- .TH MINIRB 1 OMEN
- .SH NAME
- minirb \- Bootstrap YMODEM Batch file receive
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B minirb
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Minirb
- receives one or more files with YMODEM batch file transfer protocol.
- .I Minirb
- was developed for use as a bootstrap to simplify uploading of the longer
- .I rz
- and
- .I sz
- programs, such as are contained in the
- .I rzsz.zoo
- "zoo" archive or the
- .I rzsz1et2.sh
- shell archive.
- .SH SEE ALSO
- YMODEM.DOC,
- Professional-YAM manual,
- sz(omen)
- .SH NOTES
- The source file
- .I minirb.c
- has been ruthlessly pruned to simplify uploading without benefit of
- any file transfer protocol.
- Do not reformat or add tabs to the source file
- as this would complicate uploading.
-
- Please read the uploading suggestions in the chapter
- .I "File Transfer Basics"
- in the Professional-YAM or ZCOMM user's manual.
-
- .I Minirb
- uses 8 bit checksum which may not be compatible with some programs
- claiming to support YMODEM batch transfers.
-
- .I Minirb
- uses the
- YMODEM header
- file length information
- to avoid storing extraneous characters.
- .I Minirb
- deletes carriage returns and CPMEOF (^Z) characters
- encountered in uploaded files.
-
- .I Minirb
- calls stty(1) to set and reset raw tty mode.
