in reply to File Transfer between c and perl sockets

In the past, STX and ETX have been used to indicate the Start and End of TeXt. There was also an associated Start Of Header or SOH. So a normal message might have been

SOH Header goes here STX Text goes here ETX

In my experience with Poll Select transactions on a 3201 line, ETX was also used as an end-of-file marker that was followed by an 8-bit checksum.

    I'm puzzled as to why this node has been --'d. As far as I know, the information is accurate. If someone can suggest why it is unpopular, I'd appreciate it.
