lean@sbcs (Lean L. Loh) (11/15/87)
fixed in the new version. However, I tried a 'cat file1 >file2' and only
saw file1 put to my screen. file2 was created with 0 byte.
Did someone asked for a copy of OSS Personal Pascal? What next? Publishing
Partner? Graphic Artist? :-}
For those having problems with uudecoding GULAM, if you're desperate,
send me a SASE with a diskette, I'll copy my GULAM and send it back to you.
This is one product worth getting!
Someone asked for the docs for rx/sx which was omitted in the OLD manual
but included in the new manual. I extracted this from the new docs.
Also to get back to ue after temporarily exiting using ^Z, do a fg.
Does this answer your questions?
---------------
rx/sx
-----
These are built-in commands. `rx' receives a file from the remote
system; and `sx' sends a file to the remote system using Xmodem
protocol.
rx FNM
command opens/creates file FNM for writing. If the shell variable
`rx_remote_cmd' is set, *Gulam* constructs a command for the
remote system as `$rx_remote_cmd' FNM, and sends this command
through the rs232 port, and then awaits the packets. For use with our
4xBSD Unix, we set this var to `xm st'. Unless the `xm' on the
remote machine is of the quiet type (one that does not respond with, say,
`Xmodem: Ready to send...'), setting `rx_remote_cmd' actually
prolongs the first synchronization. If this var is unset, you should first
switch to remote (say using te command), and issue the appropriate command
to the remote, and then switch back to AtariST and give the `rx'
FNM command.
sx FNM
is essentially similar. *Gulam* opens FNM for reading, sends
`$sx_remote_cmd' FNM, if that var is set, and awaits the first
sync. For our 4xBSD Unix, we set `sx_remote_cmd' to `xm rt'.
If sending/receiving binary files use `xm rb' or `xm sb'. Note
that files received with Xmodem usually contain extraneous bytes at the
very end of the file. With text files, you often see a bunch of
`^Z's.
