DISCUSSION

XMODEM Tool 1.

XMODEM Tool 1.1 has been improved over ther XMODEM Tool 1.0.2 in the following ways:
Improved reliability -- XMODEM Tool 1.1 is less susceptible to protocol violations, line-noise, and corrupted bytes.
Performance increase of up to 400%.
There were a few cases when sending with the XMODEM Tool 1.0.2 where it would not wait correctly for the receiver to acknowledge successful receipt of a block. XMODEM Tool 1.1 fixes this problem.
Some improvements for System 7, including support for creating a new folder when saving a downloaded file using Straight XMODEM or XMODEM Text transfers.
With XMODEM Tool 1.0.2, a dialog claiming that there wasnÍt enough disk space to receive a file would appear when receiving with the MacBinary method if the actual data received wasnÍt MacBinary. Now when non-MacBinary data arrives, the transfer switches to Straight XMODEM.
Serial Tool 1.0.2
When using the Serial Port Arbitrator included with AppleTalk Remote Access, the Serial Tool 1.0.1 would inform the user that the selected serial port was in use, even when no other service was using the port. From that dialog, holding down the Option key was the only way to allow the user to override the ñbusy portî message.
The Serial Tool 1.0.2 properly allows the user access to the serial port when the Serial Port Arbitrator is installed and the serial port is not in use by another service.
