The version that +has been listed in the CP/M-80 Kermit manual for the past several years failed +to store the end of the file after downloading it into memory. The new version +stores in multiples of 2 sectors [256 bytes] and could have a 'overrun' of that +much, however without problems, since the Control-Z does the magic. Unlike the +previous version, this program displays the data on the screen while capturing +it into memory. + +Probably you want to include the 'program' - for the guy who has an editor AND +the DDT-form. I believe that the assembler will catch typos easier than DDT - +and not everybody is fluent enough in DDT to correct typos on the fly. + +The Rainbow was able to 'fetch' at 2400 baud, VT180 only checked at 1200 baud. +You might want to check on your micros, first thing to go [speed-wise] could be +the 'visual' display - although I NEEDED to see the 'bytes' trickling in - and +its also quite handy to see a 'blotch' coming on the VT180 - so you know right +away when a transfer wasn't clean. + +- Bernie |
