Anybody out there still using c128 for downloading files?
I can d/l okay but apparently my old csh shell has been changed to
tcsh, and all the upload cmds are different with tcsh. I can download
any files (cbm) stuff from videocam.net.au and other sites where cbm
software is avlbl, but I can upload anything due to the myriad of
switches required by TCSH shell. Any help would be appreciated.
I was used to using the
rz (cr) (then get ready to received file)
I then set my defaults as "prg" for binary files or "seq" for text.
used the C= U (upload cmd in dialogue) and choose "y" modem
as trasfer protocol. It starts reading my file from the disk okay
but every block sent is reported as "bad". Same thing if use the
rx finame command xmodem or xmodem 1k all files blocks are
received bad at the isp.
I test for which shell I have in use with
echo $RANDOM (which is supposed to return the c-shell type)
Instad I get "unrecognized command".
Help

Joe (aka kilroy)

I don't think it's your shell. Are you sure you're still going through
an 8-bit clean connection? Do you have to telnet anywhere to get to your
shell (if you do, you might be on a 7-bit connection, and this will mess
up many protocols)?

This was such a problem with early versions of HyperLink that I decided
to just stick with 7-bit transmissions.

Well Cameron thanks for your view, but I am sure nothing has
changed at my end. Whether the unix shell isp has changed
I cant determine yet. The shell as I say was changed, and now
none of the cmds in my "Unix for Dummies" are valid anymore.
Checked the MANUAL, at lava.net and wow its got a whole page
of switches that have to be aplied somehow to the u/L command.
Will keep fighting it for a while and if unable will finally
put a laptop on in place of the C128.

It occurred to me that Joseph Fenn wrote in comp.sys.cbm:

Yeah. Well. Duh.

That's *never* gonna work. You tell the Unix end to accept a Z-modem transfer, and feed it an Y-modem transfer...

I test for which shell I have in use with
echo $RANDOM (which is supposed to return the c-shell type)

That is quite nonsense.

You mean

echo $SHELL

(And you'll get "Undefined variable")
