OVERVIEW
--------
The GSZRZ program package comprises the X/Y/ZMODEM file transfer protocols
for the Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon computers.
The programs can be used in conjunction with almost any communication
program.
The transfer status is displayed in a dialog window. When leaving the
program, the final message is written to STDERR output. If GSZRZ is used
in conjunction with Michael Bernards' RUFUS or Wolfgang Wander's CoNnect,
this message is written to the terminal window.
GSZRZ can be used under MultiTOS and MAG!X.
FILES
-----
The GSZRZ program package consists of the following files:
GSZRZ_30.PRG Atari TT/Falcon version of the accessory or GEM program.
Cannot be used on an ATARI ST!
GSZRZ_ST.PRG Atari ST version of the accessory or GEM program.
GSZRZENG.TXT This documentation.
HISTORY.ENG GSZRZ history file, English since v5.0.
GACCTEST.ZIP Example Pure-C source code to call GSZRZ as an accessory.
HSMODAxx.LZH Archive of Harun Scheutzow's excellent serial patch for all
Ataris.
The GEM (PRG) programs can be used as accessory programs by renaming the
files with the ACC extension.
INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation depends on the communication program used. Here are some
hints for installing with RUFUS.
If your computer has enough memory available, you can install GSZRZ as
an accessory: Copy GSZRZ_xx.ACC as GSZRZACC.ACC into the root directory,
use the slot ZMODEM in RUFUS' dialog box 'Protokoll', and save the
parameters using 'Parameter sichern'.
If you want to use the TT/FALCON accessory, you have to rename it or
enter the line ACCNAME=GSZRZ_30.ACC into the file RUFUS.RUF.
This will not be necessary with CoNnect as it can search for the ACC's
name. In CoNnect, you simply click on the button 'ACC suchen' in the
dialog box Transfer. If GSZRZ_xx.ACC can be found, CoNnect will enter its
name accordingly.
If you want to use GSZRZ as a PRG, you have to rename the accessory to
GSZRZ_xx.PRG and copy it into RUFUS' module directory. In RUFUS' dialog
box 'Protokoll', enter a free slot, enter a protocol name, choose type
EXTERN. At 'Sender', choose GSZRZxxx.PRG by clicking on the name. At
'Parameter', enter '-sz' and other parameters as needed separated by
blanks. Then, at 'Empfänger', choose GSZRZxxx.PRG by clicking on the name.
At 'Parameter', enter '-rz' and other parameters as needed separated by
blanks. Save the parameters using 'Parameter sichern'.
To use GSZRZ with HARLEKIN III, GSZRZ_xx.ACC has to be renamed to
GSZRZACC.ACC and copied into the root directory of the boot partition. In
'Optionen' 'ZMODEM' activate 'externes Modul anwenden'. In 'Senden' and
'Empfangen' you have to enter '-M', at least in HARLEKIN version 3.0 (see
TROUBLE.TXT). The parameters '-sz' and '-rz' are added by HARLEKIN.
MultiTOS
--------
If you work with MultiTOS and GSZRZ is not used as a program and if
another serial device then MODEM1 is used, then you must specify the -H
parameter!
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that the case of the parameters is important (e.g., '-g' is
different from '-G') and always use the parameters exactly as indicated.
Multiple parameters have to be separated by spaces (see the examples
below). File name have to be given AFTER the last parameter. If you're
using CoNnect, the '$' has to be the last character of the parameters for
sending.
GSZRZ contains routines for sending and receiving. To tell GSZRZ to send
or to receive, the FIRST parameter has to be '-sz' or '-rz'. If you are
using GSZRZ as an accessory in conjunction with RUFUS or CoNnect, this
will be done for you by RUFUS/CoNnect automatically.
If you don't specify the parameter '-a', all transfers will be performed
in binary mode.
GSZRZ' ZMODEM routines default to the fastest transfer rate possible. If
the phone line is rather noisy and you don't use MNP/V42, it is safer to
specify block acknowledge mode by the parameter '-l 1024' (see parameter
-l for sending). This will however slow down the transfer somewhat.
