Is it possible to upload binary files to Stefan Tramm's CP/M emulator[1]? How?
I'd like to transfer .COM files to execute them inside the emulator. Although I found a way of uploading files, it apparently doesn't work for binary ones.
Here's what I do. After booting CP/M from the emulator, I drag&drop a .COM file from my desktop computer to the emulator's browser tab, which mounts the file as a paper tape. Next, I execute the command pip filename.com=rdr: But when I run the executable,
CP/M drops out to the monitor and I get the message HALT without the program executing or producing output.
I tried different .COM files but I get the same HALT message, which suggests the transfer process may not work for binary files. An article about the emulator[2] seems to imply so as, concerning the same process, it notes "Please keep in mind that CP/M
is not 8-bit clean".
Any suggestions for transferring binary files to the amulator?
