[net.micro.cpm] Batch file uploading query

James.Wendorf%cmu-cs-g@sri-unix.UUCP (11/03/83)

Does there exist a terminal program (such as MDM712) which runs on a Heathkit
H89 and is able to upload a batch of files to a VAX/UNIX system?  The UMODEM
program does not provide batch mode.

Kermit (from Columbia University - public domain, but they ask a $100
handling fee for a tape containing all versions) does bulk file transfers
- the command you give to the receiver is "RECEIVE", and the sender
sends the file name as part of the protocol (this has the disadvantage
that you can't choose different names for the received files, but you
can always change these later).  There exist versions for UNIX and
CP/M amongst many others, and among the CP/M versions is one for
the H89.

Kermit is available from Columbia University in the City of New York,
Center for Computing Activities, 612 West 115th Street, New York, NY 10025.
Point of contact is Daphne Tzoar, telephone 212-280-3703.
