:
If your sz program transfers files on standard input and standard output,
it can be redirected this way, or for that matter treated as an external
protocol by C-Kermit as described in Chapter 14 of the manual, in which
case you need only:
set protocol zmodem
and then use regular file-transfer commands like SEND, etc.
Whether your sz program uses stdio is an issue you'll need resolve with
the supplier of your sz program.
I might suggest that if you could Kermit protocol instead of Zmodem in
this sitation, your task would be much simplified. However, I can't speak
for Omen or its products.
