In addition to using tip's ~C, if you are using a new version of rzsz, it might need some patches. There is a poorly hacked (Linux) version of rzsz3.17 called rzsz3.18 at several sites. I don't recommend this. Patches for rszsz3.17 are available via anonymous ftp: netcom.com in ~/pub/alm The main problem with the new rzsz is that it talks to /dev/tty rather than stdin and stdout. If you are running on a Sun, it is also necessary to set the i/o buffer correctly. -AM
