[comp.dcom.modems] More xyzmodem problems

marquis@qal.qal.berkeley.edu (Roger Marquis) (05/18/89)

Does Zmodem support LF to CRLF translations with the '-a' switch as
the documentation purports or not? I've compiled the Unix version from
SIMTEL20 on a sun3 (68020) and a 386i and neither program will
recognize the '-a' switch. 
I can always use Xmodem (in Ymodem text mode) but I would like to
know if other Zmodem users have this problem with 7 to 8 bit
downloads.

Both rz and sz accept the -a flag, as in "sz -a foo.c".

What is "Ymodem text mode"?  Please note that YMODEM is a batch
protocol with file names sent by the sending program.
