----------- PMSPX 1.0 --------------

Hello all! 

This is version 1.0 of PMSPX which is a FTP-like
application for OS/2 that uses the Novell SPX protocol for 
its transport mechanism.  It was written using Borland C++
for OS/2 version 2.0 utilizing Borlands OWL for window/dialog
functionality.  Basically this was written to test my socket
class that I wrote for the SPX protocol.  With enough 
encouragement I might be willing to port this application to
Windoze (3.1/95) if there is any interest.  I've tested it
as much as I could and it is only as stable as Borlands OWL,
so you might encounter a random SYS3175 error which is
generated due to a screw up in the OWL code from Borland.

Please send any feedback you might have to cliffd@albany.net

1) Programs

There are two programs that should have come in the zip file...
	PMSPXSND.EXE and PMSPXREC.EXE
as I'm sure that you guessed one is the receiver and one is the
sender.  On the receiver end all you need to do is start the
PMSPXREC program and forget it.  The sender program requires a
couple more steps.  If your two workstations are on the same
physical LAN segment you don't need to know anything else.  You
might have a situation where the Sender and Receiver are on 
different physical networks, if this is the case you will need
to know at the very least the physical network number that the
receiver is on.  If you have multiple receivers on the network
you will also need to know the MAC address of the machine you
are trying to send files to, or the sender will just send to the
first listener it finds.  Once the connection is made you can send
files (currently one at a time) from the send menu option.  The 
first time that you start a connection with the receiver the 
connection should establish fairly quickly, if you exit the sender
and leave the receiver running the next time that you connect will
take a little longer.  This is due to the SPX Watchdog packet 
timeout parameter in the Novell SPX protocol, so just give it a 
few seconds to timeout and re-establish the link.
