I believe you are referring to a response from me to someone. I forgot that
rzsz now checks to see if it is being invoked to run on /dev/tty. If not it
exits with an error message. A number of people have published patches to
make newer versions of rzsz to work using stdin and stdout. I believe I
have seen patches on sunsite. Check with the Seyon stuff. I have kept
using a very old version of rzsz that does not contain the restrictive
copyright.
