BL> I saw it arrive this morning and burst into laughter again. It's a
BL> fabulous name. I called my Pascal version of zmodem BOZO and I thought
BL> that was pretty good, but RSEND is perfect! You owe it to posterity to
BL> make it the industry standard. You could start a Paul Edwards line of
BL> programs: RSEND, RSUP, RSWIPE... and for China, RSO.

Not to mention that it could be construed as standing for "Receive/Send".

BL> You're a long way short of being commercial, that's for sure! What
BL> the hell is the format of the cfg file... and what the hell is RSEND,
BL> anyway? I thought it was a zmodem rz/sz substitute.

The .cfg file has an example which I thought was self-explanatory. RSEND is
a front-end mailer.  It does the equivalent of your telemate devil-dialer,
ie it does the full negotiation, except it expects more than just .REQ to
be sent, it expects you to send the *.MO0 file, or create a suitable
directory and send *.*.  In turn,
you receive all your mail into the current directory.

BFN.  Paul.
