If memory serves, these are actually both degenerate forms of Zmodem;
the Zmodem protocol is designed that it MUST be able to fall back on
X/Ymodem...  [At least that's what I remember from the protocol docs I
have somewhere...]  So, take a closer look at XPRZmodem.library and
see if it also offers X/Ymodem...

By the way, Xmodem, Ymodem and all the variations on them (windowed,
batch, 1K, CRC, etc.) are all only slightly different enhancements to
the basic Xmodem protocol, and all of the elements are incorporated in
the Zmodem protocol.  (which is I think why it is supposed to be able
to fall back; Xmodem is much simpler than Zmodem.)
