[comp.sys.mac.apps] RS-232 question

wesley@sequent.com (Wesley Zottman) (05/03/91)

I am posting this for a friend but please respond to wesley@sequent.com.

Does anyone know of a way (program/driver) to output RS-232 ASCII data files 
from the serial port to run a RS-232 output device. He needs ASCII data file as 
output.


THANKS,

Probably the easist way is to use almost any terminal emulation program.
Most of them have a feature to "send text" or "send characters".  This will
output the file that you specify to the serial port.
