- May 1989: Corrections for undefined variable and multiply
- defined rdchk() on some systems.
-
- New for April 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 for commercial use.
-
- Previous versions of rz and sz (April 1988) remain Public Domain.
-
- New for April 1988: VMS C flavors of rz and sz especially for
- tired frog stompers. The following performance log entries
- give the story!
-
- 2400 Z splat.arc 3968 220 18 0 0 0 512 30 (rz) 0 ccvax off

- The contents of RZSZ.ARC can be uploaded to a VAX/XMS system
- by ZCOMM or Professional-YAM using the supplied vupl.t script.
- Connect to your VMS system, select an empty directory, and
- then give the YAM/ZCOMM command: "source vupl.t". This will
- attempt to start a Kermit server ans upload the files to it.
- If the script can't fire up a Kermit server, the script will
- use the VMS DCL "create" command to upload the files directly.
- In the latter case, use a clean line for best results.
- Compile/Link directions for VMS C are in the comments at the
- beginning of the rz.c and sz.c files.
-
- The contents of RZSZ.ARC can be uploaded to a 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 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".
-
- Naturally, rz and sz work best with comm programs that seamlessly
- support ZMODEM command and file AutoDownload (Pro-YAM and ZCOMM).
-
- The "DSZ" shareware program allows ZMODEM file transfers with
- traditional DOS comm programs, but it must be called manually.
- (The computer should do that for you!) DSZ provides a "mini
- term function" that supports ZMODEM AutoDownload. DSZ (part
- of DSZ.ARC) and the ZMODEM protocol description (YZMODEM.ARC)
- are on TeleGodzilla and other fine bulletin boards.
