next mission - 'kermit hop':)

[statespacedev]

well, huge thanks to merlyn's help, now that can boot simh into the same tops-10 'simh decwar' env he uses - time to look onward to next steps

looks like being able to use kermit to move .for and .mac files between 'another machine' and 'simh decwar' is a worthy milestone - let's call it 'mission, kermit hop'

btw, front panel kit arrived earlier this week and got that going - it's 'tied to' simh ka-10, so not directly applicable to our decwar stuff here - but fun anyway:)

create a little text file on tops10 side

.sos test2.txt
Creating TEST2.TXT
00100	hello world
00200	$
*e
[DSKB:TEST2.TXT]
.type test2.txt
00100	hello world

now can start kermit on tops10 side and send it over to raspi side

.r k10mit
TOPS-10 KERMIT version 3(136)
Kermit-10>set file byte-size 36-bit
Kermit-10>send test2.txt
, Sp\ @-#Y1~C
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
Kermit-10>

check it on raspi side

noah@raspberrypi:~/kermit $ cat test2.txt
0010�	hello world

wootwoot, got the source files hopped over from raspi to tops10! got stumped for a while because the 'keyboard config' was not sending backslash. had to change keyboard config from 'english us' to 'english uk'. facepalm.

here's the end of the story here. all's well that ends well. kermit is skipping the docs folder, which is perfect. just what we want! will push the full version of this to docs branch in a few minutes.

escape back to raspi side with ctrl-\c. keyboard has to really be sending backslash! then can simply send files. especially, 'send star dot star' from raspi decwar folder to copy them over to tops10 side.

.r setsrc
*cp [,,decwar]
*^C
.dir
%WLDDEM Directory is empty 
.r kermit
TOPS-10 KERMIT version 3(136)
Kermit-10>set file byte-size 36-bit

ctrl-\c

kermit seems to have skipped our 'docs folder' with 'send star dot star', which is perfect! we don't want it copied over to tops10 side in any case! fine with us:) @drforbin
