tr@thumper.UUCP (04/09/87)
A few days ago, I asked for help with converting files from Scripsit
to regular ASCII. I have received three responses so far and they all
say "don't write a program; it's too hard". Ok so I will use the
convert utility.
All three responses have asked "Is there really Kermit for the Model
II?"
YES! The folloing enclosure was taken from a very recent issue of the
INFO-KERMIT digest. I got it from the newsgroup
mod.protocols.kermit. I mailed off a disk to get a copy of Kermit.
I did manage to get the binary file from cu20b.arpa via ftp but I
don't want to try transferring a binary file to the Model II.

Boot procedures for TRSKER
--------------------------
A- The easy way.
Get the TRSKER already on a TRSDOS (Model II) formatted diskette.
(If you can't find it, send me an 8 inch diskette and I'll send
it back to you with TRSKER.)
B- The not so easy way.
Get TRSKER.HEX on a PC.
Connect the PC to the Model II using a direct link or a modem.
Issue a SETCOM command to set communication speed on the Model II
running TRSDOS.
Issue a RECEIVE command on the Model II
Issue a MODE command on the PC to set the communication speed.
Issue a TYPE TRSKER.HEX > COM1: on the PC.
Pray to your favorite metaphysical being for a good connection.
Issue a DUMP command on the Model II to get your memory to disk.
C- The hard but fullproof way.
Get TRSKER source code on a PC.
Setup communication speed on the Model II using SETCOM.
Execute TERMINAL on the Model II.
Open and reset RAM buffer.
Enter terminal mode and watch the files go by.
One after the other send the source files from the PC
using TYPE TRSXXXX.MAC > COM1:
After each file, on the Model II close the RAM buffer and
write it to disk.
Once your through with the transfer use the Microsoft assembler
and linker for the Model II to produce an executable version.
