From: Tom Russell <EN301034%BROWNVM.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA> I have been trying to use Macterminal for Mac-to-Mac transfers for applications and find that the icon of the aplication ends up as the generic hand icon. The application functions properly, only the icon has been changed. I am using the Macterminal and Xmodem settings in the file transfer dialog box. If anyone has information on this, I would appreciate it. -Tom Russell Return-Path: <cornell!decvax!wanginst!vishniac@uw-beaver.arpa> Received: from uw-beaver.arpa by SUMEX-AIM.ARPA with TCP; Sat 2 Feb 85 11:01:54-PST Received: by uw-beaver.arpa (4.42/2.6) id AA04396; Sat, 2 Feb 85 06:01:18 PST From: cornell!decvax!wanginst!vishniac@uw-beaver.arpa Received: by gvax.ARPA (4.30/4.30) id AA04658; Sat, 2 Feb 85 05:32:26 est Received: by decvax.UUCP (4.12/1.0) id AA27970; Mon, 28 Jan 85 08:02:43 est Return-Path: <wanginst!vishniac> Received: by wanginst.UUCP (4.12/1.0) id AA14065; Mon, 28 Jan 85 08:01:23 est Date: Mon, 28 Jan 85 08:01:23 est Message-Id: <8501281301.AA14065@wanginst.UUCP> To: decvax!bellcore!allegra!ulysses!mhuxr!mhuxj!houxm!vax135!cornell!uw-beaver!info-mac Subject: Re: Macput References: <506@uw-beaver> I haven't seen a version of macput that handles wild cards, but there is a procedure called macsend that does, and invokes macput internally. Alas, the author didn't write his name within the script, and I've discarded the misc text from the original message. Will the real author please stand up? A copy follows: [ Also its archived in <info-mac>macsend.sh -jma ] #! /bin/sh # Shellscript for transmitting groups of files to a Macintosh via macput. # Invokes /bin/sh upon entry. # Files with the extension .rsrc will be sent as resource files using # the -r option. # Files with the extension .data will be sent as data files using # the -d option. # All other files will be sent as text files using the -u option. # This shellscript will ignore directories and files that are unreadable. # Wildcards may be used. Thus, to transmit all files beginning with # a capital letter, use "macsend [A-Z]*" # Upon termination of the operation, the Macintosh bell will ring # three times.

I find it quite annoying to have to upload files to my VAX one at a time (and manually to boot) through MACGET. Does anyone know of/or have a way to tell MacTerminal to upload a specified selection of files? Alternatively, will any of the other terminal emulator programs for the Mac allow this? By the way, MACSEND takes care of the downloading side of things quite nicely. Please respond directly to me and I will summarize to the net. Roy A. Standing roy@nlm-vax National Library of Medicine
