DESCRIPTION

     The XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM family of file transfer  pro-
     grams  are  widely used on personal computers.  MINIX 3 sup-
     ports ZMODEM, the most advanced of the set.  The programs sz
     and rz are used for sending and receiving, respectively.

     Rz and sz are programs that uses an error correcting  proto-
     col  to  transfer  files  over  a dial-in serial port from a
     variety of programs running under various operating systems.
     Rz  (Receive  ZMODEM)  receives  files with the ZMODEM batch
     protocol.  Pathnames are supplied by  the  sending  program,
     and  directories  are made if necessary (and possible).  The
     meanings of the available options are:
    -a
       Convert files to UNIX conventions  by  stripping  carriage
       returns  and  all characters beginning with the first Con-
       trol Z (CP/M end of file).
    -b
       Binary (tell it like it is) file transfer override.
    -c
       Request 16 bit CRC.  XMODEM file transfers  default  to  8
       bit checksum.  YMODEM and ZMODEM normally use 16 bit CRC.
    -D
       Output file data to /dev/null; for testing.
    -e
       Force sender to escape all  control  characters;  normally
       XON, XOFF, DLE, CR-@-CR, and Ctrl-X are escaped.
    -p
       Protect: skip file if destination file exists.
    -q
       Quiet suppresses verbosity.
    -t
       Change timeout tenths of seconds (timeout follows flag).
    -v
       Verbose causes a list of file  names  to  be  appended  to
       /tmp/rzlog. More v's generate more output.
    -y
       Yes, clobber any existing files with the same name.
