Speaking of FTP, has anyone implemented RESTart?  Restart requires MODE C
(compressed), which is a simple repeated-byte-packing algorithm.  I
checked radc-tops20's FTP server as well as several flavors of Unix FTP
servers, and none of them support Compressed mode... :-(

Several times I have gotten part of a .5 Megabyte file, and REST would have
been a *real* big help.
