Hmmm.... I was the one citing sz version 3.11 of 02-26-91. I don't think Chuck Forsberg would have gone from version 1.36i to 3.11 in a one month period. I think it might be due to the fact that our system here is actually Xenix and yours is Unix. Still does not rule out the possibility that your sz is very buggy. >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org >____________________________________________________________________________ -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.

So I dunno. I'd just get v3.11 and try it. It certinally can't hurt. -- "To Study is to survive..." -Me (Now if I could only grasp that..)

OK, I solved my problem, or rather, someone else suggested something that worked. I recieved a *lot* of responses on things to try to get my batch downloads working all to no avail, until..... Somebody (and whoever it was can step forward and take the credit, I promptly lost their address) suggested simply (and I do mean literally simply) typing the following: sz -l 1024 -L 1024 * and it works!! I'm not sure why, since the packet length was already at 1024 by default, but who cares! I assume it must have something to do with the very last packet sent of one file, and the first of the next file or something. Thanks to everybody for their help. - Tony ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org ____________________________________________________________________________
