Zmodem-CP-M

This repository is intended to foster a RetroBrewComputers community effort to port the original Zmodem source code for Unix to CP/M so everyone can use Zmodem for file transfers and modify source code as needed for their specific platforms. Binary programs for Zmodem (sz & rz) are available but without source code available making modifications extremely difficult if not impossible.

The proposed environment and toolset for this effort is z88dk. The plan is to build the CP/M Zmodem application using the following steps

zcc +cpm sz.c -create-app

zcc +cpm rz.c -create-app

z88dk can be obtained here for Linux and Windows https://z88dk.org/site/

Due to the age of the original Zmodem source files for Unix (1986) many of the constructs used in them are obsolete. Files which many years ago used to be commonly available are no longer available so the code will need to be adjusted or suitable replacements found. For example, the code "includes" both termio.h and signal.h which appear to be obsolete based on the original SysIII/SysV Unix. Possible replacements from the era are included in the file set but do not appear to be correct.

Unix signals not supported in CP/M

rz.c and sz.c include the signal.h header file but CP/M does not support Unix style signals. Need to make adjustments to code to replace this functionality with equivalent for CP/M
termio.h doesn't provide correct defines

the termio.h is "included" in rbsb.c but is not available in z88dk environment. Obtained similar vintage termio.h file from SysIII/SysV archive but does not provide expected defines resulting in compilation errors. Need to obtain different termio.h or make adjustments to match expected values
BUFSIZ is undefined

BUFSIZ is undefined leading to error during compile. Normally BUFSIZ is defined by c compiler environment for standard IO and varies depending on environment.

from https://c-programming-know-how.blogspot.com/2014/03/what-is-bufsiz.html

"BUFSIZ is a constant macro representing the size of the input buffer. It is defined in stdio.h and represents the size for your C implementation. ANSI C requires that it be at least 256 bytes."
