Has anyone been able to get:
> 24032 14344 40.3% 11-Jun-93 23:39:14 xprzmodem.library
from this archive to work for uploads? If so, what's the secret? (It does
seem to download OK.)
I can't get it to upload under VLTjr Version 5.576 (either ZModem text or
binary transfers). I've tried a couple of different BBSs/services with the
same results. When I revert back to:
> xprzmodem.library 20172 —-rwed 06-Mar-92 20:10:04
> : xprzmodem 2.52 (06-Mar-92)
then everything's just fine. YES I did make sure that I'd flushed and was
using the library version(s) I thought I was.
Perhaps the two versions require different parameters — since the CIS
archive includes essentially no documentation — I couldn't say no 🙂
I also didn't try the 030 (so it says) version of the library — but, since
the archive does not identify the author responsible for 'Version 2.60' I'm not
inclined to waste any more time on it.

Bob,
You might be wise to pass on this one. As the author states, he only
writes these things because "people ask him to". The author boo-booed and
left an inaccurate tag in the code. For example if you rename the files
to XPRZMODEM68020.LIBRARY, XPRZMODEM68030.LIBRARY, etc., the library will
be found.

Right.

Do you know who the author is? I couldn't find any clue in this archive —
including looking thru the executable! I shoulda stuck with my usual rule for
unidentified code — immediate deletion! At best, such an incomplete archive
smells of unauthorized distribution — at worst, need I say?

I kinda thought so but only installed the processor-indifferent (sic) version
and that hardly encouraged me to try xprzmodem68030.library (under any name).
