********* Welcome to Project 64! The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8- bit computers on the part of the general population. If you would like to help by converting C64 related hardcopy documents to electronic texts please contact the manager of Project 64, Cris Berneburg, at 74171.2136@compuserve.com. Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original document. However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due to the limitations of plain vanilla text. Diagrams may have been eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible. Program listings may be missing display codes where substitutions were not possible. Tables of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number references to section number references. Please accept our apologies for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions. Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension. The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material for any purpose. This etext is provided "as-is". Please refer to the warantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this etext. No other warantees, express or implied, are made to you as to the etext or any medium it may be on. Neither the author(s) nor the members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of or modification to this etext. ********* The Project 64 etext of the CBterm Punter Protocol overlay manual. Converted to etext by anonymous, obtained from either The Ranch (Harold Robbins), WireNuts (Jim Dillard), or Enterprise (Tom Hoot) BBS's in Austin TX. The original document was called "pntr.doc", supplied by Tom Hoot . CBTPNT10.TXT, July 1996, etext #56. ********* CBTPNT Ver 1.0 CBterm Punter Protocol overlay routine. (c) 1985 by Chrisdos CBterm (c) 1985 by Chrisdos. All rights reserved. CBTPNT is an overlay routine to be used with CBterm/C64. It will replace the normal XMODEM protocol with NEW Punter protocol for Up and Downloading. To use this file, first load CBTPNT,8,1 (It loads into $C000 high memory. Then load CBterm,8 and run. CBterm will find CBTPNT in memory, and if all is ok, the version number will be V4P5. Use CBterm normaly with any bbs using punter protocol. To transfer files: 1) Request the BBS to do a file transfer. 2) When the BBS is ready to transfer, press C= U (upload) or C= N (download) 3) You will be prompted for the filename and type by CBterm. Enter the info. 4) If you are transfering a Seq file, you will be prompted for (A)scii or (P)etscii modes, IGNORE THIS and press A. This relates to the way XMODEM transfers files and has no function in Punter. Punter protocol does not do any file translations and what you send is what you receive. 5) You will be prompted for the Block Size to use in the transfer, this should agree with the size the BBS is using. You may have sizes of 40,64,128, or 255. Press a 4 for 40, 6 for 64, 1 for 128, or any other key for 255. 6) The transfer will begin and you will see the progress line on the screen. A "-" means a good block transfered. A ":" means the block was resent as its checksum was wrong. A "*" means the last files are almost always in Ascii. Any other questions or comments, please leave a message to SYSOP in the CBIG SIG. (GO CBIG) Thank you. -Chrisdos CBIG SYSOP [76703,717] ********* The end of the Project 64 etext of the CBterm Punter Protocol overlay manual. *********
