WXTERM is a terminal/file transfer program for MSDOS that does
Windowed Xmodem and Xmodem protocols.  The WXTERM.ARC as distributed
did not include source code.  I believe this is written in Turbo
Pascal and originates with some folks associated with the "PLINK"
(People Link) service.  It is public domain and distribution is
encouraged because they want to see more people using the WXmodem
protocol.

On CP/M computers we have no implimentation of ZMODEM (which I
consider to be a better protocol for the new high-speed modems and
packetized networks).  I had hoped that someone would write a Zmodem
program but none seems forthcoming.  The protocol seems too complex to
try to write an assembly-language version for CP/M.  Compiled "C"
versions are too big to fit in most people's transcient program space.

The only alternative seems to be to go to WXmodem.  Does anyone have
the latest Turbo Pascal source for it?  I'd like to try to convert it
to run on CP/M.