PARAMETERS FOR RECEIVING
------------------------
Translation of incoming newline characters
-a This function is used in transferring ASCII files e.g. from
UNIX systems to the ATARI. Incoming newline characters are
translated into carriage return/line feed sequences.
Include protocol end into CPS rate
-A At the end of a file transmission an acknowledge between
sender and receiver is done. Some people want to include
this in the final calculation of the CPS rate.
If -A is set, the last CPS-rate is calculated after the
acknowledge.
Receive buffer size
-b SIZE This parameter is used to specify the size of the receive
buffer of the serial interface. SIZE indicates the buffer's
size in bytes. The default value of 1024 bytes should be
sufficient for most cases.
SIZE: default 1024 bytes, minimum 128, maximum 16384
The receive buffer can be completely disabled using
the setting: -b 0
Use CRC with XMODEM
-c If this parameter is specified, the XMODEM routines use a
16 bit CRC instead of a simple checksum. While this is
safer, don't expect every XMODEM protocol program to be
able to work in this mode.
Suppress carrier detect
-D If this parameter is specified, the monitoring of the
carrier detect line will be suppressed.
Escaping of control characters
-e If this parameter is specified, the 'escaping' of all
control characters will be performed. (Often used in
UNIX systems)
File buffer size
-F SIZE This parameter specifies the size of the file buffer. When
receiving a file, all incoming characters are stored in a
buffer. Whenever this buffer fills, it will be written to
the hard disk/floppy disk. As this affects the transfer
rate, this buffer's size can be specified. SIZE indicates
the size of the buffer in bytes, the suffixes 'K' and 'M'
indicate kilobyte and megabyte, e.g. '-F 16K' and '-F 2M'.
'-F -1' results in a buffer that uses all available RAM
except 100 KB.
SIZE: default 8192 bytes, minimum 1024 bytes
Stream mode in XMODEM/YMODEM
-g If this parameter is specified, XMODEM and YMODEM transfers
will use the stream mode, i.e. the acknowledging of each
data block will be suppressed. Usually, after receiving
every data block an acknowledgement is returned to the
sender to signal that the block has been received
successfully. If the connection is reliable (MNP5, V42bis),
the transfer rate can be increased by omitting these
acknowledgements.
Audible indication of the end of the transfer
-G The end of the transfer will be indicated by an audible
signal ('ping').
Serial device
-H n With this parameter You can select a serial device. This is
useful, if GSZRZ is used as accessory under MultiTOS.

7 - MODEM2 MODEM2 MODEM2
8 - SERIAL2 SERIAL1 SERIAL2/LAN
9 - - SERIAL2 -
Iconify the GSZRZ window on startup
-I x,y With this parameter it is possible (only with MultiTOS
with AES version > 4.0) to iconify the window of GSZRZ
already at startup and position the window at x,y (min.
position: 1,1). If MultiTOS isn't used, the normal Window
is placed at this position.
Log file
-L [x:\path\]filename.ext[,level]
Log all activities to the file specified.
On level 1, for each transmitted file an entry
to the file specified using the following format:
SZ: HISTORY.TXT Len: 20408 Tim: 00.00.18 Err: 0 CPS: x
RZ: ANSI.SYS Len: 1709 Tim: 00.00.02 Err: 0 CPS: x
^^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|| file name bytes duration error code
|X/Y/Z protocol
S or R for Send / Receive
On level 2, each message displayed on the line
'last status/error' is written to the logfile too.
Use MIDI interface
-m If this parameter is specified, the transfer will be
performed via MIDI interface. If GSZRZ is used as an
accessory in conjunction with RUFUS, this parameter
is added by RUFUS and must not be specified
(see example below).
Disable mouse interrupt
-M This parameter disables the mouse interrupt during the
transfer. Use this parameter if moving the mouse disturbs
the file transfer. In addition, this parameter causes the
AES multitasking to be disabled to achieve maximum data
rates on the ST.
Reaction to existing file names:
In the YMODEM and ZMODEM protocols, the file name is
specified by the sender. If a file of that name already
exists, the receiver's reaction can be specified.
-o FILE.EXT The file name specified by the sender will be replaced by
FILE.EXT. CAUTION: You cannot specify a path here!
