- whoa...!
- Didn't we all have this same discussion about a year or two ago?
- It certainly has been a long time...Shall we all get into another
- heated discussion which is better?.....hmmmm:)
-
- Talking about pain in the rears...(corrupted uudecoded files)
- How would you like to transfer a 22K asc file to your hp48.
- You would need about 44K free on your calculator, plus more to
- unasc it and sto it. Now how about our poor little voltage
- sources? 22K asci certainly is a tad longer than 22k binar isnt it?
- I havent check out tasc, and I dont think that it is mac compatible.
- Personally I like the comp.sources.hp48 listing where
- they have both the asc and uuencoded file. First I try the
- uudecoded file . If that doesnt seem to work then I go to the asc file.
- But rarely have I had problems...
- anyway, like I said, I think we've all had this discussion before...
