Load the files as a memblock, send the memblock, then save the memblock as a file on the other end. That would probably work.

Enjoy your day.

I was looking for a way to turn files into memblocks, but I couldn't find any command... Is there a command?

Thanks Latch!

But I found I can't re-assemble the memblock to a file again, because there is no MAKE FILE FROM MEMBLOCK command...

It is going to be a real hassle to write everything to a file, because the file contains images, sounds, and a mixture between bytes, words and floats...

Is there an easier way?

Try to see if you can convert that image and sound data to and from string, integer or real variables. Using memblock commands, you can get the entries at every location of data in the image or sound and send it as a variable. By the way, is your waypoint plugin done yet?

There's a WRITE MEMBLOCK File Number, Memblock Number command. I the first 4 bytes stored are the size of the memblock, so you'd have to deal with that.

The other option is just to open a file and write all of the bytes from the memblock to the file:

fn=1
open to write fn,"myfile.bmp"
for n=1 to get memblock size(mem)
write byte fn,memblock byte(mem,n-1)
next n

If you use a single memblock to store multiple files at once, then use separators or headers between files or create a custom header that identifies the positions and length of each file type within the memblock. Then open the proper file and write the specific bytes to it.

If you are writing a memblock to a file, you only have to worry about writing bytes. You don't have to write dwords, floats or anything else. The bytes cover all the bases.

Enjoy your day.

Actually it was canceled... I may pick it up later, but it's far away in the future... If you'd like to take over, then be my guest!
