PDP-11 DOS/BATCH Question - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

9 Oct 1999

...
 Much to my surprise I was contacted by someone still
maintaining several
PDP-11/55's running DOS/BATCH.  Yes, I know I shouldn't have been
surprised, just never heard of anyone actually running it.  Anyway, does
anyone know of a way, or have a program to transfer data between the PDP-11
and a laptop?  I'm not aware of a DOS/BATCH version of Kermit, which was my
first thought. 
Which way does the data have to flow?  If from the -11 to the PC,
and the data is all simple ASCII, you can just send it out the
serial port without any flow control or error detection/correction.

If it's anything more complicated, I just boot RT-11 and use FILEX
(aka COPY/DOS) to move information back and forth to the DOS-11
packs/tapes, then I use Kermit-RT or TCP/IP on the RT-11 system for
data transfer.
