[net.micro.cbm] C64 upload/download

jim@ltuxa.UUCP (Davis) (02/05/84)

I am looking for a set of programs to
allow me to upload/download files from
my c64 to UNIX. My wife wont let me
spend any more money for a printer, so
I would like to be able to upload my
programs to UNIX and then send them to
the line printer. If possible, I would
also like to be able to use the editors
on UNIX and then download the programs
back to disk on my 64.

Either post answers to the net as I am
sure others would be interested also,
or send mail directly to me.

Jim, when you find out anything please let me know.  I have
a VIC20 and would like to have the same capability.  One of
the things I would like is to be able to store the large
data set I need to use for my speech synthesis programs on
the main-frame disk.

Uploading files is easy.  Use the CMD and LIST statements to create an ASCII
version of your Basic programs on disk.  Then, you can write a short
(<30 lines) Basic program which will talk to the RS232 port, perform CBM's
ASCII to real ASCII translation, and copy the files from disk to the RS232.
This is the easiest way to go if you don't want to shell out $$$$ for a
printer.

   As a rule-of-thumb: (1) Obtain a printer BEFORE you get married; and

(2) Obtain SECOND disk drive before FIRST child comes along!!!!!!!!!!!!
