Russ, the idea you put forth about the integrity check is indeed a good one.
The best part about it is that it doesn't really require any modification to
the existing spec (if I read it right). I also agree with date/time being a
necessity, and to reserve space at this time would be good. I also think that a
decision should be made early as to the format of the date/time fields so that
this extension would also be terminal dependent, to be implemented as the term
author sees fit.
Has there been any further discussion concerning the format of the header to
indicate that it is a multiple file transfer?
