I think I'm onto something. There are two networks to attach to my
local unix host from the dialer. Now on either network, ZTERM 0.80 can
auto-receive. However, only on one of them can WK auto-receive! This is
the same host, same login, same WK session -- I can hit three pluses, dial
in, use network #1 to my (same) login, and WK wit auto-receive quite
happily. (Well, almost; the status box doesn't show effieiency, "of" size
(this is the total size of the file), or the percentage. In these fields
WK displays "???".) Three pluses, login to network #2, WK refuses to auto-
receive.
I am just guessing, but I think that some unix systems (or the attached
network) are translating linefeeds and carrage-returns. From the WK manual,
it seems that WK needs the string "rz^M" and not "rz^J". Other control
characters may be stuffed in there two.
If so, then perhaps using a pre-emulation filter to strip out the ^Js might
work. Can anybody out there test this (or rule it out as a cause)? Also,
does anybody know why WK doesn't seem to know the size of the file it's
downloading?
