Hi,

As you maybe saw in a previous post I am developing a new link software for Windows 95.

I was suggested to implement data dump receive, so I thought about an easy-to-implement "mini-protocol", what about this:

BYTE/WORD	n = Length
n*BYTE	Data

Repeated until n is NULL.

Should n be a byte or a word? (Not doubleword anyway, I guess.)

I also think of implementing
* Data dump send, with the same protocol
* Data dump receive-until-user-says-stop, just receiving until a Stop button is pressed

Comments, ideas, suggestions?
