Table 5.3: PACTOR mailbox commands
Of course it is possible to enter mailbox commands on the console. With the DIR and
LIst command you can check the mailbox contents. Write saves the mail, with Read
you can read the mail and with DELete you can delete the mail.
5.7.1 Multiple file operations
All commands that contain a file number in the argument (e.g. DELete or Read) allow
batch access. File numbering is indicated in the format start-end.
DEL test 1- entire directory named 'test' is erased
R 2-4 read file numbers 2 to 4 of the present directory
Dir 4- lists the files in the present directory from no. 4 till the last file
5.7.2 Special features when reading files
When a remote station is reading out a file in PACTOR the PTC checks if the file has
been written in AMTOR. Next of all it is checked if it only contains capital letters. If yes,
then the PTC converts the file contents into lowercase letters, which can lead to almost
doubling of the transmission speed in PACTOR, due to more effective Huffman coding.
