Is this true?

YMODEM = XMODEM + 1k packet size + CRC checking + multiple file
         transmit ability.

That is, if I have a choice between XMODEM-1k and YMODEM, do I use
YMODEM only if I need the multiple file transmit ability?

Can anyone recommend a text which explains the history and differences
and advantages of various telecom protocols (X/Y/ZMODEM & Kermit)?
