ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for Edit Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Softerm includes a selection of edit options, available for Send and Receive
file transfer operations, to compensate for the variations in data formats used
by host computers.
These options allow the source file to be reformatted as the file is
transferred to its destination.
Edit options may be set for a particular File Transfer Profile so they will be
in effect each time the profile is used. Edit options also may be changed from
the Session Window's File menu before starting a file transfer operation.
For additional information about the File Transfer Edit Options, select:
High Bit
End of Line character
Hex dump
Pad blank lines
Space compress
Translate characters
Remove characters
Tab length
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> High Bit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The High Bit of each character in the source file may be Set, Cleared or left
at No Change. In most cases, you would leave this option set to No Change to
leave the High Bit unaffected.
Application: If you transferred a text file from an Apple computer to a PC,
you would want to Clear the high bit to obtain standard text rather than
graphics characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> End of Line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
End of Line lets you choose what line terminator is to be used for the
destination when transferring text files. The line terminators may be:
o No Change (no end of line modifications)
o Carriage Return
o Line Feed
o Carriage Return/Line Feed
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Hex Dump ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Hex Dump, if checked, will cause the source file to be converted to a
displayable hexadecimal dump format.
Each line will display the 8-character hexadecimal address of the position in
the file followed by a colon, 16 data characters from the source file in
hexadecimal format, and the ASCII equivalent displayable characters.
Non-displayable character codes will be shown as a period.
This option is extremely useful in debugging communications problems when
interacting with a host computer system.
Important: If the Hex Dump option is checked, all other editing options except
for the High Bit option, and the End of Line option when the transfer is to a
printer, are ignored.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pad Blank Lines ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Some host systems throw away any blank lines; that is, lines consisting only
of a line terminator character, such as a Carriage Return + Line Feed used to
double-space between paragraphs of a document. To have the document retain its
format when it is transferred to the host, check the Pad Blank Lines option.
This will substitute a space plus the line terminator for any line containing
only a line terminator.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Space Compress ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Space Compress, if checked, will cause any sequence of multiple space
characters to be changed to a single space character as the source file is
transferred to the destination.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Translate Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Translate is used to convert characters or ranges of characters to other
characters or strings of characters. This option is useful if a file contains
unwanted formatting characters which must be converted before the data can be
processed.
Application: Some word processors use non-standard control sequences for
format control. If you know what these codes are, you can translate them to
the codes used by your word processing program.
The Translate string entry field may contain multiple arguments which may be
optionally separated by spaces or commas (,), or ranges separated by a hyphen
(-). Arguments in the Translate field must be specified in pairs so that both
a from and a to argument are included for each translate entry in the field.
Character arguments and ranges may be specified in either ASCII or hexadecimal
characters in the range $00-$7F. A hexadecimal character is indicated by a $
followed by 2 digits in the range 0-9 or A-F.
The backslash character (\) is used to indicate that the next character has no
special interpretation. It may be used with a space, comma, hyphen, dollar
sign, and backslash to allow these characters to be used in arguments.
The following are examples of valid arguments in the Translate edit option
field:
Argument Function
A Single ASCII Character
$41 Single Hexadecimal Character
a-z ASCII Character Range
$61-$7A Hexadecimal Character Range
\, Comma as Argument
The following are examples of valid specifications for Translate:
a-z,A-Z $7F,$20 (,[ ),]
This string, if used in the Translate edit option field, will convert lowercase
to uppercase and convert all DEL ($7F) characters to a space ($20), and will
convert parenthesis ( ) to square brackets [ ]. Arguments in the Translate
field must be specified in pairs.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Remove Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Remove is used to remove selected characters and ranges of characters from the
source file as the file is written to the destination. This option is useful
if a file contains unwanted formatting characters which must be removed before
the data can be processed.
Application: Some word processors use non-standard control sequences for
format control. If you know what these codes are, you can remove them to get a
destination file that is readable.
The Remove string entry field may contain multiple arguments which may be
optionally separated by spaces or commas (,), or ranges separated by a hyphen
(-). Character arguments and ranges may be specified in either ASCII or
hexadecimal characters in the range $00-$7F. A hexadecimal character is
indicated by a $ followed by 2 digits in the range 0-9 or A-F.
The backslash character (\) is used to indicate that the next character has no
special interpretation. It may be used with a space, comma, hyphen, dollar
sign, and backslash to allow these characters to be used in arguments.
The following are examples of valid arguments in the Remove edit option field:
Argument Function
A Single ASCII Character
$41 Single Hexadecimal Character
a-z ASCII Character Range
$61-$7A Hexadecimal Character Range
\, Comma as Argument
The following is an example of a valid specification for Remove:
$00-$08 $0B $0E-$1F
This string, if used in the Remove edit option field, will remove control
characters except for HT ($09), LF ($0A), FF ($0C), and CR ($0D).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Tab Length ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option accepts values in the range 0-9 and defaults to 0, which disables
this option. This option will substitute an appropriate number of spaces for
tab characters in the source file.
