This has probably been asked/answered a thousand times, but I don't look at this group... Is there any package for Apple ][ <--> Unix communications, in particular for uploading Apple ][ files to a Unix machine? Please respond by mail.. thanks Steve Crandall ihnp4!mhuxt!evans

Since UNIX does not support XMODEM, YMODEM, etc. you'll have to do ASCII transfers. If you have AE pro, it makes life a lot easier. To download, just put your copy buffer on (if it is a long file use the auto-write) & cat the file or whatever. To upload something, you'll have to send your file in ASCII format. Go into your favorite editor ( remember to set the autoindent to 0) and then use the AE command "S" to send in standard line form; remember to save the file after you're done. One more thing, if your text editor can't handle 1200 baud, since most people don't type that fast, use the "<" key to slow down the transfer. Hope this will work for you, and if anyone DOES have XMODEM, etc. for UNIX I'd like a copy of it. Thanks Augie Kuo - c55-gc@buddy.berkeley.edu kuo@miro.berkeley.edu

Many, many, UNIX machines have an X/YMODEM program. Usually they are
called rb and sb. Of course if you don't have one for the UNIX machine,
don't dispair, XMODEM is very simple to write (YMODEM is a bit more
complicated). Almost all Apple programs which allow file transfer
use XMODEM protocol (though possibly under the names of MODEM, MODEM2,
MODEM7 (with batch file mode), TERM-II FTP 3, or Christensen Protocol).
If anyone needs the documentation on the XMODEM protocol I'm sure I could
dreg it up without much of a problem.
