     Description:

	VMODEM is  the VMS version of the UMODEM program which uses the
     XMODEM  protocol  used on many micros.  I've included this program
     because  the VAXNET program now supports this protocol and you may
     wish  to  use  this program instead of the SNDRCV program for file
     transfers.  The XMODEM protocol has better error checking than the
     SNDRCV protocol but only allows sending or receiving a single file
     at a time.  It also has the advantage of running on UNIX where the
     SNDRCV program does not.

	This  version  of VMODEM has been significatly rewritten to be
     more  reliable and more efficient. Previously when sending files,
     the  program  used  single  character  writes.  Now  the transmit
     buffer is constructed and written with one write.

	The  main  reason  for  this rewrite was due to the capability
     added  to  the  native mode MISH program which generates files in
     binary format via the /XMODEM quailifier to be used with VMODEM.

	Also,  the  start  of  the send and receive routines have been
     modified  so  the  user  can abort VMODEM by typing CTRL/X (CAN).
     Previously, certain conditions would make it impossible to abort
     the VMODEM program.
