Saving text files using XMODEM
Before you can use
XMODEM, find out ff
the other computer is
set up to send files
using XMODEM.
Also, find out what
error-checking
mechanism is
supported on the
other computer,
Checksum or CRC.
Also, find out if the file
you will receive is
ASCII (a DOS file) or
a word processing
file.
You can receive text files without errors from being sent from one location to
another. The other choices for receiving files do not check for errors.
l_ To receive a file using XMODEM:
1. Insert the diskette labelled Communication.
2. Click on the File Manager icon from the Main Menu; then click on the drive A
icon. The contents of the diskette appear.
3. Double-click on Communication. The Communication window appears.
4. When you see CONNECT on your screen, select Receive XMODEM from the
File menu. A dialog box appears.
5. Select the directory you want.
6. Select the type of f'de you are receiving. You have the following two choices:
• Text. Select Text if the file you are receiving is a DOS text file
(ASCII).
• Binary. Select Binary if the file you are receiving is a Word
Processing or a Gsaphic file. _-
7. S_elect how you want to check for errors. There are two choices; both give you
the file without errors in sending:
• Checksum. This is a simple method of checking for file corruption
during sending and receiving.
• CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check). CRC is more sophisticated than
Checksum. It is a good idea to select it ff the sending computer
supports it.
8. Type the name of a file.
9. Click on Receive. The status screen at the le_ appears showing you the
progress of the transfer. If errors increase dramatically, you may have a
poor line connection. In that case, consider canceling the transfer and
trying again later.
