From: Ron Natalie <ron@brl-vgr> I have someone who has gotten UMODEM 28 for the purpose of transferring programs between Z80 based systems and a UNIX. He's compiled and installed it, but he's lacking instructions on how to use it. I'd appreciate any pointers to documentation on how to use it. Thanks, -Ron

From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl> The doc for UMODEM is invoked by simply giving the command name with no arguments. The basic idea is to issue command lines of the following forms: umodem -st file <-- send from UNIX to CP/M umodem -sb file <-- send binary (st was send text) umodem -rt file <-- receive on UNIX from CP/M umodem -rb file <-- receive binary The text options are available so that automatic text file format conversion can be done between UNIX and CP/M formats. Depending on the implementation (UMODEM 2.8 is quite old now), other options are available for performing functions such as not generating a log of the activity (l (ell) opion) or for masking out the 7th bit (7 option). Again, the command "umodem" with no arguments tells you the format of the command line. Rick

From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl> Ron, get AR43:CPM;UMODEM 34C from MIT-MC. Version 28 is too old. This new version now has an interactive mode with help. There is no documentation on umodem other than what you get when you bring it up with no arguement. It prints the command list. --Keith

From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl> Keith, Are you referring to 34C or 35C? 35 (3.5) is the one I just finished with the interactive mode, but both are still in AR43:CPM last time I looked. Rick
