Does anyone know of any terminal programs out that support zmodem?
Thanks in Advance,

Well, I found what most likely is as good as I'll get. I found the source
code for SZ and RZ on Unix. However, it's completely Unix, and it'll take
a while to put it on the Amiga. As soon as I get the conversion finished,
I'll post it to Usenet.
Now here's the problem. All the Usenet-ites *still* haven't figured out
a way to implement external protocols. *I* still think *my* idea is best
of course :) - whatever my idea is. :) Now PLEEZ decide! For now I'm
putting the stuff into a junky little terminal program (A-Term, the junk
version :), and I really don't like seeing such a nice protocol going into
such a junky program. I'd like to get it into VT100 and Handshake, but
all I want to do is work on Zmodem, not a bunch of interface routines.
So...this thing is comming right along, so you'd better decide quick!
BTW, this is Bryan Ford calling from my friend's account.

I've pretty much decided what I'm gonna do with VT100. The user will be able to specify, in the vt100.init file, something like: EXT FOO FOO @LOCAL @REMOTE FLAGS-AND-PARAMETERS @LOCAL will be replaced with the local filename, @REMOTE will be replaced by the remote filename (all gotten via requester if they are present in the command...if not present, no requester will be brought up). VT100 will quiesce its use of the serial port (by, at the user's option, closing it or opening it SHARED in the first place and simply killing its read request) the invoking FOO. The first FOO is what's shown in the menu, the remainder of the line is the command, with substitutions as stated above. Note that @LOCAL and @REMOTE can be anywhere in the command and may appear multiple times.

What do you think the discussion about IPC is for? Once an IPC standard exists, it won't be difficult to write a file transfer program for whatever wacko protocol is invented tomorrow. And once it's done, every communications program that speaks the IPC standard will be able to use it. That's much more powerful than having just one program able to use protocol modules. --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "talking about music is like dancing about architecture" -- laurie anderson

Hello, Could some kind person please send me the protocol DESCRIPTION for ZModem ? I have been trying to get it for some while now, with no success. I have the executables for the Amiga, but I need the protocol description for a project. An FTP site from which it can be obtained will also be welcomed. Thanks, Peter Vlietstra cmp8163@sys.uea.ac.uk University of East Anglia Norwich England -------- P.S. Please reply to me directly, since our system here doesn't receive comp.sys.amiga articles.
