I'm using MS-Kermit 2.29 on an IBM PC/AT to talk to a 4.3BSD UNIX system. I've done a "SET WARNING OFF" on the PC side, and have set up a dumb shell script named "prn" on the UNIX side; a simplified version of prn is: cat $* | kermit -i -a prn -s - Having done this I can, when logged on to the UNIX system, type in the UNIX command prn file1 file2 file3 then go into receive mode on the PC side and get the files printed on the PC's printer. Well. . .I can get things printed so long as none of the files contains a control-Z character; if there is a control-Z, I get a "Receiving: Failed" message from MS-Kermit. Since some of the information sent along by UNIX is bit maps, being able to send control-Z's to the printer is important. So: is there anything I can do at either the UNIX or PC end to make possible the simple printing of files with control-Z's? If you know, I'd appreciate hearing from you by mail. -- UUCP: elsie!ado Elsie and Ado are trademarks of Borden, Inc. and Ampex.
