Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2666 (TRANSFER PROTOCOL)

-----
It all depends on what software you have, if you have Ymodem then by all means
use it but don't go out and buy it just because somebody says it's better than
Xmodem.  On that second question... I've never heard of Xmodem-ck however that
sounds like a abbreviation for "checksum" which is the standard error checking
scheme for Xmodem as opposed to "CRC" (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which we won't
get into because it's not supported by most systems including this one.
 
Bottom line... Xmodem is the standard transfer protocol!  -=Robert=-
