Thank you.  It will take a lot of time to retest, and I'll be busy next
week, so please be patient.

By the way, I think there are candidates for removal among those scripts -
ucpio and ftplist.

ucpio is obsoleted by the internal cpio support in mc VFS.  The extfs
version is even commented out in extfs.ini.  ftplist is obsoleted by the
hotlist, which can store FTP directories.

I'm asking you because you have done some testing of those scripts, so you
probably have an informed opinion.

They work.  I'm not planning to audit error handling - I have more
important priorities now.  I'm trying to work on the problems that are
actually reported by users.
