Subject: Still having problems with XFER51
I'm trying to use XFER V5.1 to copy files from my PC (Windows XP Pro) to a
BBC B. I have also tried the "C" version of that programme, and it gives the
same results, that is, I'm getting a lot of files with file lengths of 12
bytes, and some files are not transferred at all. The files are from a ZIP
archive of the WELCOME disc.
Here's the session from running XFER51.
XFER.EXE: Transfers files in archive format (with .inf file) to and
from BBC computers via a serial link.

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be grateful.
Obviously, the serial link is working, since I can do a *CAT and get a
directory of the disc in the BBC.
The BBC has OS1.20, DSF 0.9E, and has 32K of ram.
