Hello,
if the main difference between chg-mtx and chg-zd-mtx. is only "The
mtx program must support commands such as `-s', `-l' and `-u'. If the
one you've got requires `status', `load' and `unload', you should use
chg-zd-mtx instead", is it possible to just add a variable like
UseFullOption = yes or no and complete StatusOption, LoadOption and
UnloadOption with the good choice "-s" or "status", "-l" or "load" and
"-u" or "unload", and use them when the script call mtx.
Is it too simple ?
