[net.micro.cpm] generic Kermit-80 binary xfer ok

ogasawar%marlin@nosc.ARPA (Todd H. Ogasawara) (04/09/85)

Thanks to all who responded to my question about binary transfer
using generic Kermit for CP/M-80.  Rex Buddenberg supplied the
big big clue to my much sought after answer.  I am embarrassed to
say that the following is all that needs to be done to make
binary transfers work.

	C-Kermit side
		set file mode binary
		set parity even		{never thought of changing
					 from none to even!}
	Kermit-80 side
		set file-mode binary
		set parity even		{default is none}

I've tested sending and receiving a couple of binary files.  Seems
to work fine.  Thanks to all who sent suggestions!..todd

It should work if you just do "set parity space" in C-kermit (this turns on
the 8th-bit quoting mechanism).
