- 21. CHANGES
-
- Be sure to save your serial number/password (SNP) card and the putsnp
- program you received from Omen Technology to use with future versions of
- DSZ you may download! (Use GCOLORS to serialize GSZ.)
-
- Current GSZ and DSZ versions are maintained on EXEC-PC BBS, BIX, GEnie
- (IBM Roundtable), CompuServe (IBMCOM and CONSULT SIGs) as well as Omen's
- TeleGodzilla (503-621-3746).
-
- DSZ is a popular program which has been the object of virus attacks.
- Pirated/hacked versions of DSZ have cost users and DSZ's developer
- thousands of dollars in lost time and other expenses, in addition to
- injuring of Omen Technology's reputation.
-
- Virus and Trojan code hidden in hacked/pirated copies of DSZ and
- programs claiming to "register DSZ" have caused loss of data.
-
-
-
- PKZIP -vt 32 bit CRC: 8F0086D4 53982 dsz.com
- PKZIP -vt 32 bit CRC: 0A1D5AF5 61399 dsz.exe
- PKZIP -vt 32 bit CRC: 0E12A26F 72352 gsz.exe
- PKZIP -vt 32 bit CRC: 5AE73B7E 33040 gcolors.exe
-
-
-
- Your copy of DSZ should show the same CRC values. ZIP uses a 32 bit CRC
- compatible with the Professional-YAM and ZCOMM "crc" command.
- pkzip -vt dsz
- The following Pro-YAM/ZCOMM command gives the 32 bit CRC for DSZ.COM:
-
- EXAMPLE: >>>c: crc dsz.com
-
-
- If your copy shows a different CRC or file length, insist on a
- legitimate copy and report the source of the bogus/pirated copy to Omen
- Technology Inc. Omen Technology has received reports of serious
- problems caused by unauthorized patches to DSZ, and cannot assume
- liability for the performance of the resultant code.
-
-
- COM7 and COM8 are changed; see the "port" command above.
-
- A problem in the 1/17/89 and 2/2/89 DSZ versions corrupts files under
- unusual circumstances. Please delete all instances of the 1/17/89 and
- 2-02-89 version.
-
- There never was a "zmodem d" parameter in DSZ. Older versions of DSZ
- ignored attempts to set this nonexistent parameter with a message that
- humans ignored. DSZ now aborts when asked to set a nonexistent
-
-

-
- parameter. There is a "d" parameter that controls time/date stamping of
- files; Bulletin boards that need to disable time/date stamping of
- received files should simply use "pd0" not preceded by a "z".
-
- Good news for tired frog stompers! The ZMODEM rz/sz programs are
- available in native VMS flavors with wild cards, record format support,
- etc.. Pre compiled VAX/VMS files are contained in the RZSZ.TLB
- compressed text library, available in the TeleGodzilla (503-621-3746)
- upgrade/vms subdirectory, Compuserve VAXFORUM, GEnie, and other bulletin
- boards. FTP access at ftp.cs.pdx.edu pub/zmodem/rzsz.tlb and Simtel20
- mirrors. (Get RZSZAXP.TLB for Alpha VMS systems.)
-
- The DSZ and GSZ "t" command uses the DOS console driver for terminal
- emulation. Standard ANSI.SYS is limited to a small subset of ANSI
- escape sequences; NANSI.SYS, FANSI-Console and other replacement console
- drivers provide faster screen updates and better ANSI terminal
- emulation.
-
- DESQview users: make sure "Separate Shift State" is set to "N". (Tnx to
- Tim Trott for this info.)
-
- Jun 7 1995: Added support for the Texas Insturments TL16C550C ACE with
- AUTO-FLOW control. This chip is identified as type 4. GSZ displays
- were optimized.
- -h no longer spazzes.
-
- Sep 18 1994: Supports the Startech ST16C650 ACE with 32 byte FIFOs and
- on chip hardware flow control support. This chip is identified as type
- 3.
-
- July 17 1994: GSZ and DSZ now accept extended receiver defined character
- escaping requests which can specify the all ones character FF to be
- escaped.
-
- April 26 1994: The ZMODEM k, K and J numeric parameters have been added
- to help on machines with old style UARTS encountering LSR 02 serial inut
- errors.
-
- Feb 25 1994: The Windows multitasking added in the Jan 27 version has
- been modified; it was overly generous. The subchapter on Windows
- operation has been changed.
-
- Feb 02 1994: Fixed anomalies with YMODEM-g and time display. Hardware
- support was revised to accommodate a Hayes ESP board incompatibility
- with the 16550 spec.
-
- Jan 27 1994: Added the "G" command to send an XON character to the
- modem. This is useful when calling dsz from MSKermit as MSKermit sends
- an XOFF character to the modem. Multitasking on OS/2 and Windows has
- been improved. Handshake slow is more aggressive in flushing disk
- buffers.
