lrzsz For Linux

lrzsz is a unix communication package providing the XMODEM, YMODEM ZMODEM file transfer protocols.

lrzsz is a heavily rehacked version of the last public domain release of Omen Technologies rzsz package.

Here are some key features of "lrzsz":

� very portable, automagically configured with GNU autoconf. � crash recovery. � up to 8KB block sizes (ZMODEM8K). � internationalized (using GNU gettext). German translation of the programs output exists. � far more secure than the original sources. � high performance. say `make vcheck-z' and have a look at the BPS rate - i recently saw 1.4 MB per second transfering a large file through pipes (on a I586/133 system. Beat that!). � good blocksize calculation (tries to compute an optimal blocksize based on the number of errors occured). � It's free software.

What's New in This Release:

� works on BeOS and stone-aged SCO (sco-3.2v4.2) � pubdir-"feature" works again. � "make rpm" creates a rpm file. � "optimal blklen calculation" was too aggressive, it now does nothing if the user demands fixed blklens. � various smaller and medium bug fixes. � a more or less important security bug is fixed (stupid use of /tmp in a piece of code which is rarely used). � lrz uses umask to make files unreadable which receiving them. � "sh systype | mail [email protected]" sends a success report with a description of the system type. � --enable-syslog is now default