Application: If you downloaded a file that you knew was written with tab stops
set every 8 columns, and you wanted it to retain its format for your text
editor, you could change the default 0 to 8
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error
conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition
occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a
Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts
values from 0 to 255.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Receive Acknowledgment Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameter sets the number of seconds before a transfer operation will
cancel when an acknowledgement for data transmitted to the host is expected to
be received. Valid values are from 0 to 65535.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Send Character Transmission Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This also is called Transmit Delay.
Character Transmission Delay is specified in milliseconds of delay between
characters, from 0 through 255. Many host computers expect to receive data at
manual typing speed. When Softerm transmits a file of data, the interval
between characters is much shorter than when they are typed, and the host
computer may be unable to keep up with the transmission rate. As a result,
data may be lost or garbled. This parameter introduces an inter-character
delay to reduce the host processing load. If the data received by the host is
incomplete or consistently incorrect, increasing the inter-character delay may
improve the situation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error
conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition
occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a
Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts
values from 0 to 255.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Host Command for Send ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote
system when the Send command is processed.
This string could be used as a command to the remote computer system to prepare
to receive data, and might resemble:
ACCEPT filename [CR]
kermit -r filename [CR]
XRCV filename [CR]
The first 32 ASCII characters (0 through 31) also are control codes which can
be included by using the appropriate acronym enclosed in square brackets ([ ]).
These are listed in the ASCII column in ASCII Character Codes (If you need to
send a '[' or ']', precede it with a tilde '~'.) For example:
Acronym Decimal Value Name
[NUL] 0 Null character
[CR] 13 Carriage Return
[ESC] 27 Escape
[US] 31 Unit Separator
The string is transmitted exactly as entered and must include any terminator
characters, such as a carriage return, required by the remote computer.
The string is transmitted at 5 characters per second to allow for systems which
expect commands to be entered at normal keyboard entry speeds.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Receive Data Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameter sets the number of seconds before a transfer operation will
cancel when data is expected to be received. Valid values are from 0 to 65535.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Receive Character Transmission Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This also is called Transmit Delay.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Retries ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the maximum retry count for error conditions. Possible error
conditions include timeouts and block check errors. If an error condition
occurs during a file transfer operation and the Retries count is exhausted, a
Line Failure message will be displayed on your screen. This parameter accepts
values from 0 to 255.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Host Command for Receive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A string of up to 35 characters may be entered to be transmitted to the remote
system when the Receive command is processed.
When used with Receive, this string could be used as a command to the remote
computer system to prepare to transmit data, and might resemble:
TYPE filename [CR]
kermit -s filename [CR]
YSEND filename [CR]
The first 32 ASCII characters (0 through 31) also are control codes which can
be included by using the appropriate acronym enclosed in square brackets ([ ]).

Terminate On String
Host Command for Receive
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> End of Block String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify an up to 4-character block termination string. In character mode, a
block is usually considered to be a line of text, whose terminator is a
carriage return, a linefeed or a carriage return/linefeed combination.
However, the string may be composed of any characters that comprise the end of
a logical block of data.
Note: Specifying a string here enables the Acknowledge and End of Block Delay
features.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> End of Block Delay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
End of Block Delay is specified in tenths of seconds, from 0 through 255. If
no Host Acknowledge string is available, this option, together with the End of
Block (EOB) field, can be used to implement a time delay flow control. After
each block of characters is transmitted, Softerm pauses for the period of time
indicated by this field before continuing transmission with the next block of
characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Block Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Block Size accepts values in the range 0 to 255 and specifies the maximum
number of characters to be transmitted before waiting for a specified
Acknowledge string. When the number of characters specified by the Block Size
has been transmitted without encountering an End of Block terminator, the End
of Block terminator (if it has been specified) will be transmitted and Softerm
will wait for the optional Acknowledge string to be received.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Acknowledgement String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This 4-character string field specifies the host computer response to each
block transmitted. It should be set to whatever character string the host
sends when it is ready to receive a block of characters. Together with the End
of Block field, this field is used to implement a prompting flow control.
