4319.0. "Zmodem continue - how?" by 21752::GAY (Underground living can be Hobbit forming) Wed Nov 28 1990 18:25

    How do I continue an interrupted zmodem upload?
    
    I'm using the latest SZ.EXE under VMS and the latest VLT on my 
    Amiga.  
    
    No matter what switches I use with SZ it always starts at the beginning
    of the file.  The relevent switches appear to be "+" and "r", but
    they seem to be blithely ignored. 
    
    I'd appreciate an "I use it this way and it works" answer from
    one of you that has done it.
    
    Thanks

    There's an option you need to enable in VLT's external protocol
    configuration menu.  I forget the details, maybe somebody will
    remember...

    Look in the Transfer Menu, External Options item.
    
    It will give a requester.  Change overwrite to 'R'
    
    You can newzap the xprzmodem.library to zap the value to be the 'R' all
    the time.  Sector 30, Byte 0x20, change this to an 'R', then save it.
    
    Of course, all the standard disclaimers apply, and kids don't try this
    at home, unless you have your parents permission. 8-O

    Re: .2
    
    Or if you not into open heart surgery, try an environment variable with
    the name of the xpr protocol (in this xprzmodem) and set all your
    default settings there. See the xprzmodem docs for details.

    Oh, ahem, ah yes, I should have rtfm.  
    
    Now that you've given me the answer, I'll go do what I should have
    done before (thanks for both the answers and the pointer).
