- XPR is a standardised base on which to build modem transfer protocol
- libraries. For this reason there is no xpr.library, only libraries built
- around the XPR concept (xprZModem.library, xprZedZap.library etc.)
-
- And there is no xprMaster.libary either, though there _is_ an
- xpkMaster.library - perhaps you are getting XPK and XPR confused. XPK is a
- standardised programmers' interface for compression algorithms, and has
- nothing to do with XPR, other than the fact that they both aim to create
- a standard. In this respect they have both succeeded to a certain extent.
