Subject: Re: TCP FTP remote file server via Disk sysout file

Having a *real* TCP file server (sysout) will be an improvement,
in the mean time you can use the FTP facility to save sysouts
to and from any TCP host via a Sysout file residing on your
Dove/Dandelion hard-disk.
1- Have one small sysout with TCP in a partition where you never
   go do other work than TCP-FTPing.
2- Make a systout to hard-disk file (e.g. {DSK}<LISPFILES>LISP.SYSTOUT)
   do a TCP FTP of this file to your host

When you need to restore a sysout from the host:
1- Boot the TCP-FTPing partition do a FTP of the sysout of your choice
   from the host onto {DSK}<LISPFILES>LISP.SYSOUT (better remove the
   old copy if your disk is getting full!).
2- Go to the system tools and do a Sysin from the <LISPFILES>LISP.SYSOUT
   file.
Advantages: you can have many different sysouts on the remote host
Disadvantage: numerous coffee breaks needed!
