[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] Found Zmodem for VAX

amatthews@zodiac.rutgers.edu (04/24/91)

For all you vax/vms users -- I've found something that may make your
lives a little easier.  Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem (possibly some
compression tools (zoo I think)) are available from:

	phast.phys.washington.edu  via anonymous ftp.

Zmodem is in the ZMOD.DIR directory and is split into seperate
send and receives.  (called respectively SZ.EXE and RZ.EXE).

I've tested SZ.EXE (upload to the vax) and it works great.

I've yet to be able to actually send anything from the vax to 
me yet though -- When I RUN  RZ.EXE, it won't let me pass any
parameters to it.  I suppose I'll have to actually learn
a little about vms after all.

  Thanks! I will raid it tomorrow...

  Easy:

  rz :== $ my$full$path:rz.exe

  Then "rz par1 par2..." should work (note: no run)!
