Hi,
Anybody have a stupid DOS trick for importing binary files
over a com: port?
Import from what kind of system? If it's another MS-DOS/Windows system
then LapLink or FastLynx is the easiest. FastLynx has a way to install
itself to disk-less machines over the cable. LL probably does too. If one
is a non-MS-DOS system then Kermit is probably best. it's available for a
LOT of didfferent systems. I haven't used if but Dave Mabry uses it
successfully to transfer files to and from a PC and the Intel MDSs and
they're very different machines.

I have a floppy-less laptop that I want to
get Kermit.exe into. If it isn't simple then
I'll just write a Hex/Bin
program for each side and send the file ASCII. It would have
to be .BAS on the laptop side.
I realize that taking the drive out and mounting it in the host
machine is a good solution, but I wanted to try this first while
keeping the machine together.
TIA,
John A.
