Once you've defiled the sz program, it's not gonna work until you've undone your wrongs. Delete the old rz/sz, hose down the machine with industrial solvent (disconnect the power first, we practice safe computing around here), have the hardware blessed by Chuck (you never can be too careful), spend a day in meditation, contemplating the cruelty of defiling software, then attempt a fresh build of the zmodem software. If that doesn't work, you may want to look at your command syntax. -willie -- -- Finger wcbst4+@pitt.edu for my PGP key.
