Subject: DSZ and telnet
I mentioned the DSZ issue to Tom Rutherford in a private message and he
mentioned something that I had forgotten (if I had ever even noticed
it). DSZ.COM does _not_ support 7-bit transfers, BUT another version of
DSZ _does_ support 7-bit transfers: DSZ.EXE
DSZ.EXE uses a little more memory than DSZ.COM, so that might be a
consideration for some, though I never had a problem with it that I can
recall. I tried it and it did automatically request a 7-bit transfer
when the first byte failed during a telnet session, but it ultimately
failed to get a response from the remote to repeated requests for a
7-bit transfer. It's possible that particular remote system
(bbs.execpc.com) isn't allowing 7-bit transfers. That may not be the
case with _all_ remote systems, and it may be worth trying DSZ.EXE in
place of DSZ.COM with telnet in case it will work with a particular
system that you are trying to access for uploading and downloading. It
will either work or it won't.
Note: If you have both DSZ.COM and DSZ.EXE in the same directory,
DSZ.COM will be executed instead of DSZ.EXE. I keep the copies zipped
so that I can extract and use either one without the other being active.
