I need some help uploading some files from the UNIX system here. Here is the problems: I am using a program that came with the modem I recently bought (Commodore 1670) to upload files from UNIX. The way I am doing it is this: I open up a disk file so that all characters transferred or received are also sent to this file. Then I just 'cat' the file to the screen. The problem is that with large files, after a while of transferring characters, the characters get garbled. I think it has something to do with the fact that it sends XOFF and XON very often when writing to the disk. All is set correctly to match the system (Baud 1200 parity even stops 1 wordlength 7) and the program itself allows you to adjust the baud slightly (with a 'baud rate factor') but it still doesn't work. What I'd like to know is: is there a good terminal program with a large enough buffer that can hold enough and when it gets full it dumps the buffer to an already open disk file, so as to reduce the number of times it has to send XOFF/XON and thus reduce errors (maybe even obliviate them!)? Preferably one which you can select whether or not it translates standard ascii to pet ascii. Or perhaps some other help with the program I already have. (BTW, It's called 'Common Sense' for those of you who might have heard of it). On another topic, does anyone know of a good VT100 terminal emulator for the 64 which can be 80 columns (or maybe this and the above in one!) - it certainly would be better than a VT52 emulator. I hope someone can help me on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Chris Gordon University of Waterloo | |...!watmath!watnot!cagordon | |CSNET:cagordon%watnot@Waterloo.CSNet | | | | "Welcome to the real world.
