[net.micro.cpm] Need help with Epson PX-8 binary file transfers

rlm@drutx.UUCP (MesenbrinkRL) (04/15/85)

I just got an Epson PX-8 and want to be able to transfer
binary files from my Osborne. Currently, I convert the
file to ASCII codes, send that file and use a BASIC
program on the Epson to convert it back again. This works
fairly well but there must be an easier way. If MDM7 can
transfer binary files, I'd like a copy of a PX-8 overlay.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

There is a MEX overlay for the PX-8 on Simtel in the MICRO:<CPM.MEX>
directory. If you can't FTP the overlay, send me a note and I can give
you an address so you can send me a cassette.
