- uue & uud: Get binaries over to V7 via console
-
- Quick hack to get binaries to V7 over 7-bit serial line. Assume you have
- a PDP-11 at one end running V7, and a 32-bit Unix at the other end, using
- some terminal emulation like kermit.
-
- Manually send uud.c over to the PDP-11 and compile it. For example:
-
- # ed
- a
- <manually enter uud.c code>
- .
- w uud.c
- q
- # cc -o uud uud.c
-
- Now compile uue.c on your 32-bit Unix. To send binary file xyzzy, exit your
- terminal emulator, and run uue on the 32-bit Unix side:
-
- % ./uue xyzzy > /dev/ttyd1 (assume /dev/ttyd1 is serial line)
-
- uue will set the PDP-11 Unix to cbreak no echo, start up uud, send the
- binary file over, and restore the terminal state.
-
- 2 text characters are sent for each binary byte, so it's not efficient.