After each block of characters is transmitted, Softerm will wait for this
string to be received before sending the next block. If either of the
Acknowledge or End of Block fields are left blank, Softerm does not wait for a
host response.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Termination String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This 35-character string field is used to specify the string which, when sent,
indicates to the host system that data transmission is complete. After
receiving this string, the host system stops its receive operation, the file is
closed, and Softerm returns to Online operation. If there is no unique string
which the host recognizes as the end of the data, leave this field blank.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Echo / Wait Enabled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option allows the echo back of each transmitted character to Acknowledge
the character transmitted. If checked, the program waits after each character
is transmitted until the same character is received. All other characters are
ignored. If the required character is not received within the specified
Timeout period, the transfer is canceled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> When Received ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: The When Received string is used with the Reply With string.
When Received is a 10-character string field that specifies the prompting
message which is sent by the host. Reply With specifies a string to send in
reply.
Some host computers page their output, sending only enough data to fit on a
single screen, and then send a message to indicate the presence or absence of
more data. When a character is sent to the host, it responds with another page
of data, if it exists. The When Received and Reply With fields are used in this
situation to acknowledge each screen of data and prompt for the next screen.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Reply With ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: The Reply With string is used with the When Received string.
Reply With is a 10-character string field that specifies a string to send in
reply to the When Received string.
Some host computers page their output, sending only enough data to fit on a
single screen, and then send a message to indicate the presence or absence of
more data. When a character is sent to the host, it responds with another page
of data, if it exists. The When Received and Reply With fields are used in this
situation to acknowledge each screen of data and prompt for the next screen.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Terminate On String ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This 35-character string field is used to specify the string which, when
received, indicates that data reception is complete. After receiving this
string, the receive operation terminates, the receive file is closed, and
Softerm returns to Online operation. If there is no unique string which
signals the end of the data, leave this field blank.

Enter or edit your user password for sending or receiving files via FTP. This
field has a maximum length of 64 characters.
Note: This field can be left blank as it is not be required by all hosts. If
a host does require a password and one is not entered here, you will be
prompted to enter one at the time of the file transfer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Account ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This field is normally left blank as most hosts do not require an account
name. Enter an account name here only if it is required by a specific host.
This field can hold a maximum of 64 characters.
Note: If a host does require a password and one is not entered here, you will
be prompted to enter one at the time of the file transfer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Control Port ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Do not change the default value of 21 in this field unless you know the
specific port number to connect to for FTP transfers for a host. This field
can have a maximum value of 65535.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Send, Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameter sets the number of seconds before a transfer operation will
cancel when an acknowledgment for data transmitted to the host is expected to
be received. Values range from 0 to 32767.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Send, Filetype - ASCII ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select this option if you will be sending a non-binary (text) file to a host.
If you do not have this option set when sending an ASCII file, File Transfer
errors are likely to occur.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Host Command for Send and Receive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This field is optional and defines a string which will be transmitted to the
host before starting a transfer.
Important: This defaults to IND$FILE, which is the standard name of the file
transfer program on the host. If the host's file transfer program has a
different name, enter it here. No other information should be entered.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Append to Target File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When sending files to the host, if this option is checked, a file of the same
name will be appended to the file already on the host. If the file does not
already exist on the host, it will be created. If this option is not checked,
transferring a file to the host will cause it to replace a file of the same
name.
This is a commonly-used option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> ASCII To / From EBCDIC Translation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is checked, it specifies that the file data is standard text.
When the data is sent from the PC to the host, it is converted from ASCII to
EBCDIC characters. When the data is received by the PC from the host, it is
converted from EBCDIC to ASCII characters.
This commonly-used option often is used with the Use CR/LF option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Use CR/LF As Record Separator ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On a Send operation, checking this option causes carriage return/line feed
characters to mark the ends of logical records at the host end. These
characters are not written to the host file.
On a Receive operation, checking this option causes carriage return/line feed
characters to be inserted at the end of logical records. Trailing blanks are
removed.
This option commonly is used with the ASCII option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> One-to-One Character Mapping ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This option is valid only if the ASCII option also is specified. This
option normally should not be specified.
If One-to-One is checked, the file transfer function will use one-to-one
character mapping, which will map each unmatched code point to a unique
character in the target code page. With one-to-one character mapping, a file
transferred to a specific host and then transferred back from that host will be
identical to the original file transferred to the host.
If One-to-One is not checked, the file transfer function will use
multiple-substitute mapping. The file transfer will map all unmatched code
points to a specific set of characters in the target code page to enhance
comprehension. With multiple-substitute mapping, a file transferred to a
specific host and then transferred back to the PC will not be identical to the
original file transferred to the host (code points which did not have a match
in the target file will be different).
Note: The settings for these options are dependent entirely upon the host's
capabilities and requirements and the user's requirements.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PC File Code Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This option is valid only if the ASCII to/from EBCDIC Translation option
also is checked.
This specifies the PC file code page which is to be used for the file being
transferred. The default value is code page 437, United States.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Host File Code Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This option is valid only if the ASCII to/from EBCDIC Translation option
also is checked.
