I have seen recent net articles indicating that Red Ryder's XMODEM will NOT work
with XBIN, and indeed it won't.  However, I'm a bit confused since it SEEMS
to indicate that it will work with the MacBinary format.  Isn't that the non-
standard XMODEM used by MacTerminal?

Also, I can't seem to get RR's KERMIT Receive to work when I put my VAX's
KERMIT in SERVER mode, pick the 'Receive File - KERMIT' item from RR, and
type in a filespec.  It sends 1 block and I then get a dialog box indicating
that the transfer failed, but NO idea as to why.  Any ideas?

TO SCOTT WATSON (RR's author):

You have done a marvelous job on RR, but I wonder why you have not make it
workable with XBIN.  There are obvious advantages to letting the host un-binhex
the file and just place the application file (document) on the Mac's desktop
for you, without the extra binhex step.

Also, a comment:  when talking to the DEC Terminal Server in VT100 mode, there
is some (unknown) problem that prevents the terminal server from understanding
the commands sent to it.  When I put RR in the TTY mode, all works well.

Do you have any experience with this?
