You can find the XPR protocol specification on the mail server at
	MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA
You will find XPRSPEC.ZOO in the [Amiga.COMM] directory.  There are also
sources included in XPRZMODEM-210.LZH, XPRXMODEM.LZH, and XPRKERMIT15.LZH.
Please be aware that XPRkermit does not allow multiple processes to use the
protocol at the same time, something BBS operators should be allowed to do. 
Watch for this limitation if you use it as an example.
