Do an ls x* to see. ---------- The source for xmodem came from the Simtel archives at White Sands Missile Range. If you wish to reproduce the source files, do the following: Get in your local directory where you will want to keep the source. Then: Type ftp 26.2.0.74 and then: login: anonymous password: guest ftp> get pd2: xmodem36.shar (The file xmodem36.shar will be got. Then...) ftp> bye xmodem36.shar is a shell archive. Extract the sources by typing /bin/sh xmodem36.shar Then type: make to make the executable module. Move the executable module to wherever you want it (/usr/local/bin is a good directory for it).
