Short: Update to xferq.library Author: robert@ecs.mtlnet.org (Robert Williamson) Uploader: robert ecs mtlnet org (Robert Williamson) Type: comm/fido Architecture: m68k-amigaos Addendum to XferQ.library Developer's Documentation The Developer's Documentation does not indicate that a file will be deleted if the session goes down without having sent it AND it was queued with the user flags XQ_DELETE and XQ_IMMEDIATE. This ftn-specific quirk is used by wpl.library to delete those temporary packets it creates during sessions that require a dummy or poll packet. However this specificity violates the multi-network nature of xferq.library. Since wpl.library source is not yet available, it is not possible the correct it so that it respects is responsibiity to delete it's own temporary files. Therefore, this version of xferq.library ADDS a new user flag to insure that one IS able to queue a file in immediate mode with the confidance that it will NOT be deleted if it is not sent. This new user flag is XQ_IFSENT. It only comes into play IF the session goes down without sending the file. If both XQ_DELETE and XQ_IMMEDIATE are true, and XQ_IFSENT is TRUE, the file will NOT be deleted if it has not been sent. These changes shouls be both compatible and transparent to all applications. Only those applications that followed the documentation will have to be changed. robert@ecs.mtlnet.org bobw@amigaecs.1choice.login.qc.ca
