Hydra/3  is  a confident solution for including the bi-directional HydraCom
transfer  protocol  into  CNet/3.  HydraCom allows your users to upload and
download at the same time; while as a bonus they can chat with you.


Following is a list of features Hydra/3 offers:

o  Reads CNet's selectlist and creates Hydra sendlist
o  Transfers  run  over  a  temporary dir - no orphan files in any subboard
   when transfer gets interrupted!
o  Fully  aware of *ALL* influences on transfer, such as byte/file credits;
   daily bytes/files; disabled ratios; etc.
o  Analyses Hydra's result-log for filenames & sizes
o  Adds uploaded files into CNet's dirlisting; files are online immediately
   after successful transfer! 
o  Describes uploaded files the normal way, thus you can use your preferred
   File_ID.diz processor or whatever! 
o  Sysop only must move files from tempdir to the final location 
o  Gives correct upload credits depending on users ratio  
o  Updates _Items3 datafile for correct file/credit manipulation 
o  Writes CNet conform into the up/download logfile 
o  Fully aware  of  carrier  losses  &  resumable files; writes automail &
   prompts user for upload resume! 
o  utterly  easy installation, needs very few configuration; only 2 changes
   to  your  bbstext,  1  extra subboard, 1 change in the main program, and
   you're ready to burn something! 
o  Localized.  Multiple language output possible!   
o  Fully  multiline aware, gets the devicename and unitnumber of the serial
   from CNet's main configuration. 
o  Optionally increases file's download counter 
o  Can cope with read only media (CD-Temp aware) 
o  deactives yet don't purges waiting OLM's during transfer
