The protection bits on the file I download get all scewed up after the last zmodem packet. Up until the ZFIN is sent the protection bits are fine (----rwed) but when the file is done transfering they get toasted to strings like (h-parwed, h--arwed, and other combos) Is this a bug with jrcomm or is it my shell? ---- Quote #5 Phil Dietz "Phil is the man with a plan" 231b3678@fergvax.unl.edu -- Confucious University of Nebraska

Maybe what he is using to examine the file (DiskMaster, DOS, whatever) is causing the problem. -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.
