While it looks pretty good on a good transfer, the resumption feature is flawed. I interrupted a transfer from my Unix site, and upon restarting, PCZ reported the existing file and said it was appending. What I got was 2 files... the first, aborted transfer, in a file names BA0, and the remainder of the original file (contents of the second transfer) in a file named BAZ (the correct original filename). Not quite what I had expected... -- _R_o_y _M_. _S_i_l_v_e_r_n_a_i_l | UUCP: uunet!comcon!roy | "Every race must arrive at this #include <opinions.h>;#define opinions MINE | point in its history" SnailMail: P.O.
