If you are interested in ARC programs there are a ton of them on GEnie. The one I'd recomment is ARC 2.30. You can also get the ARC aid program mentioned previously. I believe it includes an ARC to SDA converter. I also think there are easier programs to use to do that. The version of ARC that I have had no trouble at all with is ARC 2.30.

Is ARC128 on your disk, after SDA'ing? 3. If 1. is no, and 2 is yes, then type 'A:ARC128', and the commands should be displayed. Type A:ARC128/x or A:ARC128/e with CSDOS in drive 8, along with the proper drive and file name of the arc you want to dissolve, or.... 4. If 1 is no, then read the doc files about install, 'cause ARC128 does not come installed per the autoexec. Use the Type command to read the docs. ARC128 is disk based, if not installed in RAM. ------------ Category 3, Topic 5 Message 7 Mon Feb 26, 1990 STANLEYB at 19:14 EST Yes to both questions. I did install ARC128 into the REU and after typing in ARC/X all I got for a response was ?syntax error and then READY. This was of course after I got the menu for ARC. This seemed to be AOK but could get no response from the ARC program. Then tried to load ARC128 directly from the disk into core but this gave a [D [Ddifferent problem... the program would not even load. Got a systeerror trying to load the program like it could not recognize it as a program at all. I tried downloading the whole thing again thinking maybe I had a bad download but got the same results the second time. Has anyone else had a problem with this or is it just me? ------------ Category 3, Topic 5 Message 8 Mon Feb 26, 1990 C128-BILL [SYSOP] at 22:38 EST If I could make a suggestion, go back to the original SDA file (which would be file #7799, CS-DOS15.SFX) and after formatting a brand new disk, load the file into the 128, and dissolve it to this fresh disk. Do not place any other files on this disk. Now RUN"SHELL and type in the commands from my previous message. Make sure that you do not have any fast loaders (such as Jiffy-dos, etc) installed. Just on a side bet, have you checked your '71 drive alignment recently, and checked the REU? ------------ Category 3, Topic 5 Message 9 Wed Feb 28, 1990 STANLEYB at 20:05 EST Both the REU and '71 check out AOK. but still can't get ARC to respond.

It was all a missunderstanding of the information given in the DOCs file. You do not just type in ARC/n, You have to enter the full name ARC128/n. The documentation does not make that distinction and it is a little confusing (at least to me it was). To eliminate this problem, I renamed ARC128 to just plain ARC.

However, keep in mind that a BASIC implementation is ggoing to be limited to 300 baud transfers unless you are going to compile it, not the best route to go from an efficiency standpoint. There are also several source documents here on GEnie, but unfortunately not very mnemonically named.

I deleted it, then renamed the setup.1200 to des.setup. I havent had the problem since and I dont know why it started in the first place. I am having problems getting the ymodem batch to work with genie. After the prompt to start my download procedure, it just locks up. Any one out there have any suggestions......? ------------ ************ Topic 10 Tue Feb 06, 1990 F.PANETTIER1 at 20:49 CST Sub: Terminal Emulator Programs There are C128 Terminal Programs that can emulate the VT52, VT100, VT102, ADM31, TVI925, and the IBM3101, plus many others. It would be worthwhile if we could assemble a complete listing. Specificly, I need one to emulate IBM3270. 4 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 15, Topic 10 Message 4 Wed Feb 21, 1990 F.PANETTIER1 at 21:12 CST I guess it is never that easy! Our MIS supervisor does not have a listing of the ESC and CONTROL codes for the IBm M 3270. All he has is the program on DOS floppy discs. He tells me that the IBM 3270 is a commonly used term and that he hopes that someone, somewhere has made a Commodore program or patch to a program to allow me to use it. So, is there anyone out there who can help me?

For the last month or soo, if the download is aborted, GENIE will come back saying "Download aborted by user" and give the download information. After this when it gets back to the Page 626 prompt it will not take any input from my computer, all it says is "line too long - retype it". I tried using control C, control X, and the escape key but none of this makes any difference. The only way out of GENIE that I have found is to hang up. I would like to find out what is the problem. Is it my terminal program or is it just the way GENIE is suppose to work? ------------ ************ Topic 15 Thu Mar 01, 1990 J.RHODES4 at 06:32 EST Sub: Lt. Kernal for Sale Lt.
