Technically XMODEM-1K lacks the YMODEM block 0 header with file name, size, and other metadata. I had an employer that fastidiously stuck to this and it caused no end of annoyance that you had to deal with files quantized to 128 or 1024 byte multiples because YMODEM was just too complicated to implement 25 years ago. YMODEM is fine if you want something simple. Don't ever do XMODEM.
