Not that I know of. > * Who maintains Zodiac? How can I contact them? Me, mostly, but not the plugin part. The Zdc socket streams are binary. If you wrap them with a ZnCharacterReadStream (and a proper encoding) you get #nextLine , #upToAll: and even #match: Sending #asString to a ByteArray is wrong (as it implies a null decoding).
