So of course I'm going to have a go at it myself. To do that I need an Ada implementation of the xmodem protocol. The only one I've found is at[1] on AdaIC; it was produced by Westinghouse in 1988 under a DoD contract. I can't see anything in the way of copyright or license terms, so I wonder if I can use it in my project? (which I would normally release under GPLv3).
