About a month ago I found a new version of ZMODEM named ZMDM163
that attempts to fix the infamous Zmodem upload to Forem ST
boards. Anyway, it does allow full speed uploads with the US Robotics
HST 14400 modem (I have seen 1600 cps files uploads to a Forem ST
board). But, the authors of this latest version did not leave their
name of a way to connect them. Neither did they release the source
code to their version 1.63. All I know is that they are called
"The ST Enthusiats" (sp??).

There are two bugs in version 1.63 that I would like to correct. The first
is that 1.63 fails to correctly start the upload transfer when you are
uploading a file to a Forem ST board which has the older TOS 1.0/1.2 ROMS.
1.63 works fine when uploading to a Forem ST board running TOS 1.4 (haven't
seen any boards with an STe running TOS 1.6 yet :-) ). So, I need the source
code to fix this.

Also, I would like to add other file extenders to the BINARY transfer mode,
such as ZOO and ZIP. I keep losing ZOO files from my UNIX account when I use
ZMODEM !!!

So, if anyone know who the "ST Enthusiats" are or if you have the source code
to the ZMDM163 version please send me email!!

TIA.
