them in a .SHK file, Z-modem them to the PC, and use Nulib (v3.24) to unshrink
the files in PC Text format.
Otherwise, you are probably better off doing a Text transfer. Set your A2
telecom program to "send LF's". If there is a "Prompting" option it should be
OFF. Do an "ASCII Text", "Plain Text", etc. Send. The PC telecom program should
be set to Receive Text if this option is available. If it is not, you will be
able to select and save the text from the PC program's display or save the text
from some capture buffer.
Some programs with a "Receive Text" option may expect some end-of-send
signal which the sending program does not supply. Pressing CTRL-X on the Apple
II or ESC on the PC often seems to work okay for terminating the Send. For
example, Telemate will ask if you wish to abort the transfer-- you answer "Y"es-
- but, the file will still be saved on the PC.
Other programs may expect you to click something to signal the end of a
transfer. If you are using HyperTerm to receive text on your PC, you select
"Stop" in the Transfer--Capture menu to end the transfer.

Appleworks 5.x seems to do a pretty good job of cleaning up text files from
the net. (e.g. it automatically clears out the annoying LF's which show up in
most text file viewers.) There is, also, a standard Awks macro which will get
rid of end-of-every-line CR's.

006- Does anyone have directions for making a "NULL
Modem" cable?
A typical NULL modem is two Dsub 25-pin female sockets (call them "A" and
"B") wired back-to-back as follows ...
Socket-A Socket-B
2 -> 3
3 -> 2
4 -> 5
5 -> 4
6 & 8 -> 20
7 -> 7
20 -> 6 & 8
Note: 6 & 8 are connected at each socket. (That is, if you are making a cable
instead of using back-to-back sockets, you do not want to run 6 and 8 separately
to pin 20 on the other socket. For back-to-back sockets, it's okay to run
separate short leads if you like.)
