Re: [Flashforth-devel] Sending Forth files with macOS over USB

Mikael, Grant, Peter,

Thank you.

I've used Minicom as my interactive comms program for years, but I was
not aware of the inter-character delay option. Thank you.

The transfer program I wrote takes the last approach.  However,
originally I was hoping that somehow, through the USB CDC driver and
configuring (in someway I was not aware of) the USB CDC serial port to
use CRTSCTS, some emulated flow control would be created and I could
avoid the byte by byte software handshaking. My USB/CDC knowledge is
too low to speculate as to whether this was wishful thinking or
otherwise.

Byte by byte gets the Forth to the PIC quickly enough and when it's
there it is a joy to use. 

Best wishes and thanks,
Tristan
