This is an addendum to the GAP Manual:
Please Note that the QWK/REP modules will NOT work correctly if your
copy of DSZ is NOT registered. You can modify your SEND.BAT and
RECV.BAT files to change into the Node Work Directory, then change
back to the QWK/REP Directory after the transfer, to work around this
restriction in the unregistered DSZ program, but we will provide no
examples on how to do this.
The reason for the failure is that the unregistered version of
DSZ will NOT honor path names. It will place ALL incoming files
in the current directory and the QWK/REP modules NEED the uploaded
REP files to be placed into the work directory.
Also with DSZ, if your environment variable "DSZLOG" is NOT set
correctly, DSZ will return an error code to the QWK module which
tells it that the download of a QWK packet was unsuccessful (even
though the packet was fully received on the caller's side).
DSZ will send the QWK packet just fine, but when it tries to write
to its DSZLOG file, it will fail if the environment setting for the
DSZLOG file is not correct.
The correct format for your DSZLOG environment variable is:
SET DSZLOG=C:\GAP\DSZLOG
Change the drive and directory to whatever is appropriate for
your system.
Note that the QWK/REP modules do NOT read the DSZLOG file, so
they could care less how you set it, but DSZ does care so it
either needs to NOT be set, or if set, set correctly.
