Yes, it works, because i packed the files manually.

I took at look in the language definitions files, there was maxpipe defined
on UNIX, and i did undefined, so now it runs '/usr/bin/zip -j -q  /*.*' and it's quite wierd because
Squish is doing just greate with my Compress definitions.

It just doesn't work :( Ztelnet works with all BBS Systems, and it doesn't work :(

My suggestion is that we use sz/rz (lrzsz) for zmodem transfer on UNIX platforms..
