I need to transfer massive numbers of files from floppies on a brand
X cp/m based micro to an IBM PC. I have modem 7 for the CP/M machine
is there a PC package that talks that language (specifically wild card file
transfers). Public domain is of course the only way to go.
how many times have you seen this
question? --- thanks...
If you find an answer, please broadcast it to the world as it is a real need.
We have transmitted dbaseII .cmd files using the IBM async package to
modem7xx buffer with good result. You may have to insert line feeds, then
remove them with your editor. The IBM package allows these options when
sending, but not receiving...grrrr. We packaged several files together.
The buffer in our version of mdm712 has about 34 or 35K Bytes available.
Its very easy to do.
