I droped these files into the same directory as the EXEs and everything 
worked fine. The filenames get transfered correctly. The only error I still 
get is for the ini file for the parser, but that doesn't seem to have an 
impact.

I will keep an eye for the next version and I'll try to keep you posted. :)

I may try the transfer on a bigger/more important repository later if there 
is interest from the higher powers (this one got me a 350M dump file).

Anything you would like me to report on?

Thanks all (for the new encoding feature, the help, and the enc file),

Constantine "Doc" Dokolas
