I'm going through stuff trying to transfer things from my CoCo to my MM/1, and
in the process (a rather hairy one; I think I'll go to some trouble to avoid
having to do anything with the source of rz and sz; a shame, because the
versions I have appear to have comm paths wired into them for some reason), I
found something interesting.  I have two programs that, apart from some
character string constants, are identical.  The programs in question are "xfr"
and "xym."

Somebody appears to have changed the banner, including the author's name, and
distributed the program; a rather tacky thing to do IMHO.  Anyone out there
know for sure who really wrote this program?  I've kept the one that had
"protocol" spelled correctly in the banner, but that's just my personal bias. 
I'd really rather keep the version that correctly attributes the authorship.
