At one time I had Chuck Forsberg's rz/sz programs running under SCO XENIX
286 without a hitch.  When he posted a new version to alt.sources several
months back, I tried to upgrade.  It didn't work, and every since I haven't
been able to get back to a working copy.  (Flames about preserving old
versions when upgrading are not desired -- but deserved.)  I have tried
the following versions of "rz":

    #define VERSION "1.14 01-15-87"
    #define VERSION "1.26 08-21-87"
    #define VERSION "1.29 03-08-88"

I am totally confused.  At one time I had this thing running without a
hitch, but now rz either fails to start up the transfer or it fails
on every packet.  My top three hypothesis are:

(1)  Out of the multitude of versions of rz, there is only one
     which works with SCO XENIX 286.

(2)  I need to compile it some other way than just "make xenix".

(3)  My modem line configuration is messed up, and I need to do a
     stty before invoking the transfer.

Can anybody out there help me with this quandry?  Please mail, and
I will summarize if there is interest.  Thanks.
