Question 1) I am trying to do the following. At 4 am let my ST call the UNIX system at school and do some file transfers. I have a macro that manages to dial, connect, login, send password but it seems to end execution there. No matter how I set up the remaining commands they never get executed. All I want to do is a batch Ymodem from there and a batch ymodem from here. 1.a Can this be done? 1.b if so, then how? Question 2) Exactly how does one get the DVI previewer to work in remote mode. how do you print the contents of the screen. The source code seems to indicate that this can be done. ========================================================================== I will not bash atari no matter what they promise and do not deliver.

Hello,
Since quite a few people out there were very helpful about my last
set of questions, I thought that I would throw out some more:
1) I have two windows on my desktop, one for A: and one for C:.
Sometimes when I exit a program another A: window comes up, over
top of the others. Eventually, the C: window can't come up since
there is a limit to the number of windows on the desktop. Is this
a TOS/Desktop bug, or am I doing something wrong?
2) What are the requirements (memory/disk drives/etc...) for using the
following: Mark Williams C, Laser C, AssemPro, and Word Up?
3) Is anyone out there using AssemPro? How good is it?
4) What version of ARC is best to use? I have 5.12, 5.21, and ARCX.
5) What are the .TTP and .PRG file formats? Are they similar to the
IBM counterparts?
6) Is there code available for UUD and ARC?

Thanks Again!

Well, since you asked, Mark Williams C will run on one of the following processors: PDP-11, Z8001, Z8002, 8086, 80186, 80286, 68020. Oh yes, also the 68000. It needs at least 512K memory and one single sided disk drive ... but compiling is a major headache with that set-up. With 1024K of memory, you can place the C preprocessor, compiler and linker on ramdisk ... and compiles are much faster. Of course, the more mass storage the better. I'm using a set-up where the shell, emacs, linker, preprocesor, compiler are all in RAM, the libraries are on my double sided drive b, as well as all the utility commands, except the resource construction set, which is on double-sided drive a ... leaving about 400K of free memory and about 500k of free disk space. -- Sean Kelly "I am not a number ... scksnsr@nmtsun.nmt.edu I am a free man!"
