We are evaluating Red Ryder 7.0 as an alternative to MacTerminal 1.21. Please could someone tell us how to macput/macget with Red Ryder. Thank you Paul Skuce route from US ..!seismo!mcvax!ukc!reading!hatpoly route from Europe ..!ukc!reading!hatpoly

You can't. macput and macget talk specifically to the macintosh variation of xmodem protocol. Versaterm is supposed to the macintosh style.

I like RR enough to give up the ease of macget/put and go through the extra Binhex conversion step. I have to admit though that if I need to transfer a large file and don't have enough room to do the Binhex I dust off my old copy of Macterminal to do the file transfer and put it back in its little box right away so it doesn't get too tired. -- richard currier marine physical lab u.c. san diego {ihnp4|decvax|akgua|dcdwest|ucbvax} !sdcsvax!mplvax!rec

You cant use macput and macget, but it is very easy to download using either Kermit or xmodem. You need a very simple program to pad the .data and .rsrc files produced by xbin to multiples of 128 bytes (null padded). Then cat these files with .info to produce a .bin file. In other words: 1. pad file.data > tmp1; pad file.rscr > tmp2; cat file.info tmp1 tmp2 > file.bin The .bin file can then be downloaded with xmodtran (xmodem) or kermit. Red ryder will recognize a binary file and produce a very nice display showing the progress of the download. ...Michael Levy Department of Computer Science University of Victoria Box 1700, Victoria BC.
