[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] VMS Xmodem Ymodem or Zmodem

pdcst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Patrick Champion) (10/10/89)

	Is there a program for Vax Ultrix or Vax VMS that will do at least one
of the following: Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem?

	I have recently started to have problems with the Vax kermit update
that we got.  My Pc will hang in the middle of a kermit file transfer.
Zmodem would be nice, but I have had problems with dsz for the PC.  Maybe I am
missing something.  It sounded like dsz could go tsr but I guess not.  Do I
have to push dos and run it as a process on top of that?

	Thanks again.

The DSZ registration diskette includes the C sources for Unix and VMS
flavors of rz and sz, program to support ZMODEM file transfers with
DSZ.

I have two programs I wrote back in '85 called XTRN (Xmodem Transmit) and
XRCV (Xmodem Receive) for VMS.  They are written in VAX C (quiet in the
peanut gallery!) and are rather on the minimalist side, but then, Xmodem is
a rather minimalist protocol.  XTRN will do text mode translation (EOL -> 
CR/LF, CR/LF ->EOL), if desired, and XRCV can be told to create any of several 
file types: text (variable record length, CRLF), stream-LF, 512 byte fixed 
record length, and Intel binary (variable record length, 510 byte max record 
length - this is the format used by Intel's IAPX86 cross-support tools for 
VAX/VMS).  I would post them, but where?

regards, Larry

DSz registration is $20 cheap with check, $25 for credit card. Add $5
for 3.5 inch diskette (with extra files) instead of 5.25 inch.
