- What SZmodem will do :
-
- SZmodem will transfer with either DSZ Zmodem or SZMODEM !
-
- While SZModem is transferring a file, you may do the following:
- (From the SZmodem documentation.)
-
- Connected to a "normal" zmodem such as DSZ.
-
- - List files marked for upload
- - List files received as they are received
- - Uses SDOS (simulated dos) to view directories, copy files,
- etc while the transfer is taking place.
- - View file contents as the file is being received (good for
- text files)
- - Play single-player games such as SZTETRIS while transferring.
- - Built in mail reader allows sysops who are using a BBS program
- that uses FIDO message formats to read mail while transferring.
-
- Connected to another copy of SZModem.
-
- - All of the above capabilities
- - A "chat" mode allows the two sides to talk to each other.
- - Play multiplayer games such as Four-In-A-Row
- - The sender will automatically send a "advance transfer list"
- listing the files to be sent. This way, the receiver knows
- what he is receiving.
- - SZTurbo option allows SZModem to pass flow control characters
- unaltered across the modem. This allows for up to a four percent
- efficientcy gain over normal Zmodem.
- - Ability to use large zmodem packet lengths - up to 2048 bytes
- at 2400 baud and 4096 bytes for higher speeds.

-
- Copy all KIT BAT files into the CILINK directory.
-
- Copy SZMODEM.EXE and SZCONFIG.EXE into the CILINK directory.
-
- Copy the files you desire from the SZSUP200.ZIP into the
- CILINK directory. Mainly these are *.TRV and *.EXE.
- (None of the SZSUP200.ZIP files are required for SZmodem tranfers.)
-
- The BAT files included will operate while running CIL in
- DOS, DesqView, or Windows....
-
- SZBOTH.BAT - use to allow UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD from one bat file.
- Both single file and batch modes are supported !
- You must rename this to one or more of the following :
-
- EXTUPX.BAT - where x = 1, 2, 3, or 4
-
- EXTDOWNx.BAT - where x = 1, 2, 3, or 4
-
- If you only add it as one of the above you can still upload
- and download from that one EXTERNALx call ! The bat file
- asks whether you want to UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD. If you
- chose DOWNLOAD it will automatically start. If you chose
- UPLOAD, you will be prompted for filespec(s).
-
- (This saves the other 7 possibilties for more External Protocols.)
-
- If renamed to EXTUP3.BAT, then you can send or receive files
- by pressing PGUP and selecting EXTERNAL3........
-
- The SZBOTH.BAT has on-screen help.
-
- Edit the bat file to reflect your Com Port, Port Speed,
- and default path. While editing there are examples
- of the possible options, so this is EZ ! You must save
- in ASCII text mode.
-
- (The SZ command parameters are at the end of the BAT file.)
-
- A LOG file may be kept, see top of BAT file while editing.

-
- SZDOWN.BAT - use to Download in Script Mode.
-
- ZSUP.BAT - use to Upload in Script Mode.
-
- You must edit both bats to use ! Set Com Port , Speed, and
- Default Paths.
-
- These do NOT need to be renamed to use................
- Doesn't tie up any of the EXTERNALx.BAT available in CIL !
-
- (Actually I use them as SZDN.BAT and SZUP.BAT.)

- Other KITs for Cedar Island Link :
-
- CILHSKIT.ZIP - add HS/LINK to Cedar Island Link. HS/LINK is a
- Bi-Directional High Speed transfer protocol with

-
- CILZMKIT.ZIP - add DSZ Moby Turbo and other ZModem features to

- CILTMKIT.ZIP - add Tmodem to Cedar Island Link. Tmodem -
- International TeleCommunications. Tmodem has the
- Speed of Ymodem-G with ERROR CORRECTION ! Meaning

-
- I plan to write many more KITs for CIL including one KIT that will
- allow over 40 Protocols to be run from one BAT FILE !
-
- If an update to any KIT needs to be issued, the format will be :
-
- CILTMKT2.ZIP to supercede CILTMKIT.ZIP
