ie a zero length file, fts-6 does mention that zedzap is an extension of
z-modem in that it is capable of sending a zero length file ie zinit-zfin,
but doesnt explicitly say that this is what is done. doing it is no
problem, you can do anything in delphi, just as long as you know what you
have to do (:
