I'm trying to use Procomm Plus 1.1B (shrink wrap version) to send and receive files with rz/sz on a 386 box running ISC UNIX 2.2 (System V/386 R3). I'm having problems using YMODEM-BATCH to send a bunch of files from the DOS box to UNIX box. File transfer go ok if I send one file at a time. However, if I try to send multiple files (e.g., tell Procomm to send *.TXT files to the UNIX box), the session aborts. Does anyone know if rz supports YMODEM-BATCH in receive mode (when I use 'rb' to receive files)? I know that 'sb' sends a batch of files to the DOS box fine.

The "ymodem" in Procomm does not meet the YMODEM spec, and will not operate normally with programs written to the YMODEM spec. DSZ can be called from Procomm to provide correct YMODEM transfers (as well as ZMODEM and ZMODEM-90(Tm).

I guess this is why he doesn't use rz/sz and use rb/sb instead. -- 8) _ _ | user's name: Edward Wong |_ |\ \ / /\ |_) |\ | ARPA: edwong@bucsf.bu.edu |_ |/ \^/ /==\ | \ |/ | UUCP: bucsf.bu.edu!edwong

Procomm 2.0 does have internal Zmodem (as well as internal SuperKermit and recognitions of >25-line screens, which is why I upgraded). All of the batch protocols permit multiple file specs on download (depending upon the ability of the host). The only way v 2.0 seems to permit batch uploads, is if the batch can be specified with wild cards. (Got this from another user on the Procomm support BBS). Unless some- else knows of another way. -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu

There are some definite problems with all three ... as Chuck said in his earlier post (65@omen.UUCP) PC+ does not follow the specs all that closely. Using rz/sz from the university system to my PC+, I get frequent drop-outs (BAD CRC) after which the rz/sz is left running open, as PC+ fails to inform rz/sz that it is aborting. Same thing at the end of an eventually successful download -- PC+ sends a weird termination string that leaves rz/sz thinking there is a string mismatch and it is time to abort. Between this and the downgrade of the VT102 terminal emulation (they disabled custom colors to make the environment a true emulation) I would say this is another example of a reverse upgrade. I called DataStorm to complain, and asked if I could get a good price on a downgrade back to version 1.1B :-). I guess this is really not the right place for this discussion, so if anyone wants to continue in this vein, let's take it to c.o.m.apps. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include <disclaimer.h> Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
