Greetings,
A buddy and i were trying to send a file between us using Vara FM, with him using Vara Chat and me using VarAC. All I ever saw on the VarAC screen was:
NJ3H> <SF:new 3.txt.VarAC_gzip|29|FE69FA38CED280DB9DFEF2401AA4FF8C>
The file never sent. When I tried sending another file, I received a message that theyre was already a file being send. The file was only 200 bytes.
So then we tried sending the file after disconnecting and restarting with both of using VaeAC. We go to the same point. There was no on-screen confirmation or log entry that said the file was sent. My friend did not receive the file.
Then we both shut down VarAC and then both of us used Vara Chat. The file was sent successfully.
So some questions/comments:
I do not understand why the file would not transfer with both of us using VarAC. Any thoughts?
Are Vara Chat and VarAC compatible with each other for file transfer?
3. With my friend using Vara Chat an me using VarAC, he would see &IT& show up on his screen frequently along with actual text send from me while we were connected. What does &IT& stand for?
Any help will be most appreciated.

Please find my answers below:
Appearntly when you moved from the mixed mode to the VarAC only mode - there were leftovers in your buffer. You need to start from scratch as the mixed mode probably messed up the trasnfer. But I believe the real reason is for the file receiving partner - did not notice there was a popup asking for confirmation for the file transfer. Try again from scrtach and it will work.
No. the only compatability is around simple chatting. all other features of VarAC in VarAC protocol.
this is the "IS TYPING" events sent. THis is a VarAC feature. does not reflect on the VaraChat side.
