Jan Prikryl's compilation of WGET that is friendly to VMS FTP servers is
now available at:

    http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/mirror/wget.htm#vmsftp

Have been using it for a month(?) or so and it seems to be
quite solid on the VMS FTP servers.

Does the latest WGET have support for all these different
FTP servers using that patch discussed recently (memory is
going?)

Lachlan.
