RE: Comments in an FTP input script

I thought I was being smart.  It's the corollary to 'Linux is free only if
your time is worth nothing.'  So much for me using sound bites.  It's not a
critique of the software, more like a comment that integrating new code
always takes time as I learn the details (wherein the devil lies).

I agree.  But it sounded like Rick was very close with his existing
approach, and re-engineering so late in the cycle can take time.

For what it's worth, I was able to get the software to FTP to and from my
own iSeries and Windows PC running WAR-FTP in about an hour after
downloading it.

Sorry for the slight.  It was completely unintentional and wholly
undeserved.
