Wenwu,

Thank you.  The "-overwrite" option doesn't work as it should in the
FILE and STDIOFILE actions.  I've fixed it and it will be in the next
release.

Considering the usage of the LDM, I would be extremely surprised if the
LDM was modifying files.  I consider it far more likely that the files were
modified before being given to the source LDM or that they were modified
by the LDM decoder at the receiving site.  To be convinced, I would need
the following:

    The original file.

    Proof that the original file was given to the source LDM unmodified.

    Proof that the file was received correctly by the receiving LDM.

    Proof that the file was unmodified by the LDM decoder at the
    receiving site.

    The received file.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
