Hello Wilfred!

 WV> Which doesn't seem to cause problems, as far as I'm aware of...

As long as the inbound at the destination system gets processed, that's fine.
If not, it will run out of filenames there since trying to rename 12345678.WEZ
to 123345678.WE0 will most likely fail.

My tosser stops packing when reaching WEZ. It saves the prepared PKTs for
later compressing. However, that's turned OFF here anyway.
