I just thought I would drop a comment in here about 'Comm Toolbox
Support'.
Quick History Lesson: There are three MAJOR pieces to the CommToolbox
(CTB) that application can take advantage of: 1) Connection Manager, 2)
Terminal Manager, and 3) Transfer Manager. There are also a number of minor
pieces including such funky things as the CommResource Manager, DITLTricks and
a nifty PopUpMenu CDEF....An applicaton can use ANY OR ALL of these pieces,
they are not an all or nothing deal...
VersaTerm/VersaTerm Pro in their latest incarnations (which are shipping
as I have seen them!) do not 'fully support' (whatever that means in this
context) the CTB, but they do indeed support the Connection Manager and the
Transfer Manager. Though I should also point out that Lonnie recommends that
you use his internal routines instead of the CTB whenever possible ;-)