-p The receiver will send SKIP to the sender and the file will
not be transferred. CAUTION: lower case 'p'!
-E The extension of the ALREADY EXISTING file will be changed
to .001, if that one is already existing to .002 etc.
-y The existing file will be deleted.
-r If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical,
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, an alert with
the following possibilities is displayed:
Rename: Enter a new filename for the file to receive
Delete: Delete the existing file
Abort: Abort the receive
-rr If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical, the
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, a Resume is
carried out.
-ry If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical, the
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, the existing
file is deleted.
-rp If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical, the
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, the receive is
skipped.
-rE If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical, the
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, the extension
of the ALREADY EXISTING file will be changed to .001, if
that one is already existing to .002 etc.
-ro FILE.EXT If the sender can handle it, a CRC check is done on the
existing part of the file. If the CRC's are identical, the
transmission is resumed. If the file CRC's are different or
the sender can't handle a CRC verification, the file name
specified by the sender will be replaced by the filename
given on FILE.EXT. CAUTION: You cannot specify a path here!
If none of these parameters are in affect, an alert box is displayed in
the way a different CRC is handled.
Specify the download directory
-P PATH This parameter specifies the target directory. If this
parameter has not been specified, all files received will
be stored in the current directory.
If a file with path affixed to the file name is received, a
possible drive specifier will be stripped off. The
remaining path will be appended to the current path or, if
a path was specified by '-P', to the specified path.
Example: Let C:\MAIL\DOWNLOAD be the current directory.
Receive a file J:\TEST\XYZ\FILE.EXT. The file stored will
be:
without '-P':
C:\MAIL\DOWNLOAD\TEST\XYZ\FILE.EXT
with '-P D:\RECEIVE':
D:\RECEIVE\TEST\XYZ\FILE.EXT
Non-existent directories will be created.
-d If this parameter is specified, possible paths on the
incoming file names will be stripped off. This safety
precaution should be used with bulletin board systems
(BBS).
Suppress outputs to STDERR when leaving GSZRZ
-q If this parameter is specified, the output of the final
message to STDERR will be suppressed. Use this in
conjunction with communication programs that do not
redirect STDERR.
Resume an interrupted transfer
-r With this parameter, the sender tells the receiver that
it's possible to handle a CRC protected resume.
Set the file date
-s Set the file date of the file received to the current date.
This can be useful in BBS programs.
Output the CPS rate to STDERR
-S If this parameter is specified, the CPS rate will be
written to STDERR at the end of the transfer.
Set the time-out time
-t TIM This parameter sets the time-out time to TIM/10 seconds. It
has been implemented as some BBS take rather long to set up
a ZMODEM transfer. Usually, there should be no problems
with the default value of 100 (i.e. 10 seconds). Minimum
10, maximum 1000.
Setting the priority (MultiTOS only)
-v pri Set priority if running with MTOS.
Default: +20, min: -20, max: +20
Protocol for receiving
The default protocol used is ZMODEM. If you want to use one
of the other protocols, specify one of these parameters:
-X Use XMODEM protocol
-Y Use YMODEM protocol
Checking the on-line time
-U time on-line time remaining
-C baud rate actual baud rate
For the usage in BBS programs, the checking of the on-line
time was implemented (key word: "NetCall Hour"). This needs
two parameters -C and -U. The value following -C gives the
remaining on-line time in seconds. The value following -U
gives the actual baud rate. If the remaining time doesn't
suffice for an upload, RZ will exit with an exit code 9 and
the message 'not enough time for upload'. At that time,
no files have been created. If the available on-line time
is exceeded, the receive operation will be stopped with an
error code 10. The partially received file will be closed,
so that the transfer can be resumed later on.
Example: -rz -C 19200 -U 100
EXAMPLES
--------
Some examples of parameters for RZ:
-rz Receive using ZMODEM
-rz -Y Receive using YMODEM
-rz -Y -g Receive using YMODEM-1k-g
-rz -X TEST.XYZ Receive using XMODEM.
NOTE: a file name MUST be specified as it cannot be
transferred by XMODEM!
