Hi,
I have an executable transputer file in dos
format for use with a PC hosted transputer system. I wish to
transfer this executable file ( it is a file of type .B4 ) to a
VAX so that i can use it with my vax hosted transputer system. My
attempts so far to kermit this file result in a file with the
wrong format which fails to boot. Has anyone encountered this
problem? Does anyone know of a solution?
Cheers

Assumung you are using KERMIT in binary mode and it doesnt work - how about uuencoding the file first, sending the ASCII and then uudecoding it at the far end. I have used these programs to transfer other binaries via very tortuous routes indeed and they still work at the far end. -Pete. -- -Pete French. | British Telecom Research Labs. | "The carefree days are distant now, Martlesham Heath, East Anglia. | I wear my memories like a shroud..."
