The question is, how can we upload/download HP pascal programs to a central
internet site (or any other computer) using binary mode ftp?
If you haven't come across this problem before it goes as follows:
if you transfer an HP pascal program ( .CODE file) to another computer and
then transfer the file back from the remote computer to the HP, the HP will
not execute the program saying `it is not a CODE file'. Although the file
comes back with the same name, the HP operating system doesn't consider it
a .CODE file any longer!
If you use NRC's Fusion software on your HP, NRC have a special transfer
mode for doing this (though BD didn't include it in their version of
Fusion; FACSnet!).
I thought I'd got around this problem years ago, but on coming back to it I
don't think I had. The standard HP pascal manuals, that BD supply, talk
about the different file types but not in enough detail.
If anyone knows of a way to solve this problem or how HP implement the file
types in the operating system I'd be keen to know. A few solutions come to
mind but without the above knowledge I haven't made any progress yet.
Thanks,
Leon.
