- GTZ 1.0 GT Power Zmodem Module.

-
- 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.
