Yow. That was formatted badly.

Yes, indeed, it was. NotesMail 8-( . Out of my control.

I use Wget ("http://antinode.org/dec/sw/wget.html";). Of course, I
may be biased. I don't use it, but for a single file, cURL should
also
be suitable. (There appear to be many simple (one-step) methods
available, any of which would be more fun than the ones you've found
up
to now.)

If you have complaints about Wget, let me know.

[Quotation fron the Web page cited above.]

Does this work with/ is this available with/ Multinet?

I've heard no complaints in recent times, but that proves little.
(Or, on comp.os.vms, is that "prooves"?) Long ago, the builder gained
some code to detect and accomodate MultiNet, but if MultiNet's UCX
emulation is ok, it might work as well (or better) if that stuff were
disabled.

Actual satisfied and/or dissatisfied users are welcome to comment.
I'd guess that (given good UCX emulation) the kit's executables would
just work. One way to find out. I currently have enough variables on
my junk collection to satisfy myself, so installing a different IP
package is not high on my list of fun tasks soon to be completed.


I second that. I cannot test, so I was asking for experience.
Experienced response is still welcome.

If you have complaints about Wget, let me know.
