Does anyone know of any Xmodem xcmds that DON'T require user intervention?
One that could be invoked something like:
xmodemReceive("FOO.BAR")

The HyperCard Serial Port Toolkit (available from APDA) includes an XModem XCMD.

I think Xmodem is usin 8 bit code and it is not possible here (LANs and ... they do not pass all characters) so I am more interested about Zmodem. What about Zmodem XCMD? Seppo Kallio PS. Please mail directly to me (also) -- kallio@tukki.jyu.fi Seppo Kallio phone Finland 941 292809 kallio@finjyu.bitnet University of Jyvaskyla Computing Centre

XModem <command>,<folder path>,<file name> Where <command> is either "send" or "receive". <folder path> is the folder to receive into. And <file name> is the name to give the received file. It actually receives into a temporary file in the folder, then renames it to the <file name> if and only if the receive is successfull. It does straight XModem, and therefore doesn't care if the contents are MacBinary or whatever. There are two other XCMDs, MacBinify and DeMacBinify, which convert a file on disk to and from MacBinary format. MacBinify <original name>,<MacBinned name> put DeMacBinify(<MacBinned name>,<new file name>) into foo DeMacBinify returns the original name of the file, so to completely restore things you need to do a rename to the name returned by DeMacBinify. (It doesn't automatically use this name because it might have to write over an arbitrary file on disk...) These XCMDs weren't documented in the normal Toolkit documentation because they weren't developed at Apple as a part of the Toolkit. They were developed by me on my own time for use with HyperBBS, and at the last minute I decided to donate them (and the source code in the case of XModem) to the Toolkit...
