Now available from Simtel20:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD1:<MSDOS.ZMODEM>
DSZ0319.ARC BINARY 83968 A9D2H <--COM version & docs
DSZ0319X.ARC BINARY 46889 4467H <--EXE version
DSZ is a stand-alone program which saves comm port status, installs its own
comm interrupt handlers, sends or receives using ZMODEM, True YMODEM(Tm),
or XMODEM, and restores old comm port status before exiting.
Buffered RX/TX for good background performance.
"Talk" command for interactive operation and background transfers
in <70k DESQview etc. window.
Table driven CRC-32, Crash Recovery(Tm), advanced file management.
These files were downloaded directly from the author's BBS.
As I mentioned in my announcement of the previous version, I use the
EXE version because it's faster on my XT clone. Using an interface
speed of 19200 bps to my USR HST 9600 modem, I have been able to get a
throughput of 1108 cps on file transfers of already-compressed data.
The internal compression in the modem is disabled. It's a shame that
the EXE version isn't more widely distributed. The only reason one
might want to use the COM version is for network file sharing or
DesqView/DoubleDOS multitasking.
