NH> What is an "rpm" file, anyway.

WM> That question would really be more appropriate for the LINUX echo.
WM> But as long as I'm answering, just this once...

This made me realize that you're correct... I should sign up for the 
Linux echo.  Can you suggest an OLR and Telnet client with Zmodem that I 
can use in Linux.  I see from your tagline that you're reading Fido from 
the same source I am so I would think that you have information on the 
goods I need.

WM> Generally you'd use the "rpm" command, or one of its GUI front-ends.
WM> If you're not using an RPM-based system (like Red Hat or Mandrake),.

There were three choices of systems from which to choose when I 
downloaded the binaries.  From this last sentence I would have to say:  
"woohoo, count one for the good guys".

NH> The download was 2.79 MB.  I downloaded it in my Windows system.

WM> Why?

Because I haven't configured the communications' facilities in my Linux 
system yet.  I'm just lazy, I guess.
