Would someone please send me a Binscii'ed copy of Kermit? My disk went on the fritz and my only copy is fried (I know, I should have made a backup!) Thanks...I appreciate it!

Could someone volunteer to send me a copy of kermit If I send them a disk? I need kermit do download a copy of BINscii and Shrinkit. Thanx in Advance J.C.

I'm fedup and lost with this frogleg communications program.
I have a 1.25 meg Rom v1 2 GS in a 2e case and I can login to my
SUN 3 Unix server and do everything but download files and I've
tried everythinng but the documentation that came from Computer
Odyssey was a pretty big improvement over the previous docs, It
still isn't enough.
Server mode and a simple send give the same situation.. I engage
the local kermit (v3.85) to the receive mode and I just get to watch
nothing but packet repeat count build up and no data received! Help!
BTW If your're interested in hearing about the latest ORCA/C
developments email me magras@cpsin.cps.msu.edu to here about
the new pragmas dealing with the stack,lint ,preprocessor and the
new command line C macro definition capability. If enough people
respond I'll try to get mike westerfield's permission to post
the bug list and release notes.
Thanx in advance

Magras > That command sequence won't work. There are two modes for downloading via kermit and you've mixed commands from the two of them. One way is to invoke KERMIT on the remote but do not put it into SERVER mode. Now issue SEND (filename) and then escape back to local and give RECEIVE. The other method is to place the remote in SERVER mode. While acting as a server the remote kermit will not accept any commands from you directly. You have to escape back to local mode. To receive a file use GET (filename). When you are finished use the FINISH command to take the remote out of server. One other warning. Kermit will do it's best to convert a filename into an acceptable Prodos name. However, it will not truncate a filename, at least not as of v3.82. Attempting to download a file with a name greater than 15 characters will cause an error and abort the d/l. This is especially something to watch for when doing wildcard downloads. Kermit can be a real pain to learn. I consider it to be worth the trouble though because once you get the hang of it you will be able to sit down to any computer and use xfer files with a minimum of relearning. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************

Thanks Mr.Church but some guy from Purdue clued me into the problem -- setting the parity to even on my local kermit and then the sun/3 server was happy. Heck I'm writing this response on it's vt100 emulator... so I'm a Happy Puppy.. but now I've got orca/c/sd5.0.2 problems (another post!) Thanks Y'all J.C.

I was wondering if there is any way to set the packet length any bigger than $FA, 250 bytes, on Kermit. I got the late4st version, 3.87, and would like to cut down on the overhead and would like to set the block sizes bigger. I can set the packet length bigger at school but am unable to set the packet length larger on my GS. I tried to use Xmodem but it never seems to work. Mark mkoprows@ub.d.umn.edu

The one "glitch" that I notice is that I must hit "return" 3 times after I have escaped back to Apple Kermit and have entered the "GET filename" command. The transfer then takes off. ==================================================================== J.

The reason for the 250 byte packet limit is because the 16-bit arithmetic might slow down the transfer more than the overhead decrease would speed it up. Notice I said "might." I keep hoping Ted will at least try it for some timing... I personally don't think the 16-bit stuff will be as bad as calculating those percentages and printing the decimal numbers instead of hex must have been :-) By the way, xmodem protocol often doesn't work with mainframe transfers because of the variety of different data paths you can have. Often only 7 bits are used, while xmodem requires 8; sometimes xmodem's handshaking characters get swallowed by terminal servers etc. Zmodem is supposed to be able to take care of that problem but we all know the state of zmodem and the apple //. Kermit is nice and reliable, if you can stand the slowness. I used to set up large batches and download while I was going to be out.

Does Kermit 3.86 upload $E0 files? If I set file-type to txt, I get an
error... same with bin and other. Sure, I can change the file's file-type,
but that's a bit inconvenient. Can anyone suggest another way?
On another note... I've now found another P8 program that doesn't work with
my hard drive/RamFAST... FAZ.II gives me the same error as Binscii.. too
many volumes/pathnames/whatever. This is getting VERY annoying. I've got
six partitions, plus a RAMdisk and a 3.5" drive. Doesn't the RamFAST
automatically map your HD partitions to different slots when in P8? What's
the problem????
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, you have to use the RAMFast.Config program that comes in the ROM disk for the card. Right above the table listing all your partition data, you can select which slots the extra drives are mapped to in ProDOS 8. My RAMFast is in slot 6, so the first two drives are s6d1 and s6d2. The other two partitions are mapped to s7d1 and s7d2. At one point, I had my old hard drive hooked up as well (a 40-meg), a RAM disk, the CVTech ROM disk and a 3.5" floppy. That gave me 9 "drives" in all. It looked cluttered in the Finder, but I never had any problems with a "too many partitions" error. Brian T. Tao {taob@pnet91.cts.com} || Computer guru?
