           Addendum to XferQ.library Developer's Documentation

        The Developer's Documentation does not indicate that a file will be
deleted  if  the session goes down without having sent it AND it was queued
with the user flags XQ_DELETE and XQ_IMMEDIATE.  This ftn-specific quirk is
used  by  wpl.library  to  delete those temporary packets it creates during
sessions  that  require  a  dummy or poll packet.  However this specificity
violates the multi-network nature of xferq.library.

        Since  wpl.library  source is not yet available, it is not possible
the  correct  it  so  that  it respects is responsibiity to delete it's own
temporary  files.  Therefore, this version of xferq.library ADDS a new user
flag  to insure that one IS able to queue a file in immediate mode with the
confidance that it will NOT be deleted if it is not sent.

        This  new  user  flag is XQ_IFSENT.  It only comes into play IF the
session  goes  down  without  sending  the  file.   If  both  XQ_DELETE and
XQ_IMMEDIATE  are true, and XQ_IFSENT is TRUE, the file will NOT be deleted
if it has not been sent.

        These  changes  shouls  be  both  compatible and transparent to all
applications.   Only  those applications that followed the documentation will
have to be changed.
