Bergerson) Newsgroups: comp.sources.bugs Subject: Xmodem 3.9 - Is it broke? Keywords: Xmodem Ymodem Procomm Message-ID: <1288@p4tustin.UUCP> Date: 13 Dec 90 17:50:09 GMT Organization: POINT 4 Data Corporation, Tustin, CA Lines: 72 Last week Xmodem 3.9 by Steve Grandi was posted to comp.sources.unix. I compiled this version, without warnings or errors, under RISC/os 4.51 using the bsd 4.3 compiler. I started testing it using Procomm Plus 1.2 on a '386 clone under MSDOS 3.3. I cannot get this program to function properly. Can anyone Help? Details - When doing a xmodem send text (xmodem -st ), xmodem appends an arbitrary number of control Zs to the end of the file. See the output of wc below for three files before and after downloading. RISC/os Before download 21 151 870 297 1196 8438 102 586 3839 MSDOS After download 21 151 870 0 297 1197 8535 56 102 587 3866 26 The fourth column in the MSDOS listing is the number of ^Z at the end of the file. I also tried a Ymodem download and it added the same number of ^Z. When trying to do an xmodem receive (xmodem -rt) Xmodem never synchronizes with PCPlus. See the xmodem.log sample below. ++++++++ Mon Dec 10 10:44:06 1990 XMODEM Version 3.9 (November 1990) Command line: xmodem rt Line speed = 9600 bits per second Batch Receive Started in text mode ---- XMODEM File Receive Function CRC mode requested on command line Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 Header Sector Number Error on Sector 1 XMODEM Fatal Error: Reception Canceled by CAN-CAN I have also tried uploading with Ymodem and several other variations and they all have the same problem. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Carl Bergerson uunet!p4tustin!carl Point 4 Data Corporation carl@point4.com 15442 Del Amo Avenue Voice: (714) 259 0777 Tustin, CA 92680-6445 Fax: (714) 259 0921
