- ZYX
- File Transfer Utility
- (C)1990 The Zed Project

-
- ZYX is a simple file transfer utility I wrote, mainly for my own use, to
- aid in the use of DSZ.COM (Omen Technology Inc.). The parameters most used
- by DSZ are passed by ZYX, eliminating the need to call up another program
- and punch more keys. While there are many fine programs that do the same
- thing, I felt no real need to wade through various pop-up windows and the
- like. And since I am just learning Turbo Pascal I had fun writing this
- ute.
-
- Anyway... Entering ZYX alone displays the help screen. Entering ZYX x
- where x is any of the eleven parameters will call DSZ and pass those
- paramaters. I call ZYX from ProComm+ using the Alt A key and simply enter
- the parameter I need. Most quality communication programs allow the
- passing of parameters. If your's doesn't then you might consider writing
- a small batch file.
-
- NOTE: DSZ and ZYX must reside in the same directory/sub-directory where
- you want those down loaded files to go. The reason is simple; not ALL
- users have a registered version of DSZ (shock and dismay!) and an
- unregistered version of DSZ does not support sending files to other sub-
- dir's, along with alot of other neat features AND it is not my intention to
- work around this stipulation. My DSZ is registered and I hope you'll
- consider registering your's too.
-
- Here is a listing of all the parameters available (for now):
-
- 1 Receive Zmodem 6 Send Zmodem
- 2 Receive Ymodem 7 Send Ymodem
- 3 Receive Xmodem 8 Send Xmodem
- * 4 Receive Ymodem G 9 Crash Recovery Receive
- * 5 Receive Xmodem Overthruster 10 Crash Recovery Send
- 11 DSZ Command Line
-
- * Requires that DSZ be registered in order to function. Refer to your DSZ
- manual for further information.
-
- This program is in the public domain and I encourage that you pass it
- around. However, I retain all rights to the source code. I take no
- responsibilty, expressed or implied, for any adverse conditions that MAY
- result in the use of this program. I do request that ZYX.EXE and ZYX.DOC
- remain unaltered. Any questions, comments, suggestions, or ... will be
- acted upon accordingly.
