As a new CP/M user and new to ARPANET I need a little help.
I have all the MIT-MC directories obtained with FTP - and the
expanse in remarkable. I would like to have (wouldn't
we all) a good editor-assembler, disassembler, wordprocesser as
a minimum starting set. Are there any good ones in the list.
Knowing the names (and MIT devices) won't ,however do
it for me as I don't know how to download non-ASCII files.
I am a long time TRS80 MOD I user with LDOS system. This
has an excellant comm pgm 'LCOMM' but it can only handle ASCII.
I have downloaded .BIN files from ComPuServe with the program
MNETA (written by, I believe, Les Mikespell). I have MMODEM7
but have not as yet used it as my MAX80 has just arrived.
Would someone please recommend some good programs to start
with and give me instructions as to how to download .COM files.
