Hi All;

To be upfront about this issue I have installed Debian Bookworm (12) on my Raspberry PI 4/8 Meg that's my daily development machine.

There have been a number of program issues that I have had to work out with this release, such as a working Screenshot program.

Sorry for the lack of screenshots, the PrtScr key works but only gives a full screen image.

So the issue is the OPTION DISK SAVE $Filename creates an option data file that is 896 bytes in size. That is fine if it is saved to the A or B drive. Along comes a new release and I want to make setup easy so I TFTP that file to the Webmite for use with OPTION DISK LOAD command.

However I get the error "Wrong file size" because the TFTP added one byte to the file on arrival to the Webmite. This happens on both drives if sent by TFTP.

As I do not have another OS to try this with I am not sure where the problem is?

Thanks for any assistance,

Hans ...

PS: This is the case with 5.08 thru the latest 5.09RC5.

While awaiting a more useful response, if your terminal program supports Xmodem that should work.
The length of .OPT files is tailored to work with Xmodem and retain the correct length.

Try GIMP - it can take a snapshot in various ways (see its menus lol).

No obvious problems using Win11 to WEbmite 5.09RC5 and the TFTP built into MMCC

I will have to see if I can borrow a windows machine from somebody to give that a try. I just find it strange that TFTP would work differently in Linux than it does on windows.

Thanks, Jim

Thanks all;

Problem solved, I set "TFTP mode binary" and it came across with the correct byte count.

The default mode is ASCII and that uses blocks, adding padding characters.

A little bit of research helps.

Again thanks for your comments!
