ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ZCOMM could not have evolved to its current level of power and refinement without help, advice, and other contributions from many kindred souls over the years. Digital Equipment Corporation developed the PDP-8, PDP-10, and PDP-11 computers with which I first learned practical data communications techniques. Ray Zapp and Bob Chesney used the first forerunners of Zcomm. Ward Christensen developed the MODEM (XMODEM) file transfer protocol and the MODEM series programs. Dennis M. Ritchie developed the C programming language. Leor Zohlman wrote BDS C, the cuspiest C compiler for CP/M, without which Yam might have been written in Pascal (if at all). Jack M. Wierda and Roderick W. Hart wrote CMODEM13.C, the prototype of Zcomm's XMODEM protocol handler. 32 bit CRC code courtesy Gary S. Brown. Richard Greenlaw wrote SQueeze and UnSQueese, Huffman compression programs and wildcard filename expansion routine. Gordon Collett, CDI VP of Engineering, supported the development and public domain distribution of 8 bit YAM. Microsoft Corporation developed MS-DOS, providing interesting debugging experiences. Pacific Northwest Bell regularly provides protocol stress testing. Bob Richardson, Carl Raff, Scott Lowe, Ken Brassler, authored documentation describing Compuserve's mysterious A and B protocols. Jeff Martin, Paul Homchick, Paul Bingman, David Sternlight, Big Red, and Barefoot John provided encouragement and suggestions. Charles McGuinness wrote COMSH, which provided some ideas for ZCOMM's script facility. Stephen Satchell wrote much of the original Cribsheet. James R. Butler provided numerous suggestions on this Manual. Numerous script examples shown here were written by Earle Robinson, author of the ejryam scripts for accessing Compuserve. The ZCOMM flash-up help file compiler and display program were originated by Seaquest Software, Pete Mackie President. The KERMIT protocol was developed by the Columbia University Center for Computing Activities. KERMIT is available for many systems for only a nominal fee from Columbia and from various user group organizations, such as DECUS and SHARE. Columbia University holds the copyright on the KERMIT protocol. Columbia University does not warrant in any way the KERMIT software nor the accuracy of any related documentation, and neither the authors of any KERMIT programs or documentation nor Columbia University acknowledge any liability resulting from program or documentation errors. ZCOMM "m" versions are compiled with the SCO System V Xenix to DOS Cross Compiler. Other C programs are compiled with Computer Innovations' C86 and Lattice C. TurboLearn Script Writer(TM), Cybernetic Data Recovery(TM), Error Containment(TM), True YMODEM(TM), OverThruster(TM), Password Guardian(TM), CryptoScript(TM), and TurboDial(TM) are Omen Technology (C) 1987 Omen Tech Inc Chapter 30 Acknowledgments Revised 09-05-87 Universal Line Printer Edition ZCOMM User Manual 184 trademarks.
