Transfer rate HP->PC

Ethernet is easily the fastest solution to transfer files among
computers. We shuttle flow data among HP, PC, Mac, NeXT and other
computers very easily.

Where cost is prohibitive, and the HP310 is the collection computer,
then the hppclink is an inexpensive alternative for transfer to a PC.

I get the same results as Eric Martz. In the documentation that I
wrote for hppclink I noted the following:

File transfer time: A 4 parameter, 10 000 event list mode file
collected using Consort 30 takes about 14 seconds to transfer. That
is, 80 blocks or 40960 bytes in 14 seconds, or about 3000 bytes per
second.

The documentation for hppclink which I wrote (it includes
installation of the software, installation of a typical GP-IB card,
and pointers for file naming) is at flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu in the
/pub/upload directory:

[NOTE: this software is now in the /pub/hp-pc directory -- Steve]

hppclink.ps is a device-independent PostScript file
hppclink.txt is the straight text file

If anyone is interested, I can put the executable files for the PC
and the HP on the Purdue computer as well.
