perl@rdin.UUCP (11/26/86)
There is an article on this very subject in the August 1986 edition of
MacUser. The basic procedure is as follows:
Connect the 25 pin serial port on the 100 to the Mac. The imagewriter
cable is said to work for this. On the 100, enter the builtin TELECOM
program. Set the comm parameters with the STAT command. "STAT 87I1E"
will set 9600 baud, 7 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON/XOFF. Type TERM
to go into terminal mode. On the Mac, you must have a communications
program. They recommend Red Ryder, though I know that MacTerminal also
has the function that they are using for this transfer. Set the comm
parameters of the Mac comm program to those above. Activate the
RECEIVE FILE--STRAIGHT ASCII protocol of your comm program. On the
100, hit F3 (UPLOAD). Type the name of the file on the 100 and press
ENTER. TELECOM will prompt you for a line width. The 100 uses newline
characters the same way that the Mac does; just to separate paragraphs
and force newlines. The text is auto-justified every time it is
displayed or printed. The TELECOM program will also auto-justify
during UPLOAD using the line width you specify. If you want to
maintain the arrangement of your newlines on the Mac so that MacWrite
will auto-justify as usual, hit ENTER when prompted for width. UPLOAD
will not add newlines if you enter no width. See the manuals for more
details.
DISCLAIMER: This information is paraphrased from the above mentioned
magazine article. I have never tried this procedure and cannot make
any claims that it will work as desired. Enjoy.
