The thing to notice here is that the last character in the file has an ASCII value of x where x is the number of bytes in the last 128 byte block which are the end of the file itself. BITD, watching the bytes go by at 300 baud was the geeky thing to do and when we saw that repeating byte, we knew we were at the end of the file transfer... because we were goofy like that... at least some of us were... guilty! 😎

Funny to see this rolling after 37 years! Still in service and doing exactly as it was designed to do..
