Welcome to JLBlink

  JLBlink is designed to help you get the most out of the time you spend
  with BIX.  It does this by automating a large portion of your BIX sessions
  with blink scripts.  The blink scripts necessary to log on and off BIX via
  Tymnet or direct, and to download messages and mail come with JLBlink.  It
  generates all the blink scripts necessary to upload messages and mail.  In
  addition, with one single command execution, JLBlink will log on BIX,
  download all your new messages and memos, upload all new messages and
  memos that you have composed, and then log off BIX, with no required
  interaction from you.

  JLBlink also builds your own BIX Data Base from the messages and memos you
  receive from BIX.  It automatically builds and updates an index of new
  messages and mail, which gives you the ability to read the messages, at
  your convenience, in the order you want.




  The Communication Link

  JLBlink comes equipped with an intelligent Communication Link to help you
  send and receive files (messages and memos) to and from BIX.   The
  Communication Link is designed specifically to interface with BIX in an
  efficient and easy manner.  The Communication Link provides all the tools
  necessary to interface with BIX either fully automatic, semi-automatic, or
  manually.

  The process the Communication Link uses to interface with BIX is known as
  "Blinking".  The process of blinking is used to get on- and off-line as
  quickly as possible.  Blinking is an efficient method to interface with
  BIX because it not only reduces the amount of time that you stay on-line,
  it also reduces the total amount of characters that are transmitted and
  received during a typical session.





  The Editor

  JLBlink integrates a versatile screen oriented Editor into its Post
  commands to help you compose and edit the messages and memos that you wish
  to send to BIX.  You can import text into the Editor, and also use it
  while on-line with BIX.  You can even have each message "signed"
  automatically.
