"so what the hell's new Pearson..?"
dedicated to geeks who view zips online.. ( like me.. )
You can now register your Powernode via VISA/MC from the
Bytebrothers Support Door on DataWarp BBS in Broken Arrow
Oklahoma. This is also the support board for Eric Cockrell's
EZReader program for Interlink/Relaynet mail doors.
Registration for Powernode is $10, $20 for two free upgrades.
Please register the program if you use it.
DataWarp BBS (918) 455-5544 24 hrs. HST Dual
PCBoard 14/ Interlink Network
Official Qmodem Distribution Site.
Please have your VISA/MC card number and expiration date. A
door selection from the main menu will take you directly into
the Bytebrother's registration door. Comments are appreciated,
and are accepted inside the door.
Elliot Jackson's enhancement to the Bytebrothers patented
"Drunkman Download System", DRUNKCUT is included with Powernode
to allow you to run a tsr that will capture filenames from your
screen when online to a bbs, and automatically append them to
your bimodem transfer set. Just install and activate via
alt-tab and you can tag files directly off the screen when
online to the bbs system, and they will automatically be added
to your bimodem download request that you start with Powernode.
Since the routine is tsr it is available at any time with any
com program anywhere.

║ About Powernode Revision i.. ║
╚═══════════════════════════════╝
Revision i adds full support for the new PUMA transfer protocol
by Matt Thomas the author of Lynx. This is an exciting
protocol. It is fast, colorful, and handles high speed modems
with great speed and grace. Puma single file uploads, batch
uploads, and batch/single downloads are fully supported. And
the file transfer sets you program with the [C] option from the
main menu are totally compatible with the Puma protocol. The
Puma command line is brought into the PNODE.CFG file so if you
want to customize your puma installation just edit the .CFG file.
Full support is now added for Ymodem-G, including the same
batch upload ability provided for the other power protocols
thru the [C]reate option in the main menu. And the programming
of upload filesets.
MobyTurbo is supported with a switch that toggles it on or off.
The switch will stay set until you manually reset it again. And
the MobyTurbo status is always displayed on the Transfer
Protocol menu window. Enabling MobyTurbo enables it not only in
the upload/download windows, but also in the [S]hell to DSZ
option from the main menu. MobyTurbo is fully supported in the
DSZ shell. MobyTurbo is an enhancement to DSZ-90 the new DSZ
Zmodem release and is available in DSZ releases after 01/22/90.
If you use an earlier version do not enable MobyTurbo since DSZ
doesn't know what the hell to do with the command and will
squawk at you.
Support has been added to trigger Peter Norton's Disk Sort
utility from the transfer window, on the upload directory. Or
any directory you want to specify. Merely place DS.EXE form the
Norton Utilities in the directory with Powernode and the [S]ort
option will automagically appear on the screen in the Protocol
Window. The Norton Utilities (tm) is commercial software owned
and sold by Peter Norton and available at computer software
stores across the country.
In like manner inserting Gordon Haff's excellent Directory
Freedom DF.COM in the directory with Powernode will change the
old [F]iledir prompt at the main menu into [F] Directory
Freedom. Directory Freedom is an excellent little file
management system, that in point of fact blows away the
internal system in Boyan, or any other com program. And it's
one keystroke away from Powernode. When done in Freedom by
hitting escape you are returned to Powernode's main menu.
Directory Freedom is available as DF302.ZIP on bbs systems and
is Shareware. And Gordon deserves the modest registration.
Crater Rim's Jmodem Batch has been dropped since it is still
screwed up on every board I can find except the authors. It's
awesome watching a batch transfer when the second file comes up
listed as 498 meg in size, and you seem to remember it was only
18k in the file listing.
47 other substantial changes have been made to the program in
this revision that I won't elaborate on. It has been tested
extensively with 14.4k modems and 38k locked ports and fine
tuned for performance with fast iron and fire modems.
