I have a couple changes I'd like to make to zwrite for a future release:
1) an option to not interpret `.' on a line by itself as special (this
would allow the sending of certain files which would be truncated under
the current implementation)
2) an option to ignore the delivery response. This would make zwrite
more useful in maintenance scripts where the delivery message is
ignored. Additionally, if there is a zephyr server service
interruption, this option would allow the script to complete operation.
Any comments or suggestions?
John
