Subject: Re: Linking Xerox 860s to PCs

John - the 860, if set-up for communications can send/rec ascii files from the
word processor side of the machine.  As far as sending CP/M files, I don't
know.

One gotcha on the WP files.  Xerox screwed around with the proportional 
space handling on the 860.  If you use proportional and justification, you
can get one or two extra characters on a line (e.g., 72 on a 70 character
line.).  This really messes things up if you are trying to move a justified
document from the 860 to another machine and edit it on the second machine.
The easy way around this is dondon't use proportional space and justification
on any document you want to transfer.

Hope this helps.
