Yes and no.  FreePascal has a Java compiler so you can write your program in
Pascal but compiles into Java.  I don't know how well it works but might be
something.

You tap on fTelnet's "MENU" button and select "Download", IIRC.

I knew Chuck Forsberg way back when (I lived about 20 miles north of him). 
He told me on several occasions that Zmodem was not designed to be used over
telnet and to use YModem/YModem-G instead.

Yes, it would be.  I have little interest in such a project as I don't use
my phone for much else besides talking and texting.  Maybe someone else will
pick up the mantle from here.

Later,
