084.1	16K	MODEM7.DOC
084.2	14K	MODEM76.LIB
084.3	6K	MODEM76.SET
084.4	63K	MODEM765.ASM
084.5	10K	MODEM765.COM

These files comprise the MODEM package, latest revision.  Digital Research's
MAC macro-assembler is required for assembly.  This version incorporates
many bug fixes over the version released in CP/M UG Vol. 79.  Most users of
CP/M will be familiar with the MODEM program, originally written by Ward
Christensen, now greatly modified and enhanced by a variety of programmers.
For those not familiar with MODEM: this program, once customized to your
particular system hardware, will allow your system to act as a computer
terminal over the telephone lines.  In addition, MODEM uses a checksum/CRC
block transfer method of sending and receiving disk files over the phone
lines, with auto-retry on error, error reporting, counting, etc.  It is a
widely endorsed and used program which soon becomes an essential tool for
the serious microcomputer user.  [Note: Modem hardware IS required].


084.x	27K	RCPMLIST.25A	(Note: This file has been deleted)

This file is a list of Remote CP/M systems (as of May 1982) that offer
public domain software via telephone using the XMODEM program below
(or an earlier version -- they all work about the same as far as file
transfers are concerned).  The list is divided by geographic areas, with
notes as to the particulars of the system.  Some are part-time systems
available only during certain hours, others are 24-hour.  Some have large
disk capacities (even hard disk), some do not.  I suggest you sample
several RCPM's in your area to find one that suits your needs.  Many are
in areas served by MCI, SPRINT, CITYCALL, etc.


084.6	18K	SEQIO22.LIB
084.7	3K	XMODEM47.DOC
084.8	49K	XMODEM50.ASM
084.9	1K	XMODEM51.FIX

These files comprise the XMODEM package, a utility found on Remote CP/M (RCPM)
systems.  XMODEM uses the same protocol as MODEM, but is designed for use in
sending and receiving files only, with greatly simplified commands.  Version
5.0 implements a "logging" feature which "logs" the files sent and received,
the date and time (assuming your RCPM uses a clock/calendar of some sort),
and the name of the user sending or receiving (user data will be expected
in the file "LASTCALR" which is created by both the RBBS and SIGNON systems).
This feature, if enabled, will require assembly with Digital Research's MAC
macro-assembler.  If this feature is disabled, ASM.COM may be used.  If the
LASTCALR file is not found, no logging will take place.

Note: the XMODEM program will probably not be of great use to the average
user, but is included here so as to be grouped with similar programs.
XMODEM will be of interest to anyone who wishes to start an RCPM system.
