TOPIC -----------------------------------------
Can documents can be transferred from a Macintosh connected to a DECmate III
running CP/M-80?
DISCUSSION ------------------------------------
A DECmate III running CP/M-80 should have no difficulty moving ASCII text files
to a Macintosh. As with the DECmate I and DECmate II, a serial connection is
made between the DECmate and the Macintosh. This connection can be a direct
machine-to-machine connection with a null modem cable, or a
modem-to-phoneline-to-modem connection.
The XMODEM file transfer protocol was originally developed for the CP/M
operating system. Nearly all of the CP/M communication programs provide
support for the XMODEM protocol. Most Macintosh programs also support the
XMODEM file transfer protocol. By running applications supporting XMODEM on
both computers, a file transfer can be accomplished.
