[irised] advice needed: moving data

[Robert J. Mellors]

You might be able to transfer via the serial port using kermit
(http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/)
although I have not used this program this millennium so
I am not completely sure. It may be necessary to use
"binary" mode for sac files; also log in as admin.
Note that kermit 95 has a free trial.

I don't know if kermit supports directories; you might
try compressing all the files (try winzip maybe) - actually,
that may reduce the size for your zip drive.

                                         Rob M

ps. you will need a cable to connect the serial ports also....
