 	I wrote and asked for some help a few weeks ago for linking help. 
I had explained that I had built the pararell link and used cal. The odd 
thing was that I could write programs on the TI and transmit them to the 386.
I couldn't transmit all the programs from TI calc's archives. The thing 
was frustrating because the link worked but all the advice I got was for 
diddling with the link. So it boiled down to a character by character 
comparison between a program I wrote on the TI and a small program from 
the archives. I did this with a 386 running dos 6 and a 286 running 
dos 5 sitting right next to each other. I had been copyiny the archive file
character by character using ascii code in edit, when I noticed that the 
right arrow symbol 10 was represented by ^z on the 386. That is NOT the 
representation when a TI file is viewed through edit. The right arrow 
symbol from the 286 matched the symbol on the archive file. Bingo! The 
light went off and I transfered everything to the 286 and it transmits 
like a champ. SO... the question is.... are those control characters 
represented in different ways or... is the 386 (GASP!) too fast for the TI?