-rz -y -o TEST.XYZ -P D:\MAIL\DOWNLOAD
Receive using ZMODEM, carrier detect disabled, target
directory specified, file name specified, delete
possibly existing file
-rz -m Receive via MIDI interface
-rz -m -b 8192 -l 8192
Receive via MIDI. The Rx buffer has to be set to 8 KB
if you are using 8 KB blocks to avoid buffer overflow.
PARAMETERS FOR SENDING
----------------------
REMEMBER: Please remember to specify the file name(s) after all the
parameters have been given.
Append to existing file
-+ The receiver should append the file transferred to an
existing file (ZMODEM only).
ASCII Transfer
-a ASCII Transfer. The receiver has to translate CR/LF (ZMODEM
only)
Include protocol end into CPS rate
-A At the end of a file transmission an acknowledge between
sender and receiver is done. Some people want to include
this in the final calculation of the CPS rate.
If -A is set, the last CPS-rate is calculated after the
acknowledge.
Suppress break
-b At a retry, NO break will be sent to the modem (ZMODEM
only). Usually, a break is sent to the modem at a block
retry operation to empty the modem's buffer.
Conversion of '.'
-d Dots '.' in path names are converted to slashes '/'
(Y/ZMODEM only). This is useful if the receiver isn't able
to handle dots in file names.
Suppress carrier detect
-D If this parameter is specified, monitoring of the carrier
detect line is suppressed.
Escaping of control characters
-e If this parameter is specified, 'escaping' of all control
characters is performed as is commonplace on UNIX systems.
Send path name to the receiver
-f If this parameter is specified, the full path name is
transmitted together with the file name (ZMODEM only).
Note that '\' is converted to '/' as noted in the
Zmodem Specification. Some Zmodem programs on PC's
cannot accept this conversion!
File buffer size
-F SIZE This parameter specifies the size of the file buffer. When
sending a file, this buffer is filled by reading from
hard disk/floppy disk. SIZE indicates the size of the buffer
in bytes, the suffixes 'K' and 'M' indicate kilobyte and
megabyte, e.g. '-F 16K' and '-F 2M'.
'-F -1' results in a buffer that uses all available RAM
except 100 KB.
SIZE: default 8192 bytes, minimum 1024 bytes
Audible indication of the end of the transfer
-G The end of the transfer will be indicated by an audible
signal ('bell').
Serial device
-H n With this parameter You can select a serial device. This is
useful, if GSZRZ is used as accessory under MultiTOS.

1 AUX AUX AUX AUX
3 MIDI MIDI MIDI MIDI
6 MODEM1 MODEM1 MODEM1 -
7 - MODEM2 MODEM2 MODEM2
8 - SERIAL2 SERIAL1 SERIAL2/LAN
9 - - SERIAL2 -
Iconify the GSZRZ window on startup
-I x,y With this parameter it is possible (only with MultiTOS
with AES version > 4.0) to iconify the window of GSZRZ
already at startup and position the window at x,y (min.
position: 1,1). If MultiTOS isn't available, the normal
Window is placed at this position.
Block size for XMODEM/YMODEM
-k Send 1024 byte packages. The X/YMODEM default value is 128
bytes.
Request receiver acknowledge
-l N Request an acknowledge from the receiver after N bytes
(32 <= N <= 1024, 8192 if parameter -8 is used) have been
transferred (ZMODEM only). The ZMODEM default is to use
stream mode, i.e. the sender will send data blocks
continuously and will be requested to repeat blocks in
cases of errors only. This results in an increased data
rate in the stream mode. If no hardware handshake is
possible (e.g. MIDI interface), this parameter forces a
software handshake to be performed.
Log file
-L [x:\path\]filename.ext[,level]
Log all activities to the file specified.
On level 1, for each transmitted file an entry
to the file specified using the following format:
SZ: HISTORY.TXT Len: 20408 Tim: 00.00.18 Err: 0 CPS: x
RZ: ANSI.SYS Len: 1709 Tim: 00.00.02 Err: 0 CPS: x
^^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|| file name bytes duration error code
|X/Y/Z protocol
S or R for Send / Receive
On level 2, each message displayed on the line
'last status/error' is written to the logfile too.
