[net.micro.cpm] xmodem bulk transfers

rbloom@APG-1.ARPA (Robert Bloom AMSTE-TEI 3775) (08/20/86)

The 'work around' that I use to make bulk downloads from my unix
machine to my micro is to use MEX in the 'read' mode.  Goes something
like this:
	1. use mget for the simtel20 batch
	  2. copy a directory listing down to the micro
	3. while holding the line open, drop to a text editor on
the micro.
		delete the junk at the start and end of the file with
			the directory in it
		change all lines from 'filename' to 
			'sendout "umodem -sbl filename";r filename
		save it
	4. go back into mex and give the command 'read filelist' where
filelist has the modified file directory
	5. watch it go
Lots of capability with a read file - once I downloaded 50 files with
one command.
