| 1288.1 | Fish disk | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Apr 01 1988 08:39 | 5 |
| My first step was to copy the Fish disk that contained the VT100
program. It has a good implementation of Kermit. The store that
sold me the computer let me copy their Fish disk. Sorry, I don't
remember the number of the disk.

| 1288.2 | HERE THE SOLUTION!! | AEO825::LIEBAERT | | Fri Apr 01 1988 11:18 | 14 |
| Hello Michel,
I am also a NEW Amiga user, and I was in the same trouble:
How to get the FIRST XFR Program on the Amiga( on side VAX
no problems..)??
Happily , I know an another French DEC-AMIGA User who will
send me the FAMOUS Program in few days.
Let me know by mail if you need more...
Regards,
Francis.

| If you DON'T have access to VT100 from a 3.5" disk here is the easiest:
1) copy the VT100.BAS in COOKIE""::DISK$GZ_2:[WECKER.AMIGA] to your
uVAX and print it out (it is VERY short).
2) Type in the program. This will give you a VERY minimal vt100 emulator
running under basic (which can download software).
3) Use this program to downline load the uuencoded version of VT100
in the same directory (you probably will also need to download
uudecode).
4) Then expand the "real" vt100 on your machine.
This approach has worked for several people.

This will save you a few steps. On your Amoga Extras disk there
is a terminal emulator program in Amiga Basic. All you have to
do is modify the program a little to write to a file and to the
screen. You then use the program to log into the Mvax and type
the vt100.bas. This will put the program on floppy. You then load
that program and edit it out any garbage from the top and then save
it as a Basic program. You now have a VT100 Emulator. I would
place the program along with the changes in this file but my Amiga is
on the blink. This method is slow I was loading from a local Rainbow at
19200 and it took 20 minutes. But it would take you a lot longer
to type it in. And no typing mistakes.
Also there is a bug in the VT100 Ver 1.06 program. On long kermit
transfers (+25K file size) it will get an overflow in the DECODE:
routine To fix this you have to be quick. Click on the OK for the
error then click on the output window and type RDATA = 0. Then click
on CONTINUE.
The transfer will continue but it will get a lot of retrys. The data
will get across it just takes longer. I would suggest that you
transfer the VT200 program first along with the ARC program. I broke
the VT200 program into smaller ARC files on my Rainbow to make it
easier with the Vt100 bug. I can not be exact about the variable
that needs to be zeroed. But Amiga basic will outline the offending
statement. You have to get this before the Kermit Host times out.
On my rainbow that was fifty seconds. More than enough time as
long as you stay close.
Happy Kermiting
Alan

Vaxmate and onto a 5� inch disc. Could somenoe please give me a rundown
