I'm having a problem with MacTerminal 1.1.  I'm using Macput to put a file
to my Macintosh.  The file is 293K long.  I have 292K remaining on my disk.
Presto!  The dialogue box shows up and says "You are over!"

Okay, so I put in another disk in my other disk drive and I say transfer.
Again it says I am over.  I tried swapping disks between drives and changing
the settings to look look at the other drive.  No matter what I do, it still seems to insists
that I am over.  Anyone have any hints?

Also, I have a copy of the VersaTerm program which works really nicely.
There is an interest around here for Tektronix emulatorsemulators and I
was wondering if there would be any problem if I made a copy of the Versa
Term program for people to use around here.  Anyone know if it's copyrighted
or in any other way antisocial for me to do this?

Try opening a MacTerminal document on your second disk (either from the
finder or by closing the current one and opening the new one).  Terminal
then uses the other disk as the default and shouldn't have any problem.

Use the "-n" flag of macput and the format "volume:name". For example
to send the file fedit to a disk called "another" you would say

	macput -n "another:fedit" fedit

It sounds to me like you have discovered a 'feature'.  The file
will go onto whichever diskette has the MacTerminal document on it.
This can be used to your advantage.  For example, put the system and
the MacTerminal application into a RAM disk, then put the MacTerminal
document on an empty disk.  You can now transfer almost a disk full.

Another aspect of this feature (at least using Mac to talk to a UTS)
is that you can close the document without logging off, move it to
another disk, open it again, and continue where you left off in the
same session!  I have used this to download several disks worth of
net.stuff at one sitting.

It's not necessary to close the current document.  Simply do a
"Save As" to get a dialog box.  Then eject the disk and insert a
blank one.  You may initialize at this point if needed.  Then
save the current document to the new disk (it helps if you have 
cleared the top of the document so it is as small as possible).  Now
anything you download from the host machine will go to the new disk.  
You have to be running off a copy of MacTerminal in a second 
drive or on a ramdisk.

By the way, if you aren't downloading files, putting MacTerminal on a
ramdisk defeats the infernal "inactivity disk startup" "feature"
that bugs so many (by making them quiet and fast!)
