Hmm. Until Joe mentioned it, I had never heard of ncftp. I barely
have the time to read the CSA2 hierarchy, much less a bunch of
general unix/www/net groups with much more traffic. I really don't
mind learning something new on here once in awhile about the 'net,
as long as it can be directly applied to retrieving appleii info,
or something of that nature. Something like this improves my
productivity, and gives me more time for other things. Makes me
wonder what other gems are out there that I'm missing...
