One small drawback to this version is that it won't work with third-party
(i.e., non-Omen Technlogies) zmodem programs.  I believe that one of the
Unix directories on Simtel still contains rzsz0525.arc (that's 5/25/89:
old, but PDQ nonetheless, and it's not so fussy about the other end of the
connection).  This is Unix/VMS source for the program, along with simple 
instructions for compiling it.  It doesn't allow for wildcards under VMS,
but there is a patch available which provides this function via some very
nice public domain routines originally supplied by DECUS.
