I xfer files between my Mac and a PC on a regular basis and would like to use YMODEM since it will accept a large number of files, xfer the name of the file, and use 1k block sizes. I have large numbers of files and want to xfer them without user intervention. I use both MIRROR and PROCOMM on the PC side. Both support YMODEM (MIRROR also supports XTALK but I know of no Mac program that supports XTALK) but I continue to have problems with RR 10.3 YMODEM transfer. Anyone have experience using RR YMODEM to a PC?

I woule like to know of anyones success in tranfering multiple text-only files from an IBM/PC to a Mac. I have approximately 500 files to tranfer and I'm not looking forward to doing them one-at-a-time. I tried using Red Ryder 9.4's Kermit protocol in multi file mode, but it puts all the individual files from the PC into one massave file on the Mac, not too helpful. Does anyone know of a Mac program that WORKS with YModems filename tranfer system?. Thanx in advanced................T.C.

I have done that kind of massive download using RR with a procedure
written for that purpose. I don't have the procedure code available
at the moment, but it works something like the following:
1) Connect to the remote machine (PC in this case).
2) Generate a file (or do it ahead of time) on the remote
which contains a list of files to be downloaded.
3) Download the list file.
4) Open the list file.
5) Read a line (file name).
6) Generate the approriate command on the remote
machine to begin the download.
7) Tell RR to accept the file.
8) Wait for download to finish.
9) Repeat 5-8 until all files have been downloaded.
I've sued thsi method successfully for Xmodem and Kermit transfers.
I can get the procedure code to you by e-mail, if you like.

(really from Alan Shaw (alan@alaya.nyu.edu):
I won't answer the poster's question because I'm sure others will,
and I'd surely get the details wrong. But I wanted to note that
the site of the Stonewall riot, the Stonewall Inn bar on
Christopher St., which was for many years until recently the
Bagel And restaurant, is now a fancy shmancy clothing store.

The unix programs I'm using are called rz and sz (they actually support ZMODEM as well). I did have a little problems under RR 10.0, but they have been fixed under RR 10.3. It even works great under Multifinder. Herb Barad [USC - Signal and Image Processing Institute] email: barad@brand.usc.edu or ...!sdcrdcf!oberon!brand!barad
