I've just placed a new version of the WATTCP FTP program
on sunee.uwaterloo.ca in pub/wattcp/ftp.zip

This version fixes about half of the problems people have
mentioned.  You may want to keep a copy of the old version
in case I goofed up and my preliminary testing didn't show
it.

Changes:
   includes simple command line scrollback.  nothing exceptional
   but certainly better than before

   remote (often Unix) and DOS filenames are done a little more
   intelligently.  If you only specify either source or destination,
   FTP now removes path and drive information from the implied
   parameter.

   And when a remote name has multiple extensions and you are
   using mget or just an implied DOS destination file, the new
   DOS extension is created from the first letter of each
   extension and then filled out to the full 3 letters.

   eg.   timely.tar.z          becomes  timely.tz
         alt.grasshopper.tar   becomes alt.gta

   mput/mget bugs fixed.  Small enhancement, when you are mgetting
   a bunch of files but forgot to set noninteractive mode, one of
   the accepted answers to the prompt is R for rest of files
   non-interactive.

   ls now works in binary mode.  Pretty stupid bug!

I am looking at all the other suggestions already sent in, just
this is all I have done so far.
