I've checked the following ftp-clients:
Cute FTP (Windows)
FAR filemanager (Windows)
FTP Commander (Windows)
MS Internet Explorer (Windows)
WS FTP (Windows)
Fetch (MacOS)
Anarchie (MacOS)
No problem with listing or such was occured. So I thing we can consider those
changes harmless. Or, if we want to be double-sure, we can introduce "-h"
for turning on current behaviour and "-h -h" for the new one (do you need the
corresponding fetch if this way is more preferable?).
SY, Alex
