You could try adding the /B flag to the COPY command on the PC side to say
it is a binary file?
Also if copying program files it is a good idea to ZIP them up first to
preserve the dataspace settings stored in file headers for such files. The
QL versions of the ZIP/UNZIP programs know how to handle this so if you
unzip them under the emulator these settings get preserved.
Yes - zipping is an excellent idea, even for text files. That way with
this form of raw copying you can be sure when the file is unzipped
successfully it will be OK, as well as preserving the file headers of
execables.
In the dim and distant past I sold a file transfer program for each
end. However the PD qtpi at the QL end and a file transfer program the
other using Zmodem (for instance) will help.
The QL serial is not too reliable, especially at 9600bps.
