If you are going to go to that trouble, why not replace the RECEIVE with a pipe? I created a RDRDBLK stage long ago to detect and handle various forms of input (Netdata, print, punch) as input. Coupled with whatever output stages you need, you can do almost anything, even pack the files, all with a single write.
