    Hi.  I finally got a 2400 baud modem today for my Amiga.  I decided
    on the CTS Datacom 2424(whatever) for $299 mail-order.  I want to
    try it out, and I have the following items ready to use:
    
        XMODEM for both the vax and Amiga
        ARC16 and 22 on the Vax
    
    Now, all I need is some sort of Amiga Chop program for after XMODEM
    transfers.  I know I'll probably need a Basic one and a binary one
    since you can't run a binary program till you chop it.
    
    Also, I am looking for the sources to ARC and a program called Tracker,
    which converts an Amiga disk into about 8 files for modem transfer.
    
    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

|     Are you sure that Dave Wecker's VT100 emulator doesn't autochop?
    I use Comm133 for the commercial networks, and it autochops.
    By the way, ARC files need not be chopped.
    
    I have a utility called 'FIXOBJ' that autochops XMODEM transfers
    that weren't chopped.  I will upload it as an ARChive to...
    
    	JAKE::USER2:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]
    
    To use FIXOBJ, type.."FIXOBJ 'oldname' 'newname' "
    
    Check my directory on Friday night, since I will not be home tonight.

| 354.2 | If Its ARCed You Need Not Chop | AUTHOR::MACDONALD | WA1OMM Listening 224.64 | Thu Feb 26 1987 12:11 | 6 | 
|     You needn't bother with a chop program if you are downloading an
    ARC'ed file. Nearly all the programs I have ever downloaded have
    been ARC'ed.

|     Yeah, but to download the ARCheive program, you have to be able
    to chop it.

| Re: .3 If you use Kermit to download the software, then you do not need to chop it (unless the software was uploaded with XMODEM). | |||||
