From: Richard Conn <RCONN at SIMTEL20.ARPA>
David Towson (towson at amsaa) has contributed an excellent tool
called "GET20" -- it is now in the MICRO:<UNIX.TOOLCHEST> directory on
SIMTEL20 in the files AUTOFTP.DOC (documentation), GET20. (Bourne
shell script), and BEHEAD.C (utility source). For those UNIX systems
on the DDN, GET20 provides a very convenient way to transfer masses of
files from SIMTEL20 with ease. For instance, the command
get20 -a unix unix.crclst
transfers (as ASCII) the file UNIX.CRCLST from the MICRO:<UNIX>
directory on SIMTEL20 to a file of the same name in your current
directory. Likewise, the command
get20 -8 cpm.zcpr3 *.com
transfers (as 8-bit binary, automatically reformatting all ITS-binary
files to their normal format) all *.COM files in MICRO:<CPM.ZCPR3>.
David reports that he transferred all 185 files in MICRO:<CPM.ZCPR3>
in one command as a batch job when he was not logged in.
I've tried it, and I really feel it is an excellent tool.
Rick
