INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSFERING Z88 FILES TO YOUR Z88
              
              Construct a serial cable for your QL or IBM as described
         in my UPDATE article. Radio Shack has all the parts you need.
         You may be  able  to  get  the  parts  for  less  at  another
         electronics  outlet. You  may get  assistance on  soldering a
         cable at your local Users Group or a computer repair shop may
         be able  to  make  a  cable  for  you.  I  can  also  provide
         additional assistance if you need it.
              Most of the Z88  programs on  the disk  are in  the Z88s
         tokenized  format. They are ready to run on the Z88. You will
         need  an xmodem program on your desktop machine and an xmodem
         program on  your Z88 to  transfer the files.  I would suggest
         using Procomm on your IBM and Q_Link on your QL. A Z88 xmodem
         program is included on the disk.
              The files Z88COM.CLI  and  PHONE.LOG  will  need  to  be
         transfered through the Z88 Import/Export program. Procomm and
         Q_Link can both send  ascii files  or you  can write  a basic
         program  to do it. Read the terminal program documentation if
         you are unsure of how  to  send  ascii  files.  Basically  in
         Q_Link you  select the document functions  with F4 and follow
         the menu choices.  In Procomm  you press  the PageUp  key and
         follow the menu choices. You can customize Ascii transfers in
         Procomm by selecting ALT S and choosing ascii setup.
              It is important that the baud rate, parity, word length,
         and stop bits  are set to  exactly the same  settings on both
         the  sending and receiving machines or the transfers will not
         work. On the Z88  panel  set  Transmit  baud  rate  to  9600,
         Receive baud rate to 9600, Parity None and Xon/Xoff to No. In
         Procomm at ALT P select 9600,N,8,1 and COM1. In Q_Link select
         9600 baud, 8 bit and SER2IR.
              In Z88 Import/Export  select  R  for  receive  and  your
         filename but don't press Enter yet. Go through the ascii file
         send procedure  on your desktop and  select a filename. Press
         enter on  both machines at the same  time and the file should
         be transfering.
              Once you have Z88COM.CLI in  your  Z88  go  through  the
         procedure to make this into a Z88 BASIC file. This is on page
         201 of the Z88 manual. Make sure all the characters are flush
         with the left  side of  the screen.  Save the  resulting file
         with a .bas extension. and you are in business. You will also
         need the PHONE.LOG file for Z88COM to operate.
              Now you can forget about Import/Export and use Z88COM to
         transfer the  remaining files. It is  a much simpler process.
         In Z88COM select S or R to send or receive and a filename. In
         Procomm select PageUp  or PageDown,  Xmodem and  filename. In
         Q_Link  select X for  Xmodem. It will  ask you CRC  (Y or N).
         Select N as Z88COM only  has  Checksum.  Select  a  filename.
         Press Enter  on both machines at the  same time and your file
         should be  transfering. For  additional information  read the
         documentation  for  your  terminal  program.  For  additional
         information on Z88COM read Z88COM.DOC on the disk.
              I have  tried to include everything  you need to archive
         Z88  files on your IBM  or QL with the  exception of a cable.
         The files CRLF for the IBM and Eoln_exe on the QL convert Z88
         files to  a form that you can type  or view. They can also be
         imported  into a word processor. Check out ZFU.BAS to greatly
         enhance the archiving  process. This  is a  shareware program
         and well worth the money to the author.
              Have fun  looking through all the  files and programs on
         the disk. If  you need  additional assistance  please contact
         me.   David Bennett
