169.0. "questions" by FREKE::LEIGH () Wed Jul 20 1988 20:47

  I have only attempted to use WHACK/STRANSF once and was wondering if
  others have found WHACK to have trouble at 9600, like dropping characters,
  scren freezing, etc.

  ALso, does STRANSF support wildcarding?  If I want do up/download all *.PAS
  for example, can I do it?  (without typing each one?)

thanks

Yup. Release 9 tops out at about 350 characters/second.  It get's better
if you do XON/XOFF at the LAT level.  I'll investigate this.

Nope, but you could write a DCL command file to do it for uploading. 
I think STRANSF is smart enough to find the real terminal for doing
actual transfers.
