5.4.2.
Transparent Mode
Packet-Radio is an ideal means of transferring data between computers. Converse Mode
works well for transferring ASCII text files. However, some files use all eight bits of each
byte, rather than the seven bits used in ASCII code.
In addition, executable code files, such as CP/M ".CMD" or ".COM" and PC/MS-DOS
".COM" or ".EXE" files, contain characters that conflict with the control characters used in
Converse Mode. Listings of BASIC programs and documents written with word processors
that don't create ASCII files can also pose this problem. Use the Transparent Mode to
transfer these type of files.
Like Converse Mode, Transparent Mode is a data transfer mode. But, in Transparent Mode
"special" characters do not exist – everything you type (or everything your computer
sends to your PK-232) is transmitted exactly as it is received by your PK-232.
