You might try: A> copy com:/b foobar.com/b (I forget where the /b goes) but it probably won't work. Here's some ideas: Tools for your mental tool box: * MSDOS debug will properly load Intel hex files. * There is a .EXE to .COM converter out there somewhere (non-M$) Google for 'intel hex'; you should be able to make BASIC produce that from a file, but you'll ahve to use the right horrible commands so that BASIC won't gag on binary "characters"! Sheesh. In fact, if the donor/source computer is MSDOS, debug mught even PRODUCE Intel hex; I just don't recall. .EXE don't contain too much magic, just Mark Zibikoski's initials and a few words telling how much resources it wants. Most convert to .COM but get a bit larger, if I recall. If you get the hex file to the target machine OK, A> debug hexfile.hex Should do it. If the file was a .COM, then you can type "G100" and it will run! If it was a .EXE, you'll have to use the save command, save the right number of blocks to disk, etc. I've long forgotten the proper invokations.
