I moved shell version 2.02 to an Amiga w/ kermit and DBW's vt100 and the transfer seemed to work, but when I try to execute the shell I get a 'insufficient memory error'. No guru. This is with 1.1, 512k, one drive, maybe 40k in ram but with c: still assigned to Workbench: (I type ram:dir when I need to). I type in df0:(or whatever)shell and I get a message that there isn't enough memory. Can anyone point out what I am (obviously) doing wrong? Thanks in advance. -- Franco Barber ..!cbosgd!cbuxc!cblpe!feb

I'll try 2.02 with 1.1 tonight when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it will work. Usually you get screwy errors like that when you have a corrupted copy of the executable. Perhaps you downloaded the file using 7-bits instead of 8???? Will get back to you. -Matt

I think you have got a messed up executable. The most common mistake people make when downloading is not to use Image mode for Kermit, and to forget to switch to 8-bit mode (though some kermit's will do this for you). For instance, on a UNIX system you would want to 'stty pass8' on the UNIX side and make sure your modem program is in 8-bit mode on the Amiga side. -Matt
