File RLOAD.EXE

The ZY program itself, ZY.EXE, is never included on the boot diskette. Instead, a simple FTP client retrieves the executable from the ZIY computer. This allows the ZY executable to be placed in a central location where it can be easily changed without any need to alter the boot diskette. The RLOAD.EXE file is a command line utility, written in C using the FTP Software PC/TCP Software Development Library. It can be easily run from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The command line syntax of RLOAD.EXE is as follows:

where:

host	The host name of the FTP server (usually the ZIY)
user	Specifies the user name with which to log on to the FTP server
passwd	Specifies the password for the account used
hostdir	Specifies the path to use when retrieving the file
remote	Specifies the name of the file to retrieve
local	Specifies the name under which to store the retrieved file.

Of these, parameters host, user, and passwd may be omitted if the DOS environment has the variables ZIY, USER, and PASS defined (see subsection A.2.4).
