- KTRANS: Tony Keane, 1984
- CTRANS Adaptation: Jim Lill, 11/85
-
- Purpose: Hi-Speed Inter-Computer Transfer Program
-
- Application: KTRANS, Kaypro and Bigboard Computers
- CTRANS, any CP/M computer whose BIOS supports PUN: and RDR:
-
- KTRANS.... used in the Kaypro or Bigboard. Baud rate can be set to match the
- remote unit using BAUDM as supplied by Kaypro. Speeds up to 19.2K have been
- used successfully.
-
- CTRANS.... used in any CP/M computer with PUN: and RDR: support. Baud rate
- must be either a default, hardware selected or via software control provided
- by the user.
-
- In each case, Run instructions are provided when the program is run.
-
- Protocol Description: almost any type of file can be transferred. Codes below
- 20 and above 7F are transferred as double-bytes using three special signalling
- codes (11H, 12H, 13H). This allows for the fastest transfer for most files
- including object code since double-bytes are only necessary for out-of-range
- codes. The data is sent without error-checking, in 128 Byte blocks. Having
- no Error Checking, CTRANS and KTRANS are intended for local hard-wire duty.
- High baud rates will provide a quick transfer that can APPROACH DISK-to-DISK
- SPEEDS in some cases.
