Technical data
Options The full syntax for
the
upload
program
is:
upload
-options
source_device-'lame
destination_folder
-'lame
The
options
are
summarized
below.
f File
by
file transfer. The upload
program
will ask for
the
name
of
each file. Without this option,
the
pro-
gram
will copy all
the
files
on
the
source disc
when
both
the
source
and
destination
names
are
given
in
the
argument
string.
n Suppresses expansion of
the
logical record
in
the
HP-UX Technical BASIC
data
file. Without this
op-
tion,
the
program
will create a
DATA
file
that
has
logical record size 12.5
percent
larger
than
that
of
the
Series 80 file. For example,
if
the
Series 80 file
contains 24 byte logical records, the
uploaded
file
will contain 24 byte logical records
with
the
n
op-
tion,
or
27 byte logical records
without
the
option.
For applications requiring
random
access to
each
record,
do
not
suppress expansion of logical record
size.

All Series 80

files will
be
uploaded
as HP-UX
text files. This
option
ignores
the

name
conven-
tions to allow
uploading
of
DATA
files to HP-UX
ASCII text files
without
renaming
them.
Disables
the
non-'printing character conversion
rou-
tine. Without this
option
non-printing
characters
will
be
converted
to a character string
starting
with
the
BASIC metacharacter ("")
when
an
HP-UX text
file is created.
French, Spanish, HP-86B English language
options
(used
with
-e
option). This
option
will cause
the
non-displayable characters to
be
mapped
to
the
lan-
guage character set specified. For example,
in
Series
80 BASIC,
the
A character is
mapped
to
the
ASCII
"NAK" character.
If
it is
uploaded
to
an
HP-UX text
file, using
the
-e3
option, this nondisplayable char-
acter will
be
mapped
to ASCII A (decimal 216),
instead
of
being escaped
with
the
string """ 21".
