TELSOFT Downloader
from Your Computer, January 1985

A reminder of how to use the Telsoft service

THE PROGRAMS given here will enable Spectrum and BBC owners to download via
Your Computer's Telsoft service. First type the hex-loader for your machine -
Figure 1 - and then enter the machine code - Figure 2. On the BBC you call
the service by entering:
		CALL &6A00
while Spectrum owners must type:
		RANDOMIZE USR 60000

So far OE Ltd's Telemod 2 and VTX 5000 modems have been tested with the
service, but it also works with a number of other makes.

To find out what is available on Telsoft and how to receive software dial up
Colchester (0206) 8068. This audio recorded information line will also advise
you which telephone numbers to ring for the 300 and 1200 bit/s services.

When a program you want to download is available, make sure your modem is set
up and dial the number appropriate to your modem's speed. As soon as you hear
the modem tones switch the modem to line and replace the receiver. Select
Option 1 from the menu  Receive. After a block of data is received, you
will see "OK" printed if there were no errors; otherwise the program will
wait for the blocks to come round again.

When the "Program loaded OK" message appears return to the Telsoft menu and
select Option 5. You can now save and run the program.