Use MIDI interface
-m If this parameter is specified, the transfer will be
performed via the MIDI interface. If GSZRZ is used as an
accessory in conjunction with RUFUS, this is the default
and this parameter need not be specified (see example
below).
As the MIDI interface does not have handshake lines, a
software handshake has to be requested by specifying the
parameter '-l 1024' or '-l 8192' if parameter -8 is used.
Disable mouse interrupt
-M This parameter disables the mouse interrupt during the
transfer. Use this parameter if moving the mouse disturbs
the file transfer. In addition, this parameter causes the
multitasking to be disabled to achieve maximum data rates
on the ST.
Conditional transfer
-n Send file only if it is newer or longer than the one that
already exists at the receiver (ZMODEM only).
-N Send file only if it has a different file date or is longer
than the one that already exists at the receiver (ZMODEM
only).
16 Bit CRC
-o Use 16 Bit CRC only for ZMODEM transfers. Saves 2 bytes per
block transferred. Some older ZMODEM programs use nothing
but 16 Bit CRC.
Protect an existing file
-p If the file to be transferred already exists at the
receiver, the transfer will NOT be performed (ZMODEM only).
Suppress outputs to STDERR when leaving GSZRZ
-q If this parameter is specified, the output of the final
message to STDERR will be suppressed. Use this in
conjunction with communication programs that do not
redirect STDERR.
Resume an interrupted transfer
-r If this parameter is specified, the receiver is told that
the sender is able to resume a partial transfer (ZMODEM
only).
Use script file for sending
-s FILE.EXT The names of the files to be transferred are being read
from the script file FILE.EXT (ZMODEM only). Useful for
transferring the same files repeatedly.
Output the CPS rate to STDERR
-S If this parameter is specified, the CPS rate will be
written to STDERR at the end of the transfer.
Set the time-out time
-t TIM Sets the time-out time to TIM/10 seconds. This is the
duration of time which will be waited for an answer from
the receiver until an error is assumed. Usually, there
should be no problems with the default value of 600 (i.e.
60 seconds). Minimum 10, maximum 1000.
Delete file after transfer
-u The file to be transferred will be deleted after the
transfer has ended.
Setting the priority (MultiTOS only)
-v pri Set priority if running with MultiTOS.
Default: +20, min: -20, max: +20
Replace existing file
-y The receiver will replace a file of the same name that
possibly already exists with the file transferred (ZMODEM
only)
Protocol for sending
The default protocol used is ZMODEM. If you want to use one
of the other protocols, specify one of these parameters:
-X Use XMODEM protocol
-Y Use YMODEM protocol
Checking the on-line time
-U time on-line time remaining
For the usage in BBS programs, the checking of the on-line
time was implemented. The value following -C gives the
remaining on-line time in seconds. If the available on-line
time is exceeded, the send operation will be stopped with
an error code 10.
Example: -sz -U 100
Transfer big blocks
-8 Use 8 KB blocks for transfer. CAUTION: Don't expect to find
many ZMODEM programs that can use this option at the other
end of the line!
EXAMPLES
--------
Some examples of parameters for sending:
-sz TEST.XYZ send using ZMODEM
-sz *.C *.H send all files with extensions .C and .H using ZMODEM
-sz -Y TEST.XYZ send using YMODEM
-sz -Y -k TEST.XYZ send using YMODEM-1k-g
-sz -X TEST.XYZ send using XMODEM
-sz -8 TEST.XYZ send using ZMODEM in 8 KB blocks
-sz -m -l 1024 TEST.XYZ
send via MIDI interface
If the receiver uses GSZRZ, too, you can use 8 KB block transfers via MIDI
interfaces, too, by specifying:
-sz -m -8 -l 8192 TEST.XYZ
The receiver has to use these parameters:
-rz -m -b 8192
EXIT CODES
----------
When exiting from the program, GSZRZ returns one of the following exit
codes to the caller:
-1 Protocol error
1 Argument error, command line parameters wrong
2 File not found
3 User break by entering Ctrl-C, clicking on 'closer' or abort.
4 Initialization error (graf_handle, appl_init)
5 File skipped by other side
6 Memory allocation error, not enough memory
7 Carrier lost
8 Invalid structure pointer (see ACC protocol)
9 Not enough time for upload
10 Time limit exceeded
11 No/wrong port handle
12 Disk full
16 Cancel received Aborted by other side
128+ Transfer error (for example, if 4 files are to be transferred and the
receiver skips 2 files, 128 + 2 = 130 is returned. If no sync is
established, 128 is returned)
ACC PROTOCOL USED BY GSZRZ
--------------------------
GSZRZ used as an ACC is addressed using a special protocol via the
application message function of GEM.
