Recently I obtain a copy of rz/sz zmodem external protocol. I would like to set it up with my Uniterm 2.0e. Would someone please telI me how to set up my keyboard macro or a macro file? I need for it to access a particular drive, not the drive where the rz/sz resides. Also how much system buffer do I need to put in?? Thanks for all the help!!! thanks in advance!! Wayne

F1: %cop(1,$PATH)%pa('n:\\bin')%ru('gulam.prg','')%pa($1) F2: %inp('Zmodem Rec:')%ru('c:\\comm\\zmdm\\rz.ttp',$temp) F3: %inp('Zmodem Put:')%ru('c:\\comm\\zmdm\\sz.ttp',$temp) There are probably other good ways to do this, but this works for me. The F1 definition saves the current path into variable 1, sets the path to my bin directory so gulam will find it's gulam.g file, runs it, then restores the old path. The Zmodem Receive and Put definitions prompt for a filespec, which is left in the temp variable, and uses that as an argument to rz or sz. Put as much system buffer as you can spare, since rz and sz will both use all of available memory as file buffer. The smarter statement, I suppose, is put as much as you will need - 128K plus the size of the largest file you expect to transfer would be a good guess. On my Mega-4, I use 2 Meg, so Gulam isn't crippled when I spawn it off. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan
