(Microphone uses something it calls "MacTerminal 1.1" >format...I assume its really talking about XMODEM...). Exactly your problem. MacTerminal 1.1 format is NOT what Red Ryder (or ANY other MacBinary telecommunications program for that matter) expects to receive. Macput/get is only useful with MacTerminal 1.1 (or any program compatible with that protocol). You need to use an XMODEM (or YMODEM) program like umodem, sz, rz, and so on and then it works fine. Hope this clears up the confusion. -- Herb Barad Electrical Engineering Dept., Tulane Univ. USENET: barad@tulane.uucp INTERNET: barad@tulane.edu
