- We are adding capabilities right and left. The main one missing from
- the manual is the capability of rapid command line file transfer. We have
- been dismayed by the inability of the fancy communications software packages
- to be called from a batch file with the filename(s) on the command line.
- So we felt that it would be important to add this capability.
-
- Here's how it works as of this date:
- To send the file "patrick.dat" type: sportt t patrick.dat
- To receive it, go over to the other computer and type:
- sportt r
- Don't forget to use a null modem cable!
-
- It doesn't matter which side you start first--they both wait patiently
- for the other.
-
- The filename from the sending computer will be used on the receiving
- end automatically. We think this is the easiest way for simple file trans-
- fer.
