We should not deny our debt to the ancestory of the original `nc`. I tested the `ftp` facility only now, after using `mc` since DOS+nc-days. Amazingly convenient ! Since `mc` can communicate via the 'inet-stack' can I use it to test the <loop-back>/127.0.0.1, since my inet-connection is expensive. I want to test a certain front-end [an also mc] for mail via some MTA which does send-authorisation, eg. sendmail [which is a monster to configure] so I don't have to use this inefficient web-based gmail. BTW I think that nc's <append marked block to a file> is better than mc's <over-write to a file>, eg. when you want to extract multiple blocks to the same file. And yes, the window-frame sizeS are a mess for `nc` and <console> on the 'new Win/s', as I discovered when I had to buy a Win7 netbook to connect via a wireless modem. IMO Win is amazingly crappy, in general.
