*******************************************************************************
GTZ 1.0 GT Power Zmodem Module.
Copyright 1990 by P&M Software Co.
All Rights Reserved.
*******************************************************************************
This release includes a new command line option:
/N .... Which causes the name of the caller to be displayed
on the screen during transfers. If used in terminal
mode, the program will show the name of the last caller,
if there was one. If there was no previous caller, then
no name is displayed. The /N should be placed just after
the 'action' field, prior to the first filename entry.
Here is my ZMTX.BAT file:
gtz %1 %2 sz /N @c:\gt\gt_xmit.lst
Also in this release, on the "Zmodem Transmit" status screen, a list of
files to be sent will be displayed (so you can see how much the caller has
asked to download). And the program will now display an estimate of the
time needed to complete the current file transfer. I am considering a
method of calculating an estimated time for the entire batch... that will
come later.
GTZ seems to be somewhat sensitive to timing situations in the transition
between files in a multi-file transfer. I am looking into this situation.
At the present time the module supports only the Zmodem protocol. It
is anticipated that Kermit will be added in the near future. And Quick-B
is lurking in my stacks someplace.
The interface is quite simple at this time:
GTZ com_port baud_rate action [name1 ...]
Where:
com_port = 1 or 2. It is anticipated that this will
be expanded to support the same com_port
configuration as GT Power.
baud_rate = 300,1200,2400,4800,9600,19200,38400,115000
action = SZ or RZ
SZ .... Transmit Zmodem
RZ .... Receive Zmodem
[name1 ...] If the SZ action is specified, the user must
supply a list of filenames to be transmitted.
Any of the names may be of the format:
@name
The leading '@' will indicate to GTZ that a
list file is to be processed. The list file
will contain the names of the files to be
transmitted, in plain ASCII text, 1 file per
line.
GTZ will perform both XON/XOFF and CTS/DSR flow control. RTS flow control
is not currently available.
If the file transfer is aborted, GTZ will exit with an ERRORLEVEL of 1.
Otherwise an ERRORLEVEL of 0 is returned.
If you have suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
