This is an XPR 2.0 implementation of the ASCII protocol.

There's nothing really fancy about it..(-:

Configurable options are:
 `char delay'
 `line delay'
 `line-feed translation',
 `carriage-return translation',
 `uuencode/uudecode files'
 `delete received uudecoded files'
 `expand blank lines',
 `prompt char'
 `strip high bit'


(C)har delay:  C<ticks>
-------------
A numeric value in ticks (1 tick = 20msecs) which causes XPr-ASCII
to wait (also called "pacing") before transmitting each character. 
Values between zero and 500 (10 secs) are valid.
(default: 0).


(L)ine delay:  L<ticks>
-------------
Milliseconds to wait between the transmission of each line
of text.  The same limits of the character delay option
described in the previous section apply here.
(default: 0)


Carriage-(R)eturn translation:   R<n|s|x|a>
------------------------------
The three options available determine how an incoming carriage
return is to be handled.  You can either do nothing via the
(N)one option, (S)trip it, e(X)change for a linefeed <LF>,
or (A)dd a linefeed <LF> character to it.
(default: "None")


Line-(F)eed translation:   F<n|s|x|a>
------------------------
Like the CR transl. feature described in the paragraph above, you
can also select how an incoming linefeed <LF> character is to be
translated.  As above, you can leave it alone (None), (S)trip it,
e(X)change for a <CR> or (A)dd a carriage return <CR> character to it.
(default: "None")


(U)uencode/decode file when sending/receiving:   U<0|1>
----------------------------------------------
XPr-Ascii gives you the chance to uuencode binary-files `on the fly'
when they are sent. It's possible to uudecode files after receiving, too.
(default: off)

*
*   FUNCTION
*       These programs/functions are primarily for use with electronic
*       mail systems such as FidoNet and UUCP.
*
*       UUEncode sort of encrypts a program so that the output will only
*       contain printable characters, thus allowing you to post a binary
*       file in a message area.
*
*       UUDecode does the opposite thing: it decrypts an UUEncode'd ASCII
*       file into its binary origin. It is *NOT* necessary to cut out the
*       UUEncode'd part of a message in order to decode it - just pass the
*       whole msg to UUDecode.
*
*       Please note that UUEncode doesn't perform any kind of compression!
*       In fact, any UUEncode'd file will be *at least* one third bigger
*       than the original file, due to the loss of information by convert-
*       ing the file to ASCII.
*
*       Please also note that not all moderators welcome UUEncode't files
*       and remember that a lot of people will be paying money for down-
*       loading your messages - so use it with care, huh? :-)
*       The encode file has an ordinary text form and can be  edited
*       by any text editor to change the mode or remote name.
*
*       This version of uuencode  automatically  adds  checksums  to
*       each  line,  and  an overall file size to the end.  Old ver-
*       sions of uudecode will ignore this  extra  information,  new
*       versions will check it and complain if it is in error.



(D)elete uudecoded file:   D<0|1>
------------------------
Delete received uuencoded ascii-file after uudecoding.
(default: off)


(S)trip high bit:   S<0|1>
-----------------
Use this option if you want the high bit of each character
reset that is received when using 8N1.
(default: off)


(E)xpand blanks:    E<0|1>
----------------
When this feature is selected, XPr-ASCII will send one space
character for lines which contain only an end-of-line
character.  Use this option when the on-line text editor
you're using exits its input mode whenever a carriage return
is received without any text preceding it.
(default: on).


(P)rompt char:    P<char>
--------------
Instructs XPr-ASCII to wait for a specific character after
transmitting a line of text.  If blank, text is sent continuously
without interruption for the duration of the transfer.
special chars are:
 \0    = null   (prompt-char option is disabled)
 \n    = newline         (ASCII 10)
 \r    = carriage return (ASCII 13)
 \\    = backslash       (ASCII 47)
 \dNNN = Any decimal ASCII-value  fe: \27  Escape (ASCII 27)
(default: null {=\0}).
