GetSend: a 115.2K baud xfer Utility

Files are in this archive: GetSend (for the Amiga)
GetSend.exe (for the IBM PC Family)
Getsend.doc (what you are now reading)
Purpose
-------
These can used to effect 115.2 Kilobaud xfers using the standard serial
port on the Amiga and port1 (0x3f8) of the Ibm PC. It should work between
2 Amigas, 2 Ibm's or an Amiga and IBM (I've only tested it this way but..)
Usage is the same for both..
getsend <file1> <file2> .. ..
If no argument is given, receive mode is initiated and the other computer
supplies the file names for transfer. The best way to invoke these is to
initiate the send and then the receive.. you only have several seconds before
a timeout will occur and it will then return to your command shell.
To achieve this 115.2 rate, the user is locked out from the machine during
transfer (although on a ibm, it doesn't reallly matter .. does it?)
Disclaimer
----------
Although I've had no problems with it, there are no guarantees or
warranties of any kind.. You use it entirely at your own risk..
Future
------
Soon there will be enhanced versions with a GUI and other perks, and
will be released jointly for the Amiga and IBM, supporting basic term
functions and some enhanced features.
