[net.micro.cpm] xmodem on cpm

djt@houxk.UUCP (Dave Trulli NN2Z) (06/05/86)

Does anyone know of an xmodem program for cpm that
runs on the console port. It seems to me that 
the bbs xmodems are written to interface with bye
in a bbs enviroment. I am using my pc as the console
terminal on my cpm system. I would like to xmodem files
between them without needing another terminal or lots of cable
switching. This would be like umodem on unix.

Yes, XMODEM is what you want.  It does not require the BYE program.
It's available from SIMTEL20 as:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 CRC

Directory PD:<CPM.RCPM>
XMDM124.LBR.1			BINARY	113792  4437H

If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 because of network restrictions
it's also available on my RCP/M Royal Oak (MI) which may be accessed
at 300 bps (Bell 103a), 1200 bps (Bell 212a), or 2400 bps (V.22 bis).
The telephone number is (313) 759-6569.  It can also be found on the
CP/M RoundTable on General Electric Information Services' GEnie.

You'll need a hardware overlay, which you'll find in XMDM-OVL.LBR.
Chose the appropriate one for your computer's I/O port arrangement.
