XYZ v2.01 Quick Reference
You should have the following files:
XYZ.TTP The program itself

Here it is at last -- XYZ with uploading!
XYZ v2.01 is shareware. If you use it, please contribute. I suggest $10.
Send contributions, along with any other comments, to:

If you have already contributed for an earlier version of XYZ, you don't
need to register again.
I can also be reached on the GEnie network at STARFALL.
XYZ version 2.01 is an enhanced version of v2.0. New features:
o More detailed status display
o Files to be sent can be specified in a text file
o Files transferred successfully can be listed in a text file
o Modem carrier detect can be monitored
o Status messages can be suppressed
o Extended ZMODEM options can be sent to systems that use the UNIX
RZ and SZ programs
The new status display shows the bytes left to transfer, the percent
transferred, the characters per second (cps) for both the current
block, and the average for the whole file, plus the estimated time left
for the transfer. Since the estimated transfer time is now figured on
the fly, XYZ does not have to know the modem port baud rate, so the
-b command has been deleted.
New commands:
Remember, any option that takes a parameter must have the parameter right
after the option. Do not put a space between them.
RIGHT: -iFILELIST.TXT
WRONG: -i FILELIST.TXT
-i<filename> This option lets you specify files to upload in a text file,
rather than on the command line. The files listed in the
file will be uploaded in addition to any files on the
command line. There is a limit of 100 filenames, but
they can contain wildcards. Any wildcarded name will match
and send any number of files. The filenames should be
separated by any combination of tabs, spaces, cursor returns,
or linefeeds.
-o<filename> This option makes XYZ create a text file containing the names
of all the files transferred successfully. Any files that
were not transferred will not be listed. The filenames are
separated by a cursor return/linefeed pair. If XYZ was
not using the default folder, the filenames will have
the path in front of them.
-q[q] Quiet. This option keeps XYZ from printing the status
messages that it normally prints. Error messages will still
be printed. To suppress all messages, use the -qq option.
-c Carrier detect. This monitors the carrier detect line
on the modem port (pin 8). If the carrier is lost (the
other system hangs up, etc.) XYZ will abort. For this
to work, the modem must generate the carrier detect signal,
and the modem cable must connect pin 8 to the ST.
-1[filename] One file -- no batch transfers. For YMODEM and ZMODEM
downloads, this makes XYZ only accept the first file sent.
Any other files sent are rejected. If a filename is
specified, the one file is saved under that name, not
under the one the other system gave. Do not include any
path information in this command -- just give the
FILENAME.EXT. Use the regular folder specification on
the command line to direct it into a folder other than
the default one. Note that -1 is a number one, not
the letter el. -l will not work.
-z[options] This allows you to specified UNIX-style ZMODEM options to
the remote system while uploading. The options letters
are the same as the SZ commands. To conform with the UNIX
style of parameters, the option letters must be in
the proper case, upper or lower. For example, -zy tells
RZ to overwrite any file that exists with the same name as
the one being sent. XYZ does *not* use these commands;
only use them when sending files to a system that uses the
UNIX conventions.
See XYZ.DOC for full 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.
-u -iFILELIST.TXT Do a ZMODEM upload of all the files listed in the
text file FILELIST.TXT
-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.
-x -u afile.txt Send AFILE.TXT from the default folder using
XMODEM
-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
STARFALL on GEnie.
