Like the subject says: How do other people
get their ftp'ed things from the ftpsite
to the c64?
I only have the following procedure -
ftp -> pcdisk -> Amiga >(nullmodem) > C64.
Is there like a program for the I*M-PC, that
will write c64 disks or something like that?
(I know about hooking a 1541 up with the Amiga,
but forget about that(for me, anyway)).

I do FTP -> (modem) -> IBM -> (floppy) -> C128. I download my stuff at 2400 baud to the IBM, then put the data on 360K floppy and read it on the C128 with "Big Blue Reader" by SOGWAP Software. This program allows reading of IBM 360K disks on a C64 or C128, but only if you have a 1571. I heard that you can also read 720K 3.25" disks with the 1581, but not quite as well. Still, it's a pretty cool program, but a 1541 can NOT do it. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/! INET: an207@cleveland.freenet.edu / ..

Have you considered just putting your C64 on the net? :-) But seriously, you can forget about getting a PC to write a C64 diskette. What I do is just use a commodore modem and download directly to the C64 (using novaterm, or somesuch). There are many PD Xmodem programs for unix systems.

How about the obvious: dialing in with a modem and downloading using Kermit or XMODEM? -- Geoffrey Welsh - Operator, Izot's Swamp BBS (FidoNet 1:221/171) root@zswamp.uucp or ..uunet!watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root 602-66 Mooregate Crescent, Kitchener, ON, N2M 5E6 Canada (519)741-9553 "He who claims to know everything can't possibly know much" -me

My guess is: no CBM modem. There does exist a program for the C-64 that will read I*M-PC disks, The Big Blue REader, from Sogwap Software. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu

It should be mentioned that Big Blue Reader will only work with a 1571 or 1581 disk drive. Marc R. Roussel mroussel@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca
