I appreciate the humor and kick in the butt. I know I'm a little rough around
the edges sometimes. Often intentionally, sometimes not, usually with wink,
always with an underlying message.
My intent is/was to emphasize, once again, that there are at least four other

Yeah, bad form to pollute this group with R83 when there are at least four
other groups where this discussion would be welcome And exposed to a wider
audience which could actually respond.

Tony (and David),
First, the TRS-80 Model I rules. Long live the Trash-80! That was my
first computer and where I learned BASIC. I converted the old horse race
game from a Microdata to the Trash-80 then modified it so that the horses
races based on odds then paid off the same way. That is how

Couple of questions to make sure I'm on the right tack here
I believe the issue is that in R83 there are the multiple items broken up into
Include items. So try this:
BASIC MIGRATION.BP XBASICthat should compile with no issues
CATALOG MIGRATION.BP XBASIC
SSELECT MIGRATION.BP = “SAVE]”
XBASIC
File =MIGRATION.BP
Item.Name = enter

Do I create the MIGRATION.BP both in R83 and in jBase?
Yes. And the R83 side is already done for you. Note also that the R83 code is
broken into a number of includes to keep it
well guys, I have my two boxes side by side with R83 running on a Pentium 233,
and my newer xp/pro/jbase box running beside it. Both are connected with a
serial cable and I am able to log on to R83 using Netterm. Next step is to
get familiar with Accuterm. So far, so good. Thanks Dave.
Congrats on progress so far.
It would have been nice for the MVDBMS group to have benefit from the
non-jBase aspects of this effort. Oh well.

Mike - he doesn't have serial ports and you think he'd have a USB
port? J
A serial port is just a ISA/PCI card, easy to find in most junk shops
these days for a couple bucks. I have a box full of them.
From there Dave needs a properly pinned serial cable so that he can
reach out from one PC
hey guys. See my previous post. I have my serial conection to R83 working
just fine. No need for any further hardware recomendations. :)) Dave From:

You need to add the other partition in your boot.ini. Windows does
not need to understand it, it just needs to know it is there.

Partition Commander is the only product outside of our industry that I

you can multi-boot back and forth.
For this non-jBase phase of your effort I recommend posting to the

Yes, that's how it works. One site has been using it for nightly R83

If this file is on the PICK box, then I must be able to specify it's location
in Accuterm, and also where I want to save the restore file. How am I doing?

Almost there! The Saved files are pulled from AccuTerm into your XP.
So when the save is complete, you have a directory with a bunch of
files on your PC. If nothing else you now have a good backup of R83
and it's time to take a vacation!
When you're ready, open a connection into jBase, check
