error. COMMON SENSE includes two such protocols: CompuServe
" B" and XMODEM.
CompuServe " B" Protocol is a proprietary file transfer protocol of
CompuServe, Inc. which is used to send and receive files between
your Commodore computer and CompuServe. It is a totally auto­
matic process; once you indicate that you wish to send/receive
using " B," the two computers will handle all communications with­
out your intervention. The top status line will indicate the current
status of the transfer as it occurs. Please note that the B Protocol
Inhibit must be off: the " B" must be showing on the bottom status
line for the process to work. Also note that if the transfer is aborted
for any reason, COMMON SENSE will automatically turn on the
Inhibit: you must turn it off again yourself.
XMODEM is a file transfer protocol used between many different
kinds of computers, and is a semi-automatic process. When com­
municating with host computers, such as BBS's or mainframe ser­
vices, the host will normally tell you when you should begin the
XMODEM protocol. When talking with other personal computer
users, you should first agree to begin the process before doing so.
You begin XMODEM by pressing OX and then answering the ques­
tions prompted. Use (RUN/STOP) to abort a transfer; otherwise the
process will continue until completed. Translation control is active
during XMODEM sequentiai file transfers. The normal situation is
that the Transmit and Receive Toggles are " on" and data sent or
received is translated from/to PET ASCII and standard ASCII. Use
these settings when transferring sequential (text) files to non-
Commodore computers. Turn off Transmit Translate when upload­
ing (sending) to a Commodore system; turn off Receive Translate
when downloading (receiving) from a Commodore system.
