#R:sri-arpa:-1420200:uiucuxc:27600002:000:862 uiucuxc!delong Dec 3 17:58:00 1983 ------------------ I need to transfer massive numbers of files from floppies on a brand X cp/m based micro to an IBM PC. I have modem 7 for the CP/M machine is there a PC package that talks that language (specifically wild card file transfers). Public domain is of course the only way to go. how many times have you seen this question? --- thanks... ----------------- If you find an answer, please broadcast it to the world as it is a real need. We have transmitted dbaseII .cmd files using the IBM async package to modem7xx buffer with good result. You may have to insert line feeds, then remove them with your editor. The IBM package allows these options when sending, but not receiving...grrrr. We packaged several files together. The buffer in our version of mdm712 has about 34 or 35K Bytes available. Its very easy to do. Carl DeLong

From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA> I know this has circulated before, but since there is another question about it-- I have used PC-Talk Version 3 on an IBM PC under PC-DOS to transfer files with CP/M machines running MODEM7. PC-Talk supports the MODEM7/XMODEM/Christenson (sp?) protocol for single file transfer, but not batch transfer. It has worked fine for me at 9600 baud. PC-Talk is "freeware", which means you can copy and distribute it for free, but the author would appreciate your sending him $35 if you like it. If you do this, you will get updates in the future. I got my copy for free from the local IBM PC users group. If you want to transfer to the IBM running CP/M-86, that's another matter, which I have not yet confronted. However, I did bring up "cmodem.c" (from the SIMTEL archives) on a Zenith Z-100 running ZDOS (MS-DOS) and the Lattice C compiler. Presumably you could get it to run under CP/M-86 by using the DRI C compiler or another one. Good luck. If you need more info, contact me. Mike Ciaraldi ciaraldi@rochester
