Not sure Dave, and welcome to the list.  I hope you "stick around".

The last .lzh I got from Randy was sc23ed6.lzh, and its a single binary 
file, no readme's.  My coco3 is in the basement, and I'll try to 
remember to run it to see if there is any more data in its sign on 
credits.  Tomorrow.  I also see that "find" found an SPRCOM22 archive 
and I'll look at that too. I believe I also put a copy of that 
sc23ed6.lzh on my web page, same location as below.

I still use it occasionally just because of that.

There is also, a hacked up version of the Brian Marquette vt100 driver 
that I bought up to vt-220 compatability probably 20 years back, and I 
added the zmodem stuff it it at the time too.  Its in the Genes-os9-stf 
link of my web page in the sig if that would do you any good.  So is the 
final version of rzsz3.36 ever done for the coco, which I built, 
throwing in a speedup trick or 3 at the time.  I think thats been copied 
to most of our archive sites, but I don't think vt-220 was similarly 
blessed as it was largely post BBS popularity time when I did that. What 
I needed at the time was a vt-220 emulator to serve as a sub for a blown 
vt-220 on a DEC PDP11-23 system at the tv station. DEC wanted $3900 for 
a vt-550 they would not guarantee could replace the vt-220.  I don't buy 
pigs in a pokesack.  So I did what I had to do. :)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
