[net.micro.cbm] Transfering CBM files on the net.

   I now have xmodem protocol programs for both UNIX and my C-64. So I can
transfer files back and forth. It would nice to be able to exchange
programs over the net.
   I have a couple of ideas on ways to do this:

   1. For any type of file - translate the binary into a file that is
      compatible with Commodore object files. There are several loaders
      available that can translate this format back into binary. The
      program to translate into this format would have to be written.

   2. For BASIC programs only - LIST the BASIC program out to a SEQ file
      Transfer the ASCII file, and convert back to BASIC. I have a 
      public domain program from Compuserve to do this. There may be
      problems with Commodore PIGASCII in this method.

Any other Ideas on this?