msgbuf[0] Contains the ID of the ACC protocol. It consists of the
letters 'GZ'. i.e. the hex value 0x475A.
msgbuf[1] Contains the application ID, i.e. the value that is returned
by appl_init().
msgbuf[2] Always has to be 0.
msgbuf[3] Contains the length of the command line string.
msgbuf[4] The lower 16 bits of the pointer to the command line string.
msgbuf[5] The upper 16 bits of the pointer to the command line string.
The command line string has to be terminated by 0x00. It
contains the usual switches as in calls to the PRG, e.g.
"-rz -D -P C:\\DOWNLOAD"
RETURN CODES
------------
At exit, GSZRZ returns the following values to the calling program:
msgbuf[0] = GZ_PRIVATE;
msgbuf[1] = appl_id;
msgbuf[2] = Exitcode;
msgbuf[3] = (int) strlen(message);
msgbuf[4] = (unsigned int) ((long) message & 0XFFFF);
msgbuf[5] = (unsigned int) ((long) message >> 16);
msgbuf[6] = 0;
msgbuf[7] = 0;
appl_write(msgbuf[1], 16, txmsgbuf);
'message' is a pointer to a string, that's written to STDOUT when exiting
the program. RUFUS/CoNnect causes this string to be displayed as a GSZRZ
message in the communication window.
'Exitcode' contains GSZRZ's return code.
RTS/CTS HANDSHAKE
-----------------
As the GSZRZ programs use the ST/TT's operating system routines, the
RTS/CTS handshake has to be performed by the communication program (e.g.
RUFUS) or using the control area.
Because the TOS routines are faulty even in TOS 1.04 and TOS 3.05, a patch
has to be installed.
With the ATARI ST, I can recommend HSMODEM1 by Harun Scheutzow.
With the TT, SERPTCH2 by ATARI is recommended, because it will repair all
interfaces.
With TOS 3.06, SERPTCH2 should no longer needed.
SHAREWARE VERSIONS
------------------
The Shareware-Version of GSZRZ is restricted in some functions. The user
can evaluate the programs for 3 weeks, copy them freely, and share them
with other users. All registered versions are for single users and MUST
NOT be copied and handed on to other users.
If you use these programs more than 3 weeks, you MUST pay a fee of DM
35.00 to the author (XENIA Software, Michael Ziegler) or £16 registration
via Joe Connor in the UK. For details refer to SUPPORT.TXT included with
this archive.
If you pay via remittance order from abroad, please don't forget that
banks may subtract fees of up to DM 12.50. In Europe, the best way is to
pay by EuroCheque.
THANKS TO
---------
I would like to thank the many beta tester, especially:
Jürgen Meyer and Carsten Meyer (Maus @HH2) for the devoted testing,
Michael Bernards for the support by RUFUS,
Wolfgang Wander for the support by CoNnect,
Achim Wilhelm for supporting me in searching for bugs in the FALCON-TOS,
Harun Scheutzow for the best RTS/CTS patch for serial devices on ATARI
computers I ever seen.
All users of GSZRZ whose suggestions and advice on new features further
the development of the GSZRZ ZMODEM program package.
UPDATE SERVICE
--------------
For registered users of GSZRZ only, an update service has been installed
in several bulletin board systems (BBS).
Please allow for about 2 - 3 weeks after registration until you can use
this service. The files containing the registration data in the BBS are
updated irregularly.
This service is free of charge. It has been established on request by BBS
operators. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that this service and the latest
version of the GSZRZ program package will be available at all times.
For updating, you need the serial number of your GSZRZ program package.
You can find it in the file SERIAL.NUM on your registered disk.
After logging on to the BBS, call the updater from the menu. The updater
will answer with the following message in German:
