The following information should be helpful in using the new Zmodem transfer protocol for uploads and downloads. To use ZModem, it is necessary to have the external transfer file called DSZ.COM which can be found on this BBS as DSZ0329.ARC and is complete with sample .BAT files and Docs. For uploads and downloads, you may indicate ZModem by following the filename with a space and a "z", for example: filename.arc z This will instruct the BBS to send the file in ZModem protocol. Since this is an external protocol, the modem program can be configured as follows. QMODEM Using QINSTALL, select the "External Protocols" section, and indicate the following: for downloads ...... RZ.BAT for uploads ........ SZ.BAT select "N" for file name prompt, and ZModem will furnish without having to type in the filename. Within QModem, the PgDn or PgUp keys for file transfer will show ZModem as an Other Protocol...select "Z". TELIX (and PROCOMM ??) When ready to download, use ALT-J to jump to DOS. Press "rz" and the batch file will run the transfer. For uploads, "sz" will handle the transfer. CREATING FILES RZ.BAT and SZ.BAT Create RZ.BAT as follows: ECHO OFF CD\ [download directory] DSZ RZ %3 EXIT This will change to directories to where you put your downloads, run DSZ for the transfer, and exit DOS back to terminal program when completed. Create SZ.BAT as follows: ECHO OFF CD\ [directory where upload file is located] DSZ SZ %3 EXIT This will upload the file selected. Syntax is SZ FILENAME.EXT for the upload. BATCH UPLOADS AND DOWNLOADS ZModem will support batch uploads and downloads. To indicate a ZModem batch transfer, place the "z" after the first filename in the list, for example: fileone.arc z filetwo.arc filethre.arc PLEASE READ THE DSZ.DOC FILE FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF INSTRUCTIONS.
