RE: ncat suggestions...‏

[the_chill <malte_simon () hotmail com>]

The changes make it more easy for a netcat or sbd user to work with ncat...
and reduce the need of typing.

-z is the zereo i/o mode in nc so it will be the same if I type in ncat
--send-only --recv-only or if I type ncat -z

I thought name -i and -d for the delay between sends but I don't recognize
that -i is in use.

O.K. it is not the same but it will reduce the typing and in practice -l -k
is just an "improved" way of handling such a thing compared to netcat's -L.

kk all right

maybe you can use -rX to make ncat rewpawn in x secs.

Logging of input and output

nice

will the  -D option make ncat to run as deamon on win systems? If not SBD
got this future maybe ther code can help you.

it would be nice if the options (-h) are shown in alphabeticel order and if
you run "ncat" then the error message and the conetent of -h should be
shown.
