NAME

dsz - YMODEM, ZMODEM file transfer subprogram  

SYNOPSIS

dsz [port N] [speed S] [d] [restrict] command  

DESCRIPTION

Dsz uses the YMODEM or ZMODEM error correcting batch protocol to transfer files over a serial port with a variety of programs. Dsz is designed to be called from a communications program or bulletin board to perform file transfers. Dsz uses its own modem I/O. The original interrupt vector and UART interrupt configuration are restored on normal exit. Dsz expects its standard output to point to the console or a logging file, not a modem port.

The available commands are:

port N
select port N (n = 1,2,3 or 4) Default is port 1 (COM1) or read from the DSZPORT dos environment variable.
speed S
Set specified speed, default is current speed.
d
Disables carrier dropout monitoring, for modems that do not properly drive the "Data Carrier Detect" input on the PC.
LARG
Convert ARG to lowercase, then parse arg.
restrict
Restrict pathnames to current disk and directory tree.

Consult the Professional-YAM manual or ZCOMMDOC.ARC chapter "Options for File Transfers" for option meanings.  

NOTES

Dsz sets the UART shift register to 8 bits no parity; the original parity setting is lost. Dsz may be freely used and copied, but not modified or sold without the written permission of Omen Technology Inc.
