This is the latest version of MultiXfer (V0.3a2).

MultiXfer is a telecommunication application in which I implemented
a protocol based on X.25 allowing someone to make simultaneous 
upload/download/chat (this is the kind of protocol used in MCS).
While in simultaneous upload/download, protocol efficiency is
at his best being as good as 3 times faster than XModem and
50% better than ZModem (which is considered the fastest protocol
available).

MultiXfer is a Mac-to-Mac serial-to-serial file transfer utility. 
This means it can transfer files between two Macintosh linked by
modems or a null cable.

One of the major feature of MultiXfer beside its protocol is its
ability to turn your Macintosh into a host computer letting other
peoples under MultiXfer call your Mac, receive, send, catalog files
and navigate through the directories of your disk without any
human intervention.

There is also a VT-52 terminal implemented into the application
and it is MultiFinder friendly (can be used in background).

Most of the changes to V0.2 are related to the terminal emulator.
The VT-52 terminal emulator has been designed to be functionnal
for baud rates ranging from 1200 to 9600 bauds.
