===============================================

Introduction
------------

A small program which calculates the amount of time to transfere files. It
can be used in a modem situation, or even for transfere of data to a disk
(~10K/s).

Usage
-----

FILESIZE/N/A,MEGABYTES=M/S,KILOBYTES=K/S,BYTES=B/S,CPS/N/K,BAUD/N/K:

Set the speed of transmission by the CPS or BAUD keywords.


The best way of showing how to use it is by example:


4.Ram Disk:> mc 256 k cps=230

It would take: 18 mins, 59 secs to download 256K, at 230 CPS.

Notice in the above example that the "k" makes the number 256 Kilobytes, and
the "cps=230" is the characters per second (as often shown on terminal
programs).

4.Ram Disk:> mc 5 M baud=28800

It would take: 24 mins, 16 secs to download 5M, at 3600 CPS.

It is also possible to set the speed by baud, or bits per second (bps). This
information is often displayed on the modem. This will only give you the
correct results if compression is off, and there are no transfer overheads
(eg. Z-Modem protocol).

It is best to set the speed by the CPS, as it will give better results.
