Many thanks to M.Gleason for writing this wonderful program. This version
was incredibly well done and a joy to work with.

Time for a new program.

NcFTP was extensively rewritten by Mike Gleason requiring major porting of 
a curses libary to get it to work. However, once the curses libary was in 
place things went very smoothly.

In the ./man directory is ncftp.man & ncftp.man.print. Which include normal
documentation and documentation with underlining left in for the printer... :)

Binary gets and puts work very nicely, I'm not so sure about ascii.

Only a home variable is required for this version. Set all your information
by typing "prefs" the first time you start up.

The documantion specific to Win95 will be rewritten as the program 
stabilizes.

Run the ppp1.reg & ppp2.reg files. On several systems I have tested, these 
correctly setup TCP/IP Setting for the Microsoft TCP/IP stack. These may not
work on your system.

Colon mode has worked on my limited tests. It only gives a progress reports, 
but no other informative messages.

The program now properly holds the time stamp of the downloaded file and
can detect and existing file. I need to find an FTP site that has the REST
command to test aborted retrieves...

The locking method has been rewritten so that it properly detects an already
runnning instance. I'm not positive this works, but it looks good. :)

The environment variable HOME is now required. This is to avoid leaving 
./.ncftp directories all over the place. Also, this will correctly update the
init files no matter the location of the startup.

Less is available, and the program is tailored for it.

Known Bugs:
ls required.
^C to abort crashes program. (I does abort the transfer :> )
To log into a specific directory from the command-line, you must close the
  directory name with a closing '/'
When using the '!' shell command, the character used to close the shell is
sent into the program. I don't understand and am looking into it.
I don't beleive that testing of data and time works correctly on less 
sophisticated FTP deamons.

Look at ftp://ftp.cs.unl.edu/pub/ncftp/ for the latest version of the unix
program and unix source code.
