DFTP is the user program to archive files to CCA Datacomputer
Ampex terrabit memory (TBM), and to retrieve them. See
DFTP.MRC[UP,DOC] for details, or consult an expert: MRC, REM.
Datarate is quite slow (600 to 1600 baud typically, i.e. 20
seconds to a minute per thousand words), so large files should
be data-compressed if possible before transport. Type HELP
SPINDL for info on data-compression.
DFTP.OLD is currently (1976.Nov.14) the version-1
program that archives files to CCA disk (not TBM) and will
probably go away as soon as all files have been copied from
disk to TBM.
