It *MIGHT* be that either that file already exists on the host, so the
host (receiver) decides to skip and go on to the next file (if there is
one), or the host cannot create the file (i.e. illegal filename, read-only
directory, etc..), or could be a problem with the receiver zmodem routine.

I've used XprZmodem2.0 both on unix (with rz/sz), and BBS's (WWIV, Atredes)
with no problems. Nice if it supported CRC-32, but I'll take it anyway I can.

(err, found a CRC-32 routine, but since I don't have a C compiler yet, I can't
attempt to modify it yet. If anyone wants to try it tho, mail..)
