Can anyone tell me the secret to uploading text files to CompuServe? I'm om an
A1200 with A-TalkIII communication software. The Text file is generated in
Final Copy. Every upload I've tried under 1.Text(ANSI) comes back illegal
control character. Thanks.
The secret to doing everything with an Amiga and CompuServe is AutoPilot.
By the way, are you sure your text file is saved as ASCII? What does
"more" say when you try to read the file with it?

Dave,
You will have to send your file out of Final Copy as plain ASCII text in
order to upload it as text. Others could not read it with all of the
Final Copy control characters, anyway, unless they had Final Copy. To be
uploadable, you should be able to read it in any simple text editor – such
as ED. If ED will load it, it will upload just fine. – or the text editor
in AutoPilot can strip out the control characters from a number of word
processors and change them to simple ASCII text.
