:program for unix.

The recently posted new "updcrc" routine has a different calling sequence
than the updcrc() routine used by the rb, rs, sb, and sz programs.

I shall be testing this new routine this weekend, and assuming I find no gotchas
will post new versions of rz and sz that incorporate it.  (rz and sz support
ZMODEM protocol as well as the XMODEM and YMODEM protocols supported by rb and
sb).
