#BBS program
4 messages in this thread
Ewan, we'd love to have your BBS program. Are you still unsure how to go about
uploading it? If so, let me know what communications software and hardware
you're using, and I'll try to help. You might just try going into DL3 and
typing UPL at the prompt. You will be prompted for everything else you need.
If you already know what protocol you're going to use, you can enter a command
like:
DL3: UPL BBS.LBR/TYPE:BIN/PROTOCOL:XMODEM
(assuming you're using XMODEM, and that the BBS is in a LAR library file). Use
TYPE:ASCII if the file is normal text, TYPE:BIN if it's squeezed, libraried or
ARCed, or is an executable (compiled) program. Anything that has characters
with the high bit set should be uploaded as binary.
Yell if you have any more specific questions. – Bela

Bela, ARC!!!

Will be uploading by Wednesday at the latest thanks to your help. It's a
connected series of five Basic progs, and will also be uploading a short
doc file for those who don't want to become registered users.
I have heard of the LAR process, but have not used, so won't be using
this time. Feel free to LAR the file at that end if it will help any.
Yours,
Ewan Grantham

If the files are at all long I would highly recommend using the ARC utility
online here. With just a little investigating you should be able to ARChive the
files with NO problem and it compacts it even smaller than SQ and LAR.
