IPXXFER v2.0
Written by Ron Dunlevy
September 29th, 1995

At last here is version 2.

Whats new?
~~~~~~~~~~

- Slightly faster
	- Will do sub-directories
	- Overwrite control answerable on either the sending or the receiving
	  side

How do I use it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For Sending:
	IPXXFER [/s] filename.ext
	
		/s - will send the files in the sub-directories under the 
		     current directory also

filename.ext - is any valid filename. (examples: ron.txt,
			       *.txt, ro*.tx*, etc.)
			     - sorry no support for the ? wildcard :(

For Receiving:
	IPXXFER (no parameters)

- files will be placed in current directory
		- sub-directories will be created beneath current 
		  directory

How do I use the overwrite prompt?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a file exsist on the target machine, both machines will
	ask you if the file should be overwritten. The valid choices are
	A, Y, N. If you enter A, the file will be overwritten, and ALL
	future files will be overwritten without the prompt. Y means yes 
	overwrite this file, and N means no, skip this file. Either side can 
	answer at anytime.

What's next?
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who the hell knows.....    I may be switching jobs, so I might 
	actually get the time to make this a better program. I'd like to
	add a CRC check, 'cause every-once-in-a-while a file comes over
	not quite done. I'd also like to add the following:

-Support for the serial port
	-Make it possible for an InterLink type usage... ya know, access
	 the files and the target as if they were on your own PC....
	-Support for the ? character.. I thought I did this on this version
	-Multiple target PCs. One source suppling more than one target.

How to reach me...

email: RonDu@aol.com
I check email every day and I like to hear +/- comments about this program.
They help me to know if other people are getting the same good use out 
this program as I do. It also helps me figure out the direction this program
should take. So drop me a line....

Once again.... this program is freeware. If you feel you absolutly have to
pay money for it... I'll take $5.00 (US) or what ever you feel like paying...
Or you or can pay by way of installments.... ;)