This option specifies the host file code page which is to be used for the file
being transferred. The default value is code page 037,
USA/Canada/Netherlands/Portugal.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Logical Record Length ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This specifies the logical record length of the host file in number of
characters. If this parameter is not used, the host defaults will be used.
For new files, the host usually will use a default value of 80. This parameter
normally can be omitted and should be specified only when you are familiar with
the host file operations.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Record Format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option may be set to Default, Variable, or Fixed. The default value for
fixed-length records is 80, but this may be changed using the Logical Record
Length option.
If set to Variable, host record boundaries will be set by the carriage
return/line feed characters in the PC file being sent. This is the default
setting for VM/CMS hosts.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Record Format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option may be set to Default, Variable, or Fixed. The default value for

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Start of Message Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameter sometimes is called the Start-Of-Header (SOH) character. This
parameter accepts values from [NUL] through [RUB].
The default Start of Message character is [SOH], which is 01 Hex.
Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character
Codes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Leading Pad Count ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You may specify the number of padding characters to precede each packet.
Padding may be necessary when sending to a half duplex system that requires
some time to change the direction of transmission.
Note: In general practice, this situation is more commonly handled by a
"handshake" mechanism.
This parameter accepts values from 0 through 255.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Leading Pad Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: If the Leading Pad Count parameter is 0 (zero), this parameter will be
ignored.
If the Leading Pad Count parameter is not 0 (zero), this parameter can be set
to the control character to be used for padding. In most systems, this
character is [NUL] (0 Hex), although some systems use [RUB] (7F Hex).
This parameter accepts values from [NUL] through [RUB].
Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character
Codes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Trailing Pad Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sometimes is called the End-Of-Line character. It is the character which
causes the host to accept a line of data. This parameter defaults to [CR] (0D
Hex) because most systems that require a line terminator for terminal input
accept the carriage return character for this purpose. This parameter accepts
values from [NUL] through [RUB].
Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character
Codes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Repeat Quoting Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option lets you change the default repeat sequence introducer character.
The default introducer character is a tilde (~).
The Kermit protocol allows the sender and receiver to exchange packets during
initialization to agree upon the capabilities to be used during the data
transfer phase. In the case of repeat quoting (data compression), the file
sender specifies the character to be used as a repeat sequence introducer and
the receiver either agrees or disagrees. If the character specified by the
sender is not acceptable to the receiver, repeat quoting will not be done.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Force 8-Bit Quoting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Quoting (also called Prefixing) is a term used by Kermit to indicate that 8-bit
data is transmitted as two 7-bit characters. For instance, the standard ASCII
characters are 7-bit data, while many non-printing characters, such as those
forming binary executable files, use 8-bit data. 8-bit data is encoded into
two 7-bit characters at the sending end, and decoded back to one 8-bit
character at the receiving end.
This option is provided for use in network environments where intermediate
equipment does not pass on the most significant bit (that is, it does not pass
8-bit characters along in an unmodified form).
If this parameter is checked, encoding of data greater than 07F hex is to be
forced. If this parameter is not checked, the Kermit protocol initial packet
exchange will determine whether encoding of 8-bit data is to be performed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Send Kermit Finish Packet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When checked, this option will cause a Kermit finish packet to be transmitted
at the end of a transmit/receive file(s) operation to cause the remote kermit
server program to terminate (if it supports this packet type).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> End of Message Character ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the character which is used to terminate input at the remote system.
It is designed primarily for host systems which work on a line input basis.
This parameter defaults to [CR] (carriage return).
Note: Use the text string displayed in the ASCII column of ASCII Character
Codes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Transmit Buffer Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameters accepts values from 64 through 255 and defaults to 128. It
specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer the Softrans file transfer protocol
builds and sends to the host system. If your host can accept more data at a
time, set this to a higher value. If your host cannot accept 128 bytes at a
time, set this to a lower value. Check with your system administrator.
Note: When receiving data to your PC, Softrans can accept whatever is sent by
the host.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 77. Transmit Packet Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This parameter determines the number of bytes contained by each packet of data.
Set it to the size supported by the host (if you know what it is) or to Auto.
If set to Auto, the packet size is determined by the speed of the connection.
The faster the speed, the larger will be the packet size.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 78. ASCII Character Codes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
These characters, codes and functions can be inserted in many of Softerm's
string entry fields. The first 32 codes (0 through 31 decimal), also called
the non-displayable characters, often are used as control codes. They can be
entered in a text field by typing the code's acronym (listed in the ASCII
column) between square brackets.
For example, a Carriage Return can be included in a string by typing the
acronym and placing it between square brackets, such as:
[CR]
