This is "portable" on most Unix-like OSes, yes. In fact, this is exactly how Synchronet supports x/y/zmodem transfers using stdio protocol drivers (like lsz/rz) on Unix-like OSes. On Windows, a protocol driver is expected to support socket I/O directly (not via stdio stream) and accept an inheritable socket descriptor (e.g. via command-line argument) on which to send and receive data.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããRush quote #51:ãSuddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark uponãNorco, CA WX: 89.7øF, 30.0% humidity, 7 mph S wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
