Another way is to download files to a different networked computer, and then set up local file transfer between the serial ports of the two machines. Again the programme below could be used as the ARC end of that transfer. Serial data transfer is full of problems till it starts to work. Check your connections are correct, and the speed is the same at both ends!! (*CON.BAUD 1200 etc for the ARC.) The final way is to use a DOS disk reader on the ARC, if your networked machine is PC compatable. ------------ArcTerm Mini Terminal with file save----------------------- 10 REM >ArcTerm 20 MODE0 30 PRINT"ArcTerminal" 40 PRINT"Now in terminal mode" 50 PRINT"Use CTRL A to OPEN a file for output, CTRL B to CLOSE it" 60 ONERROR OSCLI"FX2 0":OSCLI"CLOSE":REPORT:PRINT" at line ";ERL:END 70 file%=FALSE 80 REPEAT 90 *FX2 2 100 IF ADVAL(-1)>0 AND ADVAL(-3)>0 THEN 110 char%=GET 120 IF char%<3 THEN 130 CASE char% OF 140 WHEN 1:PROCopen :REM ctrl'A' 150 WHEN 2:PROCclose:REM ctrl'B' 160 ENDCASE 170 ELSE 180 SYS"OS_Byte",138,2,char% 190 ENDIF 200 ENDIF 210 *FX2 1 220 WHILE ADVAL(-2)>0 230 char%=GET 240 VDU char% AND &7F 250 IF file% THEN BPUT#file%,char% 260 ENDWHILE 270 UNTIL0 280 : 290 DEFPROCopen 300 INPUT'"Filename :"f$ 310 file%=OPENOUT f$ 320 PRINTf$" opened for output" 330 ENDPROC 340 : 350 DEFPROCclose 360 CLOSE#file% 370 PRINT"File closed" 380 file%=FALSE 390 ENDPROC --------------------End of ArcTerm----------------------------------
