AmiagBinary
Message #11373
I have finally forced myself to sit down and respond to the AmigaBinary suggestions. Some comments: 1) It is useful to leave 128 byte block alignment in the standard. The reason is to simplify implementation. It is quite simple to build a state machine that the xmodem sender/receiver makes requests…

Message #4332
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand want the CRC adds. The header block will be verified by the protocal used, thus no internal CRC is needed. The intent when using MacBinary is that all files are either MacBinary or Text. This assumption fails if you are attempting to…

I saw your message about file transfers. Take a look at the MacBinary standard which is in dl3. Below is my proposal for modifications to it so that it would work for the Amiga. I have maintained the same offsets. Note that the File.info would be moved and rebuilt if…

It sounds like we are proceeding toward an AmigaBinary Standard. This is encouraging. I see no reason, however, why a AmigaBinary standard should be a modification of MacBinary. MacBinary has many fields that are Mac specific. The intent of MacBinary is what we need, not it specifically (I participated in…

I agree with you that all text files uploaded to the Amiga dls should have carriage returns. I am currently downloading files using my Mac. I then transfer the file to my Amiga. I am sure that many others are doing the same thing with other systems. In fact the…

I'm Bill Bond. I'm the author of FreeTerm, which is a public domain Mac terminal program. I would like to port it to the Amiga. It sounds like the terminal routines that you've got could really get me going. My publisher is a Amiga Developer (I have an Amiga development…

Right now my plans are to just produce a version of FreeTerm. It will allow me to get up to speed and also be useful to people here. I am really not sure what will happen after that. I am between an environment that I know well and have opportunities…

#Amiga Terminal Program
Message #851
If you like FreeTerm, you might want to take a look at Mouse Exchange Terminal, I wrote it. It adds macros, dialing, emulation and a built-in editor and filer to FreeTerm. Dumb question – what are the IFF specifications? If someone has any information about how MaxiComm moves files, I…

My name is Bill Bond. I have been lurking for about a month while trying to get up to speed on Amiga Development. I am a Mac developer who recently got an Amiga development system. I have several products that are being published for the Mac. In particular, I have…
