Regarding the magic munge file transfer
mentioned by Mike Shafto, I have also
seen something like that. We have business
software that prints to local printers by
telneting to a dos session the output directly
to lpt1: So I think, cool, this is a nice little
file transfer program I'll make a handy
little programming environment by tweeking
some of the parameters and then up and down
loading the modules. I was disappointed that
that the transfer also did something with \
and { and } (curly braces). It would also
impact C programmers as well. So I'm just
sticking to a plain vanilla FTP for the time
being. When things get so smart, they're dumb.
Chris.
