Hello,
        I have been poking around various bulletin boards and have seen
some things I would like to down-load.  I only have KERMIT on my RAINBOW
and many (most/all) of the places I've been looking only support XMODEM.
Could someone out there summarize the XMODEM protocol please?  I understand
it is a half-duplex protocol so I should be able to implement a XMODEM
receiver with TURBO PASCAL very easily using standard DOS calls.
        Thanks in advance,
                        Paul Hsieh

PS
I had earlier asked the net about KERMIT v2.29+ for RAINBOW and whether
the vt220 emulation supports character insertion.  From what I can tell,
the answer is no.  This is transparent under VMS because VMS never uses
this feature, though UNIX editors like VI and EMACS do.
