John,

Have you played with /a?
....
But I did just now. Hmm. Under XP it does not seem to make a difference
if I use it on a single file or not. Ether way the ctrl-Z EOF, if there,
is removed.

It took me a while to realize that it could maybe be usefull on the
receiving end (if "/a" strips the ctrl-Z on sending it might also detect it
while receiving and end the copy process). Alas, a test just now showed it
made no difference (the copy process still gets stuck).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
