| I frequently use Whack at 19,200 baud both through DECserver and
directly connected to a DZV terminal line. I also have used
Uniterm/KERMIT this way. It's easier than using a modem. You follow
the same instructions, but skip the part about dialing the modem, etc.
You use any standard DEC null modem cable, such as you would use for
connecting a VT220 or other terminal. The one on my desk is a
BC22D-10.
To be really simplistic:
- Make sure EMULATOR.ACC and CONTROL.ACC are loaded on the ST. They
came with mine - I think they all have it.
- Connect to the system with a null modem cable as you would any random
terminal.
- Call down the VT52 emulator desk accessory.
- Set baud rate for 9600
- Go back to the emulator and log in as you would a VT52.
If you can get that far, you should be able to extrapolate for running
Whack or Uniterm, and even for using KERMIT and STRANSF, by following
the same instructions the modem users follow.

| If you have access to a 3100 then i found this to be the easiest way:
1) Format a floppy on the atari for 720k (double sided - normal
format. No special TWISTER format etc.)
2) Using a public domain program called IBMFMT, format
the same disk on the atari. Thus you have formatted the
one disk twice.
Now you have a disk that has been formatted for the ST and IBM/3100 etc.
Now from the Vax end :
3) copy pcdisk.exe disk:[directory]*
If you want the pcdisk.exe then i'll copy you one. Also set up these
logicals, i have them in a file called PCDISK.COM, but it is only
these 3 lines :
4) $define sys$share disk:[directory],sys$library
$define sys$help disk:[directory],sys$sysroot:[syshlp]
$pcdisk == "$disk:[directory]pcdisk"
Now from VMS invoke the PCDISK utitlity.
5) $pcdisk
At the pcdisk prompt type the following :
6) PCDISK> use b: madala$dua2: /write
Replace madala$dua2: for your VMS device name for the floppy. Note
the prompt has now changed. Now import the file onto the floppy disk.
7) B:\> import [directory]filename.txt b:
Exit.
8) B:\> exit
Just to be sure, go back into PCDISK and check the contents of the floppy :
9) $pcdisk
PCDISK> use b: madala$dua2: /write
B:\> dir b:
.
.
.
B:\> exit
I think that if you check the contents of the floppy inbetween steps 7
and 8 then it remembers what you have put there, instead of actually
doing a directory of the floppy.
Now all you need do is take the floppy home, and read it from your ST!
Cheers,
Lewis.

975.4 | Isn't this a TOS dependancy? | UPWARD::SANDERSB | Resist much, Obey little | Tue Oct 02 1990 15:53 | 3 |

Is this double formating or formating on a MS-DOS machine always
required? I understand that TOS V1.4 fixed this problem.

975.5 | Problem with PCDISK | HAN01::SCHOLZ | They called him 'The Brain' | Wed Oct 10 1990 07:26 | 21 |
| re .3
Lewis,
I did everything exactly how you described in your reply.
the result is the following:
When I do the IMPORT (even with the /LOG qualifier) PCDISK says
%PCDISK-I-IPD, file.dat imported to A:\file.dat
and a DIR command verifies that message. The file is shown in the
directory of the floppy. But when you EXIT from PCDISK and start
it again and USE the same floppy again it is completely empty.
During this procedure it is strange that the USE command takes a little
time, but the IMPORT command return immediate with the prompt and the
message.
Any Ideas

975.6 | Have a look in 730.* | EVTAI1::LEGER | Vous avez dit GRAPHIQUE ? | Wed Oct 10 1990 07:56 | 5 |

Have a look in notes 730.* ,730.30 and following.
Perhaps part of your pb.

975.10 | PATHWORKS also has them | EDDF10::ECKEL | No sports. | Mon Aug 22 1994 14:53 | 6 |
| The files are also supplied by pathworks, you can extract them from the
distribution save sets. They work without a license.
