If you opt for the tape version you'll find the first thing you are told to do is to use Transmit to put itself onto disc Two modes are available: automatic and not-automatic. Unless you are sure that the game you want to transfer has no code that needs relocating (eg. a long basic game) 1 suggest you always opt for the non-auto mode This relocates where it should, and offers you the option of renaming the program as it goes onto disc A very useful feature is that you can go into basic, change a few colours or catalog a tape. and then back into Transmat by typing TMAT. Also available is the option to rename and erase disc files, and to go into CPM. You can also produce an intelligent disc catalog, displaying information on the lengths, types, and addresses of programs Transmat doesn't produce messy lines all over the screen like Idle Meddler, but then it doesn't need to because it transfers the game onto disc in pieces. What this means to you or me is that it is very user-friendly and still works on very long programs. A help sheet for specific program copying is not available yer, but 1 am told one is in the pipeline. Transmat is a really good program with a professional sheen to the whole thing. It does seem to be slightly overpriced, but it only falls down in that it doesn't read tape headers for you.
