Re: Uploading a SAVF from a PC without FTP?

Make sure your *PF is 528 bytes.  You can then use the SNDNETF file 
trick below, sending it to your self and restoring it in a *SAVF 
instead of *PF.  Or if you don't have snads running, then you can write 
a simple RPG (or lang of you choice) program that can read a record 
from an INPUT file that is 528 bytes and write it to an OUTPUT file 
that is (you guessed it) 528 btyes.  Override the INPUT to the *PF file 
and the OUTPUT to the *SAVF.

E-mail me if you need a sample, I'll dig one up.
