Run Zmodem Protocol from ProComm
=======================================================================
This Doc file describes a method of running Zmodem from ProComm. It requires
the program DSZ (latest version is currently DSZ0525). Three files are
included:
PCOMZMD1.DOC - This file
ZR.BAT - Receive a file
ZS.BAT - Send a file
The batch files must be modified for your U/D Load directories. They
are set up as D:\TEL\LD currently (my U/D load directory).
After the files are modified, they may be run by doing an Alt-F4 (jump to
DOS) from within ProComm. For a download, enter zr at the command prompt.
A filename is not necessary but will not hurt anything if entered. The batch
file switches to the download directory you set up in the batch file and
the program name is supplied by the board.
After the download is completed, the batch file supplies the exit command
to exit back to ProComm. This applies to a send (Upload) as well.
To send a file, get everything set up for the transfer on the board and
then type Alt-F4 to jump to DOS. Then type: zs filename. The filename
is necessary here. The drive and path does not have to be specified if
it was left in the batch file. It may be less confusing to enter the file-
name for both a send and a receive operation.
The speed is defaulted to the current speed. For those desiring to use COM2,
this can be set in the environment. Before running ProComm, at the DOS
prompt, type: SET DSZPORT=2. You may want to put this in the autoexec.bat
file so that it is not forgotten.
That's all there is to it. Have fun!
