If you are familiar with XYZ version 1, downloading works exactly the same
with version 2. The only differences are that XYZ now estimates the
file transfer time with YMODEM and ZMODEM (if possible), and it handles
filenames not compatible with the ST better.
The estimation assumes that that file will be sent with 100% utilization
of the phone line. In reality, due to slow response times, errors, etc.,
the actual transfer time will be longer. If you are using a high speed
modem that uses flow control, the transfer times won't be correct unless
you use the -b option.
Version 2 also has a "second chance save" feature for when you get a disk
error saving a file.
See XYZ.TXT for information on all of the new features.
Command line examples:
No options means do a ZMODEM download to the
current default folder
c:\download Do a ZMODEM download to the DOWNLOAD folder on
drive C
-y Do a YMODEM download to the default folder
-y c:\download Do a YMODEM download to the DOWNLOAD folder on
drive C
-x file1.arc Do a XMODEM download of FILE1.ARC to the default
folder (a filename must always be used with XMODEM)
To upload, put -u on the command line, along with the filename or filenames
(up to ten) to be uploaded. They may contain wildcards, and all files that
match a wildcard pattern will be sent.
Examples:
-u e:\uploads\*.* Do a ZMODEM upload of all files in the UPLOADS folder
-u afile.txt Do a ZMODEM upload of AFILE.TXT that's in the default
folder
-u *.* Do a ZMODEM upload of all files in the default folder
NOTE: If this is the folder XYZ.TTP is in, it will
send itself, so watch out.
xyz -y -u e:\uploads\*.ARC Send all ARC files in the UPLOADS folder
using YMODEM
XMODEM can only send one file. If you use wildcards, only the first file
that matches will be sent.
xyz -x -u afile.txt Send AFILE.TXT from the default folderusing
XMODEM
xyz -x1k -u a:\bfile.txt Send BFILE.TXT from the root directory on drive
A using XMODEM with 1k blocks
If you have any problems, run XYZ with the -vlog.txt command, and send me
the LOG.TXT file, along with any comments you may have.
I can be reached as A.HAMILTON1 or STARFALL on GEnie.
