PCZ2DSZ

A PCZ to DSZ Log Converter for PCBoard

(C)Copyright \/\/alter Cox 1991.

The problem: PCBoard knows how to read the file transfer log created
by Omen Technology's DSZ, but it doesn't know how to read
the corresponding file created by Drue Kennon and Gary
Smith's PCZ, a Public Domain implementation of Zmodem and
other file transfer protocols.


The solution: PCZ2DSZ.EXE, which converts PCZ.LOG into DSZ.LOG.

PCZ.LOG is the file transfer log file created by PCZ.

DSZ.LOG contains the same data as PCZ.LOG, but the data
are arranged in the same order as a log file created by
DSZ. The converted DSZ.LOG will be used by PCBoard in the
same way it uses a log file created by DSZ.

How to use it:

1. Create the environment variables DSZLOG and PCZLOG in your
BOARD.BAT file. DSZLOG points to DSZ.LOG in PCBoard's current
directory, and PCZLOG points to PCZ.LOG, also in PCBoard's
current directory. For example:

SET DSZLOG=D:\PCB\DSZ.LOG
SET PCZLOG=D:\PCB\PCZ.LOG

2. Create the batch files PCBRP.BAT and PCBSP.BAT for uploads and
downloads, respectively. The examples below enable the
Super_Z option for PCZ.

PCBRP.BAT
---------
echo off
if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
if exist pcz.log del pcz.log
pcz %1 %2 k d s rz r %3\
PCZ2DSZ

PCBSP.BAT
---------
echo off
if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
if exist pcz.log del pcz.log
pcz %1 %2 d s sz r %3
PCZ2DSZ

3. Copy PCZ2DSZ.EXE to your PCBoard directory, any directory on
the PATH, or put the full path & filename in the batch files.

4. Add the following to your PCBPROT.DAT file:

PCZ2DSZ has been tested and is in use on a two-node PCBoard running
under DESQview, the Wright Place BBS in Baltimore, 301-882-4481. Give
a call (1200/2400/9600 V.32) if you'd like to try it out, or if you
need help installing PCZ2DSZ.
