No, it would not! You have to request the service more explicitly.
Sending/receiving are exclusive-ors. '-s' requests sending, if there
is no '-s' in the command line, then it means 'receiving'.

This either sending or receiving is a limitation caused by the
identical input/output file names. Remember: input files are named
'000*.msg', output files too.

That's correct... If you have a look at YarnIo, you will see, that
you can also start sending/receiving concurrently. You simply have to
use different sub-dirs and then start two VSoup-commands (start...).
