No. CBTTAPE.org packages in XMIT format and does not require NJE.
RECEIVE is required.
That's even worse. You need to use the OUTDA() operand on XMIT to create
an intermediate file. Then move the file in some way (FTP? Haha!) and
then RECEIVE. A _minimum_ of one additional step!
And why oh why must you specify node.userid when using OUTDA() anyway?
Seems like OUTDA() was an afterthought and nobody had the time or could
figure out how to make the node.userid positional parameter optional for
that situation, so they just left it. <sheesh!>
