- Current versions of DSZ.EXE are compiled on the Xenix to DOS cross
- compiler from the same source files as DSZ.COM.
-
- The .EXE version requires more memory than the .COM version.
-
- It is included for the following reasons:
-
- 1. It is slightly faster than the .COM version when used on
- 4.77 mHz PC's at 19200 bps. Noticeably faster at 115kb on
- 6/8 MHz AT machines.
-
- The .EXE version uses macro expansions instead of subroutine
- calls for CRC calculations, the compilation is speed optimized,
- and the MS library routines may be faster than their TurboC
- counterparts.
-
- 2. The .EXE version allows B parameter values up to 16384.
- If you are having problems with overruns on disk writes
- (Line Status Register 02 error) try the following if
- "handshake slow" doesn't help:
- dsz pB16384 z pl16384 t
- or
- dsz pB16384 z pl16384 rz
-
- 3. Some bulletin board interfaces are "hard wired" to
- use the .EXE version in various mysterious ways.
-
- Please refer to DSZ.DOC, part of DSZ.ARC for information on how to run
- this program.
-
- NOTE: DOS searches for .COM programs before it searches for .EXE
- programs, even if an extension is specified! This causes unexpected
- results if you have both DSZ.COM and DSZ.EXE.
