- I was try to transfer the TRon to my HP48 from my computer.
- I saved the tron file from this newsgroup to my VMS/VAX account.
- Then, I edited file so only the ASCII part is there. I then
- seted up kermit to transfer it to my HP48. I have already
- transferd directories like Tetris to from HP48 to computer
- and back with no problem. Meanwhile, My HP48 have about 2.8K
- left, which is enough for the 1.9k Tron.
- I started to transfer, and whenver it gets to packet
- 161, it goes "insufficnent memory"! Now, I wonder why.
- I tried to transfer it 3 times,(useing binary mode).
- Then, I tried to use ASCII mode, still says insufficent memory.
- Can anyone tell me why?
- Also, what's mode I am suppose to use when to transfer
- file between HP and the computer? The instruction book says
- use ASCII though it's slower. But someone already suggested
- me to use binary to avoid errors. I am confused, please help.
- Thanks in advance!
