I am using the serial port, using a custom program.
To create the destination file on HP85 I use the following sentence:
CREATE "LIST1",N
where N is the number of records I have previoulsy calculated.
This creates a DATA file of name "LIST1". However, what I want is a PROGRAM
file.
Where can I state the *file type* on a CREATE sentence ? According to the
manual the syntax is: CREATE name,nrecords,size.
Is there any alternative or extension when using mass storage ROMs ?
BTW, yes, I have the Mass Storage ROMs installed.

Hi.
As I have no floppy disk for my HP85 (and I don?t want to!), I have been
working in a program to transfer binary data from my PC to my HP85,
because most HP85 available programs are in binary format (and available
HP85 detokenizers are basically crap).
Now I am able to transfer a tokenized Basic file to a DATA file on my HP85
but I cannot "LOAD" such a program.
How are you making the transfer?
Serial line, custom program? You need
to program the file type when it's created on the HP85, and you _might_
need the mass storage ROM to be able to open a PRG-type file...
