Hi All,
   A friend of mine without net access is trying to use Zterm with his
Sun workstation somewhat successfully. He has a couple of comments/
problems with Zterm that he thought the net might be able to help
with.

First, somewhere in the settings for Zmodem, there is an option to
have Zterm upload to a Unix machine, which is running rz. What is this
rz program and is it (source preferably) available for FTP somewhere?

Second, if rz is unavailable for some reason, are sources to the
zmodem protocols available so my friend could write his own Unix
package?  If so, where?

Third, it seems that he can set the VT100 screen size to an arbitrary
large size and can enlarge the Zterm window to the same larger size,
but Zterm always truncates at 25 lines no matter how tall the window
is. He is working on a portrait display on the Mac, so he would like
to have VT100 addressing work with a much larger window. The Sun can
handle it, can Zterm? If not, could someone forward this comment to
the author? Thanks...

(I personally like Zterm but can't use it until it gets Kermit
protocols to talk to the various mainframes I use...)

Thanks a lot!                              ......Adam
