- I logged into TeleGodzilla just to see what was there. For those of you who
- want source code, here's the official pointer to the "official source code":
-
- "ZMODEM protocol information and royalty free C source code for
- developers is available in Omen's "ZMODEM Developer's
- Collection" which may be ordered by voice at 503-621-3406."
-
- The following is the help file from TeleGodzilla:

- RZSZ.TLB is, I believe, also available from most of the VMS software archives
- (cerritos.edu carries it). I checked to see if there were other copies of
- ZMODEM around.
-
- UUNET has [at least] the following, most of which SHOULD be in source form:

- For those interested in more abstract information, the protocol documentation
- is in:

- That's all I could find with a quick look.
