If I understand this proposal correctly, what you have described is a way to use uucico as a protocol selection frontend to the standard ZModem file trans- fer routines. Likewise for XModem and YModem, yes? A useful idea, but please do not call it 'z', a code that Rick Adams and I are trying to reserve for a native UUCP ZModem protocol implementation. Call yours 'Z' or something like that. If someone really wants to do a native UUCP Zmodem protocol, I'd be happy to discuss it with them. It's about a two-day hack for someone who already knows UUCP. (Romain keeps implying he doesn't have enough work to do. Here's some- thing I could throw at him.... :-))
