Date: Sun 19-Oct-1989 00:00:14 From: Unknown Subject: ASCII Files and Trabnsfers Please forgive the naive questions but I know very little about the NeXT computer. (1) Can I transfer an ASCII file from another computer to a NeXT via modem? Can a conventional modem be used with NeXT or is the DSP chip a modem emulator, too? (2) Is there a way to convert an ASCII file to the format used by the NeXT "word processor"? Thanks.

You can transfer anything without error-correction but, to get error free transfers, you need to use uucp, which comes with the machine or install kermit which you can get most anywhere. Many modems are supported but, you can muck with chat scripts and the like to get nearly anything to work. >(2) Is there a way to convert an ASCII file to the format used by the >NeXT "word processor"? Yeah. Run WriteNow and open the ascii file.
