The former is surely available in CPM, the latter may not be. Yet hyperterminal does offer the right tools, some of which are supported in CPM.īTW, I specified xmodem, not zmodem. The option he was trying in hyperterminal was equivalent to what happens with FTP text mode, intended for console text only. For example (and going off at a tangent), if you want to FTP something "verbatim", you use binary mode, rather than text mode. Using a protocol intended for exactly such "raw" (binary) data transfers, and which includes integrity checking, is what I would call "using the right tool for the job". Perhaps, but his restriction was really that he needed a solution that was viable for CPM. I don't think he wanted any kermit/zmodem etc.encoded transfers, just a raw filedump which, indeed, Hypertermial can't do. A TeraTerm:Log window should appear for you to type in the name of the downloaded. From the main menu in Tera Term Pro, select File > Log.
TERATERM PRO WEB EXAMPLES SERIAL
From the main menu in Tera Term Pro, select Setup > Serial Port. Is there some free utility that will do the job? Thanks for any help. Open Tera Term Pro and verify that the communication parameters match those of the 931A/930A. I can't believe it is so difficult at the PC end. I wrote a tiny little program about 60 bytes long on the old computer to receive all the serial bytes. The COM1 device does not work in DOS7 nor DOS6.22, so I need a Win98 solution. However, this creates a new problem: CR with no LF are converted by HT into CR+LF, which is all right for text files but useless for binary files. If I do File -> Properties -> Settings -> ASCII Setup, then select Send line ends with line feeds, CR+LF are sent properly. A LF without a preceding CR is sent fine.
TERATERM PRO WEB EXAMPLES DRIVER
Is there any way to tell the printer driver to send the raw data and nothing else? Choosing RAW in Spool Settings does not help.įor Transfer -> Send Text File, HT does not send CR+LF properly. Printing files to this printer results in lots of unwanted bytes added to the data stream. Adding Generic / Text Only printer on COM1: I want to send binary files so it is vital that the file is sent exactly as it is, with no extras and nothing missing.ġ. The problem is that the apps I've tried either add extra bytes or delete bytes. The physical link works perfectly and the old computer is receiving all the bytes it is being sent without any errors. It should be dead easy, no? Well, I'm having a lot of trouble. I'm trying to send files to an old computer through a serial link connected to COM1 on my Win98SE PC.
