Hi, 

I'm not subscribed to the list, but I'd like to forward a
'quick-and-dirty' patch to minicom 2.1 (derived from the RedHat src rpm)
to enable the uploading of text files without the use of the ascii-xfer
application.

The problem with ascii-xfer is that it swallows any status messages
returned by the target via the serial line, rendering it unusable for
interfacing minicom to Embedded Processor boards etc. that uses raw
ascii transfer modes for sending executable programs (typically S-Record
or Intel Hex format) files to the board (with progress indicators, etc.).

This patch basically opens the file and sends the ascii text to the
serial line directly, and is mapped to Ctrl-A-Y. It uses the file
selection dialog code used by the other uploading/downloading protocols.

Feel free to merge/modify it for the main source if it's suitable.
 
T.C.
