[net.micro] c64 and pc interfaces

bhf@mtuxo.UUCP (b.freedman) (12/24/85)

I have a c64 that I have been using with EASYSCRIPT.
I am considering purchasing an AT&T PC.  If I do so, how difficult
will it be to transfer text files on disk from one operating system to
the other.  I do have access to the UNIX mainframe at the office, so I
can do some up/downloading from the PC to UNIX, if that would help.

Thanks in advance for any advice.  Barry

If you just want to transfer text from the C64 to the PC I highly suggest
getting a copy of KERMIT for both
machines and you can do the
transfer either direct with a modem
cable or over the phone lines via
a modem.
   
I have used KERMIT on my C64 so far to exchange files with UNIX and CDC 855
running NOS with no problems.

You shouldn't have any problem at all to transfer files from a
C64 to a PC via UNIX mainframe since I done such a thing with
NO problems at all.  All you need to do is connect the C-64 to
the mainframe abd download the files and upload them on a PC.
