- Following are the instructions that I used for setting up Zmodem. Everything
- is correct except that the latest version is now DSZ0811.

- INSTALLING AND USING ZMODEM FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL
- May 24, 1987
-
-
- This file contains complete step-by-step instructions for setting your
- system up for Zmodem, and for using Zmodem to upload or download files.
- The instructions assume you are using Procomm as your terminal communi-
- cations program; if you are using another terminal package, substitute
- for the Procomm commands the appropriate commands for your particular
- package.
-
- If you set your system up per these instructions, you will need to enter
- only "RZ" to download Zmodem or "SZ filespec" to upload Zmodem.
-
-
- FILES NEEDED
- ============
- DSZ.EXE The Zmodem driver. Check Dir1 for latest version. Version
- currently posted on SPACE contained in DSZ0512.ARC.
-
- CED.COM The CED program. Shareware version is posted on SPACE in
- Dir10 as CED10D.ARC. (Note: You may also use the commercial
- version of CED which is known as PCED.)
-
- CED.CFG Text file created by you (see below) with CED synonymns.
-
- PROCOMM.EXE The main communications program you are using. Substitute
- your's if it is not Procomm.
-
-
- SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM FOR ZMODEM
- =================================
- The setup described here assumes that you locate the above files in the
- the following directories; if you use different directories, change the
- path specs accordingly:
-
- PROCOMM.EXE is in directory C:\COMM
- DSZ.EXE is in directory C:\COMM
- CED.COM is in directory C:\DOS
- CED.CFG is in directory C:\
-
- 1. Create a CED.CFG file, or add the following statements to your
- existing file, to define CED synonymns for RZ and SZ:
-
- syn RZ c:\comm\dsz pa5000 rz -y^EXIT
- syn SZ c:\comm\dsz z pL1024 sz %1 %2^EXIT
-
- 2. Add the following statements to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- PATH c:\dos;c:\comm
- CED -B128,128,128,128,128,128 -Fc:\ced.cfg
- SET DSZPORT=2 (ONLY if your modem is on COM2)
- SET PROCOMM=c:\comm\ (ONLY if you are using Procomm)
-
- The PATH statement puts DSZ.EXE and CED.COM on your DOS path. If
- you already have a PATH statement, add the directories containing the
- two needed files to your PATH.
-
- The CED statement sets up the necessary CED buffers and tells CED
- where the CED.CFG file is located and to load it. If you already
- have a CED.CFG file, you may need to increase the buffer size to
- provide enough space for the new RZ and SZ synonymns.
-
- The SET DSZPORT statement tells DSZ to use COM2. Include this
- statement ONLY if your modem is connected to COM2. If your modem
- is on COM1, a SET DSZPORT statement is not required (or you may
- optionally set it to "1").
-
- If you are using Procomm, the SET PROCOMM statement enables Procomm
- to find its .PRM, .DIR, .XLT and .KEY files. The statement assumes
- they are on C:\COMM. If they are in some other directory, change
- the statement accordingly. Note: The final backslash ("\") in the
- SET statement is mandatory for Procomm. If you are using a program
- other than Procomm, consult your manual for environment variables
- and proper syntax.
-
-
- UPLOADING FILES WITH ZMODEM
- ============================
- To upload (send) files to the host (BBS) system using Zmodem:
-
- 1. Select Zmodem protocol on the host system
-
- 2. If prompted by the host system, enter the name of the file
- to be uploaded. Depending on how it is set up, the host system
- may use the same filename that you enter in Step 4 below for
- your system and not require that you enter the filename twice.
- (On SPACE, the upload filename is required if you use ZDOOR-A,
- but is not required when you use ZDOOR-B.)
-
- 3. When the host sytem tells you that it is ready to receive ZMODEM,
- press ALT-F4 to shell to DOS (using Procomm). If you are using
- a different communications program, consult your manual for the
- command that will allow you to shell to DOS.
-
- 4. You will get a DOS prompt when invoke the shell. At the DOS
- prompt, enter:
- > SZ filespec(s)
- where 'filespec(s)' is the file(s) you want to upload. (If the
- host supports batch mode transfers, you will be prompted accord-
- ingly and can use wildcards (* and ?) in your filespec.) If the
- file(s) is not in the current DOS directory, you will need to
- specify the path(s) as well as the filename(s).
-
- 5. When the upload is complete, you will be returned automatically
- to Procomm (or the communications program you are using) ready
- to respond to the next prompt of the host system.
-
-
- DOWNLOADING FILES WITH ZMODEM
- ==============================
- To download (receive) files from the host (BBS) system using Zmodem:
-
- 1. Select Zmodem protocol on the host system
-
- 2. When prompted by the host system, enter the name of the file(s)
- to be downloaded. (If the host supports batch mode transfers or
- wildcard filespecs, you will be prompted accordingly.)
-
- 3. When the host sytem tells you that it is ready to send ZMODEM,
- press ALT-F4 to shell to DOS (using Procomm). If you are using
- a different communications program, consult your manual for the
- command that will allow you to shell to DOS.
-
- 4. You will get a DOS prompt when invoke the shell. At the DOS
- prompt, first (if necessary) change directory to the directory
- where you want the downloaded file(s) to be written when it is
- received, and then enter:
- > RZ
- The filename(s) will be sent by the host system; you do NOT enter
- them in your system. The file(s) will be written in your current
- DOS directory as received.
-
- 5. When the download is complete, you will be returned automatically
- to Procomm (or the communications program you are using) ready
- to respond to the next prompt of the host system.
