EDXPC - Download File to PC Program
The EDXPC program downloads a source text file from the IBM Series/1 computer
to a personal computer (pc) connected to the Series/1. Letters, numbers and
special characters are supported, however binary and packed data fields must
be converted to display format prior to downloading. The EDXPC program is
loaded from a pc attached to the Series/1 and prompts the operator for the
name of the text file to be displayed (transferred). The pc runs in a
Terminal Session under Windows to transfer data displayed on the screen to
a disk file in ASCII format.
The EDXPC program is written in the Event Driven Language (EDL) and runs under
the EDX operating system associated with the IBM Series/1 computer.
The EDXPC program supports the following operator commands:
- TF - Transfer source edit file by displaying it on the pc.
- TP - Transfer any disk file by displaying it on the pc. The operator is
prompted for the record length, block size, beginning record number
and number of record to transfer.
- EN - End EDXPC program.
The EDXPC utility program costs only $95 (US) plus shipping and handling ($25) and
includes the EDL source code on 8" diskette.
