Ok.. I have TETRAS from a friend who says that its roots can
be traced back to HP...  It is in M-L and it is very fast...
(obviously)... at its highest setting, there is little more
than a blue streak on the screen... it is very small too,
only 1880 bytes!

Now the catch: I need to know how to {up,down}load programs
to the 48..  The setup I am using is this:
an IBM80386 running System V  (just got procomm for it if that
matters) that is a UUCP site, and I have the cable.
The problem is: I need a _working_ copy of asc-> and ->asc, 
I need to know how to set it up to translate the "\v/" type of
character sets, and (for a friend) I need to know how to add
all the ^M's neccessary for dos machines...

It seems that the ASC-> programs that were posted a while back
would not work for anyone, so if anyone has a copy that would
work... I realise that this may seem trivial to some, so if it
is, _please_ send me any info that you can possibly send...

(btw, it _is_ spelled TETRAS -- aparently the person who wrote
it wanted it that way...)

Any help would be apreciated...

If the person who wrote the TETRAS program is out there, I would
like to know more about the numerical argument you give tetras.
it seem as though it is the level number, but it will mess up at
a certain value...  Then again I could just dissassemble it myself.
