I have been using the new White Knight 11 for a week or two now.
I have been unable to figure out how to successfully download files from
my Sun workstation to my Mac with anything other than text capture.
I am downloading .hqx files, which could be converted with xbin or
mcvert, but I have been unable to get the WK Kermit or Zterm to receive
these files. I have used kermit and sz from the Sun side to send.
Has anyone figured out the way to do this? What Unix sending program
are you using and what flags?
Thanks.

>Has anyone figured out the way to do this? What Unix sending program >are you using and what flags? Works fine for me. For Unix to WK I usually use Kermit for text and rz/sz for binary. I've never had any problems... Autorecieve works great!

After initiating the sz command from the Sun, Choose Recieve Zmodem from the file menu. That's it... very simple. WK wont recieve automatically, you must initiate it on both sides. However it maybe there will be an autorecieve in the next version. (See my next posting) -- ============================================================================== (.)

BTW, I use s{zxb} on the Sun UNIX side with no options. Similary, I use kermit -s for kermit stuff. -- Jeffrey A.

The latest version, I think, is 2.12 dated 5-29-88. Ray

Where can I get the source for v2.12?? nrg -- "Philosophy is not the underlabourer of the sciences but rather their tribunal; it adjudicates not the truth of scientific theorizing, but the sense of scientific propositions." -- PMS Hacker
