I see a lot of software in the libraries here and on Compuserve that I could use on the GS at school, but I would have to download it on the Mac and transfer it to the GS. Is there a way to do that? I've used Apple File Exchange for text files, but will that work for programs? Or would a cheap communications program for the GS and a null modem be the way to go? Help! Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: A cheap program 90-05-12 21:53:24 EDT From: A GibberFC Posted on: America Online Terminal software and the modem would probably be your best bet... Unless you used Apple file Exchange and then used a utility to filetype the program back to a nufx document... But I don't really know if that would work... I could try it tonight..

A Superdrive equipped Mac is needed ONLY for moving MS-DOS files. The 800k drive in the Plus is capable of reading/writing ProDOS disks.

Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: Converting filetype 90-10-25 01:23:35 EDT From: GS Express Posted on: America Online If the files you are downloading are ShrinkIt archives, you won't need to worry about changing the filetype. ShrinkIt checks the header in the file itself to determine if the file is a valid archive. Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: Converting file type 90-10-26 20:22:43 EDT From: Imma Posted on: America Online In other words, I download, then Apple File Exchange, then open the archives in Shrinkit?

Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: IIGS/Mac/filetype changes 90-11-23 19:55:30 EDT From: JohnR65 Posted on: America Online If you don't have shrinkit for the apple if you will e-mail me your address I will ship you a copy, or maybe you can get someone from AO to ship you a copy. I have been downloading for my wife for some time. If the file is shrunk then you can transfer with AFE no problem. However, if the file is not shrunk then it is necessary to know the file type and use one of the utilities available to change the type. AFE looses the filetype when it converts an uncompressed program. There is also a listing of filetypes online in the software libraries. One additional item, if you have MS Works for the Mac, you can download the software libraries in shrunk format-AFE them-unshrink them and then AFE them back to the Mac with the Works-Works transporter and access the info on the Mac. One note on the filetype changing. It's a pain and I have had questionable luck because sometimes you can't find out what the type is. I had better luck getting an AO disk for the GS and using it with a modem to download the straight programs. --------GOOD LUCK-----Bob------:) Alias JohnR65 Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: IIgs to Mac SE Postscript Xfer 90-12-20 04:34:06 EDT From: Bill278 Posted on: America Online Hi, hep me! I need to use a friend's laserwriter which is hooked up to Mac SE across town. I've tried using AFE, but the dealer says my friend (Jim) needs a Superdrive to run AFE and recognize Prodos disks. True?? I don't know. So, we're working on xferring the Publish It! made Postscript files via modem. I have Proterm, he has White Knight. Are there any things I should know, any tips?

Bill278 Path: Terminal Software/Mac SE to IIgs file transfer Subj: Laser transfer 90-12-20 23:25:10 EDT From: AFC GaryG Posted on: America Online All you need to do is upload the Postscript Encapsulated file to his mac via X/Y or Zmodem, then let him import it to his WP and print it out.

We currently have CPM Crosstalk 3.0 for IIe and Microphone II 3.0 for Mac. We could transfer one file at a time (whew!) but how can we simply transfer files in batches without constant attention? Is there any way to redirect IIe output directly to Mac where Mac telcom can take over? Or is there a way to compress files into a single file and then de-compress?

If you could find a CPM telecom program that could handle the job of batch transfers and using a null modem cable from the IIe to the Mac, the job would be very fast and simple. I know less than zero about CPM telecom applications. I would suggest that you contact AFL Jack over in the MS-DOS/CPM Forum on the Mac side. Jack is quite knowledgeable on CPM.

One of you will be in 'Waiting for a call' mode and the other simply dials the other computer's phone number. You will be able to chat and transfer files. If you want to do more, you will have to install some BBS System Software at one end. In short, set up a BBS. You can use some terminal software in 'unattended mode'.

Subj: Time? 91-03-02 17:39:47 EDT From: AFA RickD Posted on: America Online You dnt need to take much time at all. All you need is a terminal program that can both call out and answer the phone. Hook the phone to your modem, call the other number with your terminal pgm, and hope the other guy put his on ANSWER... once the modem that you are calling sees the ring, it will pick up the phone and connect you through. If you use Proterm (I recommend it), the calling out system will put in the phone number of the receiving system. Then dial it... The receiving system has set the compuer up to be the ANSWER system... or "Unattended Mode"... you may put a password if you like. The caller will have to put that password in, so that he can get through... Anway, it will take all of 10 minutes to set up the system once you put Proterm in, boot it up the first time, and then hook up the phone line. Once the setup has been gone through, all you have to do is hit return a few times to dial out... and, for the answering system, just put it in unattended mode.. all that takes two keystrokes. It wont take you any time at all... Path: Terminal Software/Computer to computer set-up????

Subj: Transfering files 91-04-01 23:02:28 EDT From: AFL DannyH Posted on: America Online Need help regarding the exchanging of HyperStudio stacks. I want to send stacks from my school in southern California to a sister school in New Jersey. 1 - What kind of comm software do I need to do that? Any com software will do as long as it has file transfer protocols. If both of you use the same software, then the transfer will be done automatically. That is, the one at the receiving end would not have to do anything special to recieve the file. For example, if both of you are using PTP, you start the file transfer, the PTP at the other end will sense the transfer mode and automatically go into Receive a File mode without the second person having to manually select this function. PACK the file prior to sending with ShrinkIt. 2 - Does the receving end need the same software? See above answer. 3 - Would Beagle Bros. "Point to Point" be an answer? See above answer. 4 - My sister school already has something called DataLink? If you use two different term applications, the one at the recieving end will have to manually set their software to Receive a File mode. Thanks for your help. DMead Also.....how can I download GS stacks from America OnLine (I have only Macintosh software) to a GS? Just download the files to your Mac and then use a utility from the AUT (ask AFA Warren for the exact utility, he's done this for me) to convert the file from Mac format to Prodos format. This would be done on the GS. Or I believe you can use a utility that came with your Mac to convert the file to Prodos. I know you can convert Prodos to Mac, I believe it works in both directions. dannyhaynes Path: Terminal Software/AO to Mac SE to Apple IIc+ ????

IT WORKS!!! I wouldn't say that I was skeptical, but what a surprise! Too bad Apple hasn't figured this out with their FST's for the GS yet!!! Comments: This thing really works, so well that I have almost nothing to say except thanks. However, one "little" item I noticed... Identifying the proper format to save to could use a little work. I had to quit, go into IconEd, and load an icon to find out what kind of filetype I really wanted to save to. (i.e. text, most common for me I'd suppose, is $04.) Other than that, its great. Suggestions: Since this can be done as a Mac->Apple utility, how about the ability to format as a Mac disk, and then save files in a Mac format. Apple->Mac? That'd about be the clincher! I notice that the Macs are just now really being able to conveniently transfer between Prodos and Mac formats, why shouldn't we be able to? And this was a LOT faster than I've seen the Macs do the same operation from their side of things! This is a MOST progressive step in the link between the AppleII/Mac world I've seen on our side of things. It is GREATLY appreciated!
