There is C-Kermit, and then there is C-Kermit. There are many releases of it, and is't been ported to many machines - one version may have problems that another doesn't, etc. Also, alothough the documentation is quite extensive, it isn't always made available, nor always used when available. It's not clear what actual problems were encountered. Ymodem-batch, implemented by "sb" & "rb", are companions of "sz" & "rz", and are found along with them. They usually seem to work even where their zmodem counterparts fail. Procomm is quite reliable, but it isn't always set up properly as far as parity etc. is concerned when using transfer protocols. -- (__) Bruce Becker Toronto, Ont. w \@@/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `/v/-e BitNet: BECKER@HUMBER.BITNET _/ \_ "Hearts of stone, doo-de-wahh, will never break" - The Charms
