Text file: If the file does not have the BIN extension, Pacterm:
(1) removes all control characters except those for carriage returns and
tabs, (2) adds line-feeds to carriage returns, so text will flow from line to
line rather than overwriting the same line again and again with each
carriage return, and (3) adds additional carriage returns and line feed
characters where needed to force the material to “wrap” appropriately
when it is displayed on a screen (after 75 or 80 characters, depending on
whether or not there is a space character at the beginning of a given line).
Note that since the backspace control character, used to backup and
overwrite typing errors before sending data, will be filtered out, both
original and corrected characters will remain in the data that are saved.
Technical note:
In both cases, Pacterm will add an “End of File” (EOF) code
(CTRL+Z) at the end of the data from the Holding Buffer.
ALT+F = Send a File to Your TNC
You can use Pacterm to send a file from your computer to your TNC, which is
then responsible for sending it on to your transceiver for transmission:
1. Use Pacterm to put your TNC in either Conversation Mode or Transparent
Mode connection with another station. In Conversation Mode, control char-
acters are interpreted as commands rather than as data. If you are sending a
text file for transmission by your TNC, you may wish to have the TNC in
Conversation Mode. If you want all control characters passed through as
data, use Transparent Mode. Do not have your TNC in Command Mode,
since it would then interpret data being sent to it by Pacterm as commands.
2. After setting up your TNC to handle the file it is going to receive from
Pacterm, press the ALT+F key combination to start the SEND file operation.
3. Pacterm will put a small square marker in the data-input area of the Terminal
Screen and wait for you to enter a DOS file name. Type the file name. Do not
include any blanks before or after the file name.

Hint:
If the file is in the current directory on a drive other than the current drive,
include the drive name (e.g., C:) before the file name.
