At one time I had Chuck Forsberg's rz/sz programs running under SCO XENIX
286 without a hitch. When he posted a new version to alt.sources several
months back, I tried to upgrade. It didn't work, and every since I haven't
been able to get back to a working copy. (Flames about preserving old
versions when upgrading are not desired -- but deserved.) I have tried
the following versions of "rz":
#define VERSION "1.14 01-15-87"
#define VERSION "1.26 08-21-87"
#define VERSION "1.29 03-08-88"
I am totally confused. At one time I had this thing running without a
hitch, but now rz either fails to start up the transfer or it fails
on every packet. My top three hypothesis are:
(1) Out of the multitude of versions of rz, there is only one
which works with SCO XENIX 286.
(2) I need to compile it some other way than just "make xenix".
(3) My modem line configuration is messed up, and I need to do a
stty before invoking the transfer.
Can anybody out there help me with this quandry? Please mail, and
I will summarize if there is interest. Thanks.

Try the /*% line at the beginning of rz.c. This compiles for 286
Xenix regardless of whether the compiler is 286 or 386 Xenix.
I normally use the 386 compiled version because it is slightly
faster, but I also check the 286 compiled version from time to time,
including just now. This testing is under 386 Xenix, I don't run
the brain-segmented(;)) version any more.

What stty commands have been given? I run my serial getty ports at
either 7e or 8n.
The current released version is always available on TeleGodzilla,
but I haven't heard of this particular problem before.
