NAME

minirb - Bootstrap YMODEM Batch file receive  

SYNOPSIS

minirb  

DESCRIPTION

Minirb receives one or more files with YMODEM batch file transfer protocol. Minirb was developed for use as a bootstrap to simplify uploading of the longer rz and sz programs, such as are contained in the rzsz.zoo "zoo" archive or the rzsz.sh shell archive.

YMODEM.DOC, Professional-YAM manual, sz(omen)  

NOTES

The source file minirb.c has been ruthlessly pruned (4k, 175 lines) to simplify uploading without benefit of an error correcting file transfer protocol. Do not reformat or add tabs to the source file as this would complicate uploading.

Please read the uploading suggestions in the chapter File Transfer Basics in the Professional-YAM or ZCOMM user's manual.

Minirb uses 8 bit checksum which may not be compatible with some programs claiming to support YMODEM batch transfers.

Minirb uses the YMODEM header file length information to avoid storing extraneous characters. Minirb deletes carriage returns and CPMEOF (^Z) characters encountered in uploaded files.

Minirb calls stty(1) to set and reset raw tty mode.
