that have kept him from getting out the next version of Access. He says maybe, before too long. Betty

Marc, I've just recently gotten back to work on Access! 1.xxx (undecided rev. number as of yet). I just finished adding CIS B+ protocol (with auto-download resume), a very functional ARexx interface, a few design changes in the filerequester, phone-book and DEFINE window(s) and have Xmodem 1K, YModem and Zmodem well under-way. I'm not sure if the X1K/Y/Zmodem(s) will make it into the 'next' release, but expect to be testing then posting a new version within the next week or so. Thanks for your (and everyone else's) patience, Keith

GREAT!!!!! I am SO happy to hear that! I really hope ZMODEM makes it into the next version, 'cause that's the only thing I need more in it. I won't need to upgrade to OnLine! Platinium after all. BTW, do you accept Canadian money? Marc! WOW!

Yes, I have several Canadian users… the best thing to do is send either a personal check or a money order. And Thanks! Keith

Well, I'll send money.. as soon as I see the next version. Marc!

Wonderful news! I asked Steve this but I'll ask you too. QB doesn't seem to coexist with Access! and MNP level 4. Would you happen to know if that's a QB restriction or an Access! restriction (or an MNP restriction)? Rick

Hmm… I'm not sure, I hadn't heard of that problem yet. I know that the QB in Access! (1.42) started not working real well all of the time when CIS made the switch to B+… this new B+ is working well, so maybe that'll fix it. Keith

I just checked; if it makes a difference, I'm running 1.41, not 1.42. I don't have any problems with QB and 1.41 with no MNP, but it dies with. Steve says QB and MNP coexist happily, so Access! must be the variable in the equation. Tell me (and forgive this if it's a silly question; I haven't looked at the QB protocol): do the characters for the QB introducer all have to be received within a given time period? I'm wondering if you're timing out due to the packetizing of MNP or somesuch. The symptom is that I see the introducer characters come to the screen as if they are never recognized by Access!; I.E., "QB#&<filename>etc" or somesuch. Does that give you any ideas? Or should I just go grab a copy of 1.42? Thanks for the assistance. Rick
