Although I don't see why one would want to use [XYZ]modem transfers
when both ends have a proper Kermit, it possible to have rzsz.exe
perform your file transfers for you. Its been a long while since
I did such a thing, but I used to connect to a host that only supported
Zmodem transfers with an older version of MS-Kermit, so it is possible,
although I don't recall using anything so nice and packaged as the
"rz" macro of C-Kermit (what I did was more like: start remote
Zmodem transfer, suspend MS-Kermit, fire-up rzsz, resume MS-Kermit).
I don't run MS-DOS any more, so it would be painful for me to try and
figure out a good way to do this with MS-Kermit 3.14.
