I have been using two `tee' processes to xfer files between V6 & 4.2BSD. Logon to the destination machine, pick a non-login port & stty it to the proper baud rate, raw, tabs, no echo, & tandem if you have it. Connect a cross-cable (null modem) from this port to the source machine. Type `tee file < /dev/ttyxx & tee > /dev/ttyxx'. You are now running a poor man's `cu'. Sounds gross, but it works (only on ascii files). You might want to write a program that cuts up the output of something like `more *.c'. Good luck! jim cottrell@nbs */
