I would like to transfer visicalc-spreadsheet files from my appleII+
to my ibm compatible (an at&t-6300) lotus-123 spreadsheet program to
run there. can anyone tell me what proceedure to use.
I do have communications programs on both machines, and could connect
their serial (rs232) ports together.
What next?
Any suggestions sincerely appreciated.

To get the files accross you should use an intelligent communications program. Kermit in Binary mode works very well. Xmodem would also do. However, you must be running similar software on Both machines. -- Bill Wilson (Bitnet: ucc2wew@nauvm) Northern AZ Univ Flagstaff, AZ 86011 {These views are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer}

Yes. In LOTUS (not 1-2-3) there is a translate program called (i believe)
'TRANS'. That should do it.
