XPRascii came with the original distribution docs with XPR 2.0 from Willy
Langeveld.  It is there only as an example, though it could be improved to
make it a full-fledged ASCII send/receive.  I have not seen and XPRxmodem
anywhere, though I have cut doen on my net connections, so this might be
old news.  Steve Walton is working on a much improved XPRkermit (current
version is still like my original beta that worked on anly one comm at a
time), and when the last few bugs are fixed will be made available through
the usual channels (i.e. usenet, BIX, etc...)

I have not seen one of these, either.
