OK, so I have a communications program which supports the CTB's file
transfer tools (though not the terminal emulators, oh well).  When I
got it, I thought, "Gee, this is great, in a few months I'll be able
to use ZModem, and Sealink, and WXModem, and anything!"  Not that I
even know what half of those are, but they show up on the BBSes I
call.  (Bimodem would be nice, too!)  :-)

  Well...it's been a few months, and I have yet to see even one file
transfer tool show up at Sumex or anywhere else.  Are they that hard
to write?  Or is nobody working on one?  Are there a few somewhere,
that I've just missed somehow?

  If not, well...how much is the CTB documentation, and how hard are
they to write?  (It would be nice if Apple had some sample code to
distribute, but somehow I doubt they do....)
