Well, you have the source code.... I don't see the problem if your requirements are different than the folks that wrote it.

The idea is that you'll write it to _another_ drive or another partition with space. They didn't think that _your_ idea of "another drive" would be one via netcat. :=)

Use the source, Luke...

Or, does the filename of, say, '-' (a dash), work as expected?
