I retrieved a port of RZ and SZ done by CWRU ST enthusiasts (Bammi and
company, no doubt) from atari.archive.  It says it is version 1.67,
based on Chuck Forsberg's version 2.12 of SZ and version 2.03 of RZ.
I am wondering if there are any newer versions around.

My motivation for asking was that I would like to be able to upload
files without waiting for an ACK to come back from the receiving end
(i.e. in a continuous stream).  I've already tried out Alan Hamilton's
excellent XYZ, which does this.  I would feel more comfortable working
with something derived from the original, though.  Another (more
tangible) advantage of the original is Z-modem compression.

So, Jwahar or anyone out there, has Forsberg's RZ/SZ version 3.xx been
ported yet?  In case anyone is wondering (Derek?), I do plan to send
$10 to Alan Hamilton for XYZ (just because he obviously put a lot of
effort to make a robust program).  Anyway, thanks ...
