 Which version? I haven't seen any version that does that. Well, except for
one I wrote myself a few years back ;-).

 Yep, it sure don't. Cygwin's netcat package is the original avian.org
version, there's a GNU version (hosted at sourceforge) that was forked from
that, but AFAICT neither of them know about a -X switch, and GNU netcat uses
-x to indicate that hexdump output is wanted, so I'm really curious to know
what version you're using and where it comes from. Oh, and could you post the
-h output please?
 cheers,
