MINIRB(1)                        UNIX System V                        MINIRB(1)


NAME
      minirb - Bootstrap YMODEM Batch file receive

SYNOPSIS
      minirb

DESCRIPTION
      Minirb receives one or more files with YMODEM batch file transfer
      protocol.  Minirb was developed for use as a bootstrap to simplify
      uploading of the longer rz and sz programs, such as are contained in the
      rzsz.zoo "zoo" archive or the rzsz1et2.sh shell archive.

SEE ALSO
      rz(1), sz(1)

NOTES
      The source file minirb.c has been ruthlessly pruned to simplify uploading
      without benefit of any file transfer protocol.  Do not reformat or add
      tabs to the source file as this would complicate uploading.

      Minirb uses 8 bit checksum which may not be compatible with some programs
      claiming to support YMODEM batch transfers.

      Minirb uses the YMODEM header file length information to avoid storing
      extraneous characters.  Minirb deletes carriage returns and CPMEOF (^Z)
      characters encountered in uploaded files.

      Minirb calls stty(1) to set and reset raw tty mode.
