JrComm Buggy!
6 messages in this thread
Jack –
I seem to be having problems with the on-screen gadgets with 1.0. i'm
running an overscan screen (708×462) and the gadgets seem to be shifted
down and to the left from where the corresponding text is on the screen.
has anyone else reported this kind of stuff or is my system just weird?

William,
They should be relocating properly. Are you using a fixed-witdh font or
a proportional one? That will break the relocation code if you are.

Jack, Has the Zmodem code in JRcomm been directly ported from Chuck
Forsberg's code, or was it re-written? The reason I ask is because I use
SZ/RZ programs on my BBS for most protocol transfers and there are alot of
failures whenever callers use JRcomm.
Can you offer any insight on this problem?
Roger,
The ZMODEM was based on rzsz source, but I modified alot of it. What
type of problems are you having? I can't really discuss it without any
detalied info on them.

I'm not certain at all about 1.0, but previous versions had the Zmodem
problems. For the most part, it would react with many errors and then abort
transmission, under conditions where other terminals perform well.
I suggest you try SZ and RZ on the other end of a null-modem link and
fiddle with it. If necessary, go back to JRcomm .94 or .93 for some insight
into the problem.
I have had similar problems using SZ/RZ with 'custom' Zmodem code on DOS
machines, too. (i.e. not DSZ) In fact, quite bad things like aborting xfer
because SZ sent a file path (with "/"). DOS programmers should know better,
but then I'm rambling..
Roger,
I've done extensive ZMODEM testing between two Amigas and also with a PC
clone running Telix and DSZ. Since DSZ is the standard to rely against,
you can understand that I more concerned with it working correctly with
that than with some other port. I'll try to dig up the SZ/RZ stuff for the
Amiga to see if I can spot anything in the meantime. Hope you can come up
with some detailed problems so that I can try to pinpoint any remaining
problems. Thanks.
