Yesterday I used Aterm to do an Xmodem transfer of an
MS-DOS .EXE file directly from a 5 1/4-inch floppy disk
to a remote MS-DOS system.  It ran fine on the other end.
I'm using CrossDOS and am quite impressed with it.

My 5 1/4-inch drive is an original Commodore 1020.  I have
heard people complain of problems when using other 5 1/4-inch
drives, though.
