- Well, that is what he asked, (check above) so that's what I answered.

- Now that is a different one.Hmmm, you could use the ncftp -m option
- but that would mean all files get displayed. Hmmm, how about some
- little tool that the output of ncftp can be piped into and that
- checks if it's binary of plain text. Then saves the binary and
- shows the text. Should not be that difficult using whatis.library.
- When I have some more time, I'll look into it.

- Take care
