Instructions for using the         
ADMBOO.ASM program from            
Compuserve's Family Computing      
Forum.

1)  Download the ADMBOO.ASM program
from DL6 using the DC2/DC4         

protocol.  Make sure you have the  
character filter OFF!

2)  Use the CP/M transient program 
ADAM to transfer the program from  
your EOS (ADAM) format disk to a   
CP/M format disk.

3)  Compile the program using the  
ASM assembler program.  If the     
program does not compile correctly,
go back to step 1.

4)  Load the program using the LOAD
transient.  This will create a     
program called ADMBOO.COM.  You can
now delete the ADMBOO.PRN and      
ADMBOO.HEX files, if you want to   
conserve room.

5)  You are now ready to call a    
database which uses XMODEM or      
MODEM7 protocol (also called       
Chrstainsen protocol) to transfer  
data.  This method takes quite a   
bit longer than simple downloading 
because it does extensiver error   
checking and correction.  But, it  
is the only way to transfer .COM   
programs over phone lines!

6)  Call the BBS of your choice    
using ADAMLINK.

7)  Log in and get to the point at 
which you want to transfer         
programs.

8)  Boot your CP/M disk with ADMBOO
on it using the following format   
ADMBOO filename.ext.  For example  
if the file you wish to download is
to be called F83.COM on your       
system you would type "ADMBOO      
F83.COM" (without the quotes of    
course).

9)  You will now be in terminal    
mode.  Whatever you type here will 
go out through the modem just as in
ADAMLINK.  The only difference is  
that you are stuck with CP/M's 80  
character screen.

10)  When you are at the place     
where the system says it is ready  
for the transfer simply type the   
ESCAPE key start the transfer.

11)  Do not worry if the transfer  
seems to take a while.  You will   
see nothing on your screen while   
the transfer is taking place, but, 
you should see the disk drive go on
once every two to three minutes.

12)  When the transfer is complete 
you will be back in CP/M.  Simply  
invoke ADMBOO again using either   
the name of the next file you want 
to download or a dummy file name (I
use X.X) to return to terminal      mode.

13)  At this point you can either  
log off the BBS or continue        
transerring programs.  If you want 
to log off, simply log off the     
database in the usual way and type 
CONTROL-E to exit ADMBOO.

14)  ADMBOO will NOT hang up the   
phone!!!  To hang up the phone     
either turn ADAM off or boot       
ADAMLINK again.  Caution:  Booting 
ADAMLINK will hang up the phone, do
NOT do this until you have logged  
off the BBS!
