#ASCII download PD?
4 messages in this thread
Is there a program in any of the libs here that could handle an ascii 9600 baud
download with 8,N,1?
I am downloading via serial from another computer and I wish to asave it
to an Amiga file. I could do it to an IBM and transfer if my awrite worked!!!
Thanks,

Jer,
Most of them should work fine at 9600 baud…no reason why not unless
that baud rate isn't an option available. What terminal program are you using
now…doesn't it have a 9600 baud rate selection?

Don,
I also apologize for duplicate messages. Seems that This TAPCIS had
problems leaving messages last night and didn't think they got through the
first time!
As far as the link goes, I am using a Pharmacy computer system that
prints a list of customers via a serial cable. I take this cable and connect it
to the 2000's serial port and use ONLINE!. The only way I can save it as a file
is with a capture text file (It does appear on the screen). The problem is that
ONLINE cuts it off after the first line.
I think it is because of some garbage being sent by the pharmacy
computer at the begining of each line. (they do devious things so people like
myself are held hostage to their programming staff—-$$$$$!)!
I thought maybe their is a program that would just accept input via the
serial port at 9600 in straight ASCII and solve my problems
Jer
Jer,
They may be sending control characters…that are locking up the serial
port. Try setting the input filters to NULL everything that isn't an ASCII
value in OnLine! input filters. Also, make sure your serial prefs show NO
flowcontrol (handshake).
I presume there's no chance the pharmacy computer knows how to do a
protocol transfer.
