I've found that there are a few changes that have to be made to the
source to make the XtoZ program work. One was the sending of the EBON
command before expecting responses. I put this in the initialization
routine, and cleared anything else sending in the buffer beforehand.
There also seems to be a problem with the file transfer routines, but
I've been hard-pressed with other things so I haven't really looked into it.

Hope this helps you a little.

BTW: I was working on getting it running on an Amiga under the Amiga OS.
