xprxmodem.library -- version 34.2


This is an XPR 2.0 implementation of the XMODEM protocol.

based on bmodem: the BIX modem program by David Betz, BYTE Magazine/BIX
		(Modified substantially by W.G.J. Langeveld for use in VLT)

The desire to move the seldom used xmodem protocol out of VLT, while
maintaining the functionality to those who needed it, motivated this
XPR implementation.

There's nothing really fancy about it.

Configurable options are: Text Mode, CRC, and 1K blocks

They default to "off" (T0,C0,K0).

This can be overridden by a environment variable, "XPRXMODEM", containing
a setup string, of the following format:

3 fields seperated by commas. The first character of every field is the type,
one of:
	T (text mode), C (crc), K (1k blocks).

The second char is either 0 or 1, expressing the boolean state of the
option.
	examples:

	T0,C1,K1 --> text mode off (binary mode), crc on, 1k blocks

	T1,C0,K0 --> text mode, crc off (checksum), normal 128byte blocks

The user might also be prompted for such a string when XProtocolSetUp() is
called, if the comm program does not provide the xpr_options callback
function.

If xpr_finfo is implemented in the terminal program, then it is used
to get the file type and the Text Mode field in the setup string is
ignored.
