I was recently given a S-100 computer system running CP/M 2.2 and would very much like to put some useful software on it. I have a PC-XT clone and have downloaded a lot of CP/M software to it for transfer to my S-100. Unfortunately, my S-100 currently has only one working serial port (the console) and no 5 1/4" floppies. I can download ascii files to my S-100 by using my XT as the console and doing a "pip filename.ext=con:", escaping back to my XT, and using the "Transmit" (raw ascii upload) command in kermit, but only with files smaller than 8k because pip writes its buffer to disk after 8k. Even my hard disk can't write fast enough to keep it from losing characters. I can break ascii files into 8k chunks using an editor on my XT and put them back together using "pip" on my S-100, but this is no way to transfer lots of files. I really need a file transfer program that will work through the console. That is, I want to be able to use my XT as the console of my S-100, tell my S-100 to receive a file, escape back to my XT, and send it. Does anybody know of a file transfer program that will do this? /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Mike J.
