Hi. A couple of months ago, someone here posted a message saying that he has access to zmodem and xmodem programs on the VAX. Would that person kindly reply to me via email, please. I am fed up with transmission by Kermit and would like a faster transfer, preferrably by zmodem. Thanks. Clarence T. Chang fsctc@csduts1.lerc.nasa.gov

Chang > fsctc@csduts1.lerc.nasa.gov WOW! You're not the only one who's looking for such a program for VAX... Whoever has these programs could kindly mail me too, or simply post a message to the net and perhaps u/l these programs to atari.archive (even though they're not for atari computers)... Anyway, my mail address: CE_JASZCZ@kcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu or archbold@bluemoon.uucp Replies, flames, whatever to: osu-cis!n8emr!bluemoon!archbold archbold@bluemoon.uucp

The VAXVMS directory on SIMTEL contains the following two files: "PD1:","<MISC.VAXVMS>","RZSZ9103.README",1,574,7,910329,"" "PD1:","<MISC.VAXVMS>","RZSZ9103.TLB",1,175104,8,910328,"" These appear to be the latest versions of Chuck Forsberg's rz/sz for VMS (I presume they include rx/sx and rb/sb as well). The .TLB file seems to be some sort of VMS library file. The .README says: To extract files from rzsz.tlb, issue the following DCL commands: $ LIB/EXTRACT=EXTRACT_TLB^COM/OUTPUT=EXTRACT_TLB.COM rzsz.tlb $ @EXTRACT_TLB rzsz/exit I'm not sure if this will give you working copies of rz and sz, or source which you'll have to compile yourself. Probably the latter; detailed instructions are likely included. Anyway, fetch the file from the archives and give it a try. (The ftp address for the SIMTEL archives is wsmr-simtel20.army.mil; login as "anonymous" and give your full account name as password. If you're not familiar with the archive, it's probably a good idea to read some of the help files in the top directory. I think there's a help file specifically pertaining to ftp'ing from a VMS machine; read it carefully before proceeding, or you'll almost certainly end up fetching the file in a format you can't use. To get to the vms directory you need to type `cd pd1:<misc.vaxvms>'.)
