- Rz and sz are Unix programs designed to support dial-in XMODEM,
- YMODEM, and ZMODEM transfers via the controlling TTY port.
-
- The contents of this archive can be uploaded to a remote Unix or
- Xenix system by ZCOMM or Professional-YAM using the supplied
- zupl.t script. Connect to your Unix/Xenix system, select an
- empty directory, and then give the YAM/ZCOMM command: "source
- zupl.t". This will upload minirb.c, compile it, and then use
- minirb to bootstrap upload the rz/sz files.
-
- Once these files are on your Unix system, you can type "make".
- The Makefile will list the various systems it knows how to
- compile the programs for, and the command to do so (e.g.,
- "make bsd").
-
- The Makefile is self explanatory; just say "make".
-
- Rz and sz work best with comm programs that properly support
- ZMODEM command and file AutoDownload (Pro-YAM and ZCOMM).
-
- The "GSZ" shareware program allows ZMODEM file transfers with
- traditional DOS comm programs. GSZ provides a "mini term
- function" that supports ZMODEM AutoDownload. GSZ (part of
- GSZ.ZIP) and ZCOMM (ZCOMMEXE.ZIP, ZCOMMDOC.ZIP, ZCOMMHLP.ZIP)
- are available on TeleGodzilla and other fine bulletin boards.
-
- Rz ans Sz are Copyrighted shareware programs. Commercial Use of
- these programs is subject to licensing conditions detailed in
- the rz.c source code. "Commercial Use" includes use of this
- program to receive files from commercial and/or shareware
- programs not published by Omen Technology INC. Please print the
- "mailer.rz" file, fill out the form and return same with your
- registration.
-
- Previous versions of rz and sz (April 1988) are Public Domain.
-
- The Man pages are formatted for those without Unix nroff.
- For best results, use less(1) (available on comp.sources.misc)
- as your manual page reader.
-
- Oct 30 1991: Changed shar programs to aid net.digestion.
- Rs and sz now use the same version number.
-
- Oct 4 1991: Fixed bug in rz crash recovery.
-
- Sep 1991: Major hacking to work around SVR4 bug. Append and crash
- recovery of shrinking files corrected. Sz now supports rename.
- Sz -c changed to zcommand, rx -c file changed to rc file.
-
- Feb 1991: various corrections and simplifications. Sz now
- stores critical error messages for post mortem display.
-
- VMS systems are now supported with native VMS versions in
- RZSZ.TLB. The rz and sz in RZSZ.TLB support wild cards and
- VMS record types.
-
- May 1989: Corrections for undefined variable and multiply
- defined rdchk() on some systems.
-
- New for 1989: ZMODEM compression and other compatible
- extensions have been added to the rz and sz programs.
- Please read the comments in the rz.c and sz.c source code
- for licensing information.
-
-
- In order for us to handle problem reports, we must have the
- exact error messages displayed by Professional-YAM. If you are
- not using an Omen Technology product to talk to rz/sz, and have
- not registered rz/sz, please contact the author of the program
- you are using for support. Some heavily marketed programs do
- not fully support the ZMODEM protocol.
