Batch FTP is a script for Peter Lewis' Anarchie program. It allows a user
to batch-download a list of files (such as one generated from a new or
recent files list) from an FTP server. Before you dismiss this script with
others of it's kind, read on...it has some features I haven't see elsewhere.

Features:
---------
* Handy: Files to be downloaded don't need a full path. You can specify
one base path that will apply to all files in the list.
* Smart: Automatically retries minor errors.
* Customizable: Remembers the base paths for up to 4 of your favorite sites.
* Easy: Options to use the preferred info-mac or umich sites specified by
Internet Config

Version History:
----------------
2.61 - Public Release 12/25/96. Fixed bug introduced by using "geturl."
Should be fully compatible with Anarchie 2.0.1 now.

2.60 - Updated BFTP to work better with Anarchie 2.0:
* Uses "geturl" instead of "fetch url" because "fetch url" doesn't name
files correctly under Anarchie 2.0.
* Handles Anarchie's new window naming scheme (BFTP 1.6 would not close
windows when retrying under Anarchie 2.0)
* Added the ability to retry in errors that require user intervention.
