Hi Ali,
You will have trouble moving the floppy from UNIX to the PC. Foxboro uses
NutCracker which allows many of the old UNIX commands to function on the XP.
Try following the steps listed below.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Save Controls
Open a VT local
Navigate to /opt/fox/ciocfg/api
Create a directory for the SaveAll (i.e., mkdir SaveAll_dir)
Determine the station letterbug name
Verify the ICC is closed
Save the controls:
save_all CP0001 SaveAll_dir
In the above command replace CP0001 with your station letterbug name and
SaveAll_dir with the location of the desired SaveAll directory
Tar and compress the directory:
tar -cvf SaveAll.tar SaveAll_dir
compress SaveAll.tar
Copy the SaveAll.tar.Z to a floppy or network and transfer it to the XP box
in the directory d:/opt/fox/ciocfg/api
(Perhaps insert a floppy and type
tar cvf SaveAll.tar.Z /dev/fd0
Uncompress/un-tar the file:
uncompress SaveAll.tar.Z
tar -xvf SaveAll.tar
You should see the SaveAll_dir
Load the controls
Verify the ICC is closed
Open a command window
Navigate to d:/opt/fox/ciocfg/api
Type sh
Type ./load_all CP0001 SaveAll_dir

Ali,
Assuming
1) The two computers are not networked together and
2) The save-all will fit on one floppy without compression
the easiest is to do the following.
On the Unix box from a vt100 shell
NOTE- CP0001 should be replaced by your CP letterbug.
# mkdir /tmp/CP0001
# cd /opt/fox/ciocfg/api
# save_all CP0001 /tmp/CP0001
insert a DOS formatted floppy in the Sun diskette drive
# mount /pcfs
# cp -r /tmp/CP0001/* /pcfs
# sync
# umount /pcfs
Take the floppy to the XP box and do a regular load all from the floppy.
Good luck.
David
