Summary of commands for FreeZe Dried Software Protocols,
Beta-Test version .35
This program is in its development and testing stages. We will be adding
more protocols and increasing the efficiency and thoroughput of this program.
After it is perfected, it will become an internal part of the FreeZe Dried
Terminal and possibly UNet and UBBS/III. If you find a problem with it,
please report it to the authors. If you don't, the problem may reoccur in
later versions of this and other programs which use it. By releasing this
Beta-test version, we are asking you the user to test it out for us in all
possible situations and let us know if it doesn't meet your standards so we
may improve it.
DISCLAIMER: This program has been thoroughly tested and it is hoped that it
contains no errors. But, the authors will accept no
responsibility for any damages caused by this program. There
are no warranties, whether written or implied regarding the use
of this program. You use it at your own risk!

Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
If you have specifications (Book Reference, Text File, etc.) on Z-Modem, Puma,
Lynx, Super 8K, K9XModem, etc. protocols, or feel that you can help in any
way with this project, please drop us a note. We plan on addressing any
shortcomings in this program, along with adding every conceivable protocol
possible. If you would like to see a certain protocol which we haven't
listed, let us know.
Rules For Use:
----- --- ---
By now I'm sure you've read the standard shareware plea a thousand times, so
I will not bother to repeat it again for your enjoyment. If you like this
program and use it regularly, all we ask is that you send in a $10 donation
to the above address. We can't force you to, as this works on the honor
system. (It is not necessary for registered users of FzDSTerm or UBBS to
send in this donation; you have already done your part, enjoy!)
If you have FzP installed in a BBS system as an external protocol, we ask
that you mention "FreeZe Dried Dried Software Protocols" somewhere in an
"information about this BBS" type of bulletin along with the above address,
for further information. We also would hope that you make an archived copy
of this documentation and the program available to your ST users, so they may
use it also.
This software may be distributed freely as long at it includes this
documentation, and is not "sold" to anyone except to pay for the price of the
media and shipping prices. Upload this everywhere!
Command Line Structure:
------- ---- ---------
FreeZe Dried Software Protocols currently supports Xmodem CRC, Xmodem 1K,
Ymodem Batch, Ymodem-G Batch, and Fmodem Batch. The commands are passed by
way of a command line when executed by being typed at a .TTP dialog or passed
by a shell. The following deals with the structure of the parameters being
passed on the command line:
FzDS Protocols defaults to receive mode. All commands must be seperated by
a space. FzP accepts wild cards as filenames for batch modes. If a wildcard
is used in a single file mode, FzDS Protocols will use the first matching
file. Filenames can include a path.
Format: (Options in brackets are optional.)
-X/-K/-Y/-G/-F {-S -C -D -Ix -Ox} {x:\path\} {{x:\path\}file.ext ...}
^-Must have one ^-Switches are optional. They can be in any order,
and only one or not included at all. "x"s are parameters.
command.
A path without a filename will reset the default receive/send path in FzP.
Anywhere in the program where a filename exists without a path, this default
path will be added to it. When receiving a file using a batch protocol, the
file will be put in this path.
At least one filename must be included for ALL sends. If sending using Batch
protocols, more than one file may be included.
X-Modem is the only protocol that requires a filename for a receive.
Filenames will be ignored when receiving using batch protocols.
Commands:
--------
-X filename.ext
Send using Xmodem CRC/Receive using Xmodem CRC or Xmodem 1K (Automatically
detects block size to use.)
Example:-X -S D:\SCUM\TEST.LZH
Sends D:\SCUM\TEST.LZH using Xmodem CRC
-K filename.ext
Send using Xmodem 1K (Not needed for Receive because -X automatically
detects block size.)
Example:-K -S TEST.LZH
Sends TEST.LZH using Xmodem 1K
-Y {filename.ext ...}
Send/Receive using Ymodem Batch
Example:-Y -S TEST.LZH TEST2.LZH
Sends TEST.LZH and TEST2.LZH using Ymodem Batch
Example:-Y D:\SCUM\
Receives using Ymodem Batch. All received files will be put
in the D:\SCUM\ directory.
Example:-Y -S *.LZH
Sends all files matching *.LZH using Ymodem Batch
-G {filename.ext ...}
Send/Receive using Ymodem-G Batch
Example:-G -S TEST.LZH TEST2.LZH
Sends TEST.LZH and TEST2.LZH using Ymodem-G Batch
Example:-G
Receives using Ymodem-G Batch
Example:-G -S *.LZH
Sends all files matching *.LZH using Ymodem-G Batch
-F {filename.ext ...}
Send/Receive using Fmodem Batch
Example:-F -S TEST.LZH TEST2.LZH
Sends TEST.LZH and TEST2.LZH using Fmodem Batch
Example:-F
Receives using Fmodem Batch
Example:-F -S *.LZH
Sends all files matching *.LZH using Fmodem Batch
Switches:
--------
-S
Send mode (upload). Without this switch, FzP will default to receive
mode (download).
-C
Turn on Carrier Detect. If the carrier detect drops during any portion
of a transmission, FzP will abort and exit.
-D
Delete incompletely transferred files while in receive mode.
-N
Overwrites a file if one currently exists with that name. Otherwise, the
transfer is aborted.
-Ofilename.ext
Creates a text file with the given filename and stores the names of
successfully transferred files in it. Filename must be immediately after
the -O. (This is used to return a list of files back to the calling
program.)
Example:-Y -OGOT.TXT
Receives using Ymodem Batch and stores the filenames of all
successfully received files in GOT.TXT
-Ifilename.ext
For batch modes only. Protocol looks for text file with the given
filename, and attempts to send all files contained in it. Filenames may
or may not include a path, and may use wildcards. Only the first 100
matching files are sent.
Example:-Y -ISEND.TXT
Sends all files listed in SEND.TXT using Ymodem Batch.
