I would like for individual users to be able to "publish" texinfo
documents, making them available on their host.  Other users can
browse these documents as if they were local.  This would require a
certain amount on network smarts to be transparent.  Perhaps a
standard subdirectory of each nodes anonymous ftp tree could be used,
e.g. ~ftp/texinfo.  A local texinfo application should be able to
fetch the Index of each document separately, so that it can provide
Menus without transmitting the entire document.

I have a utility called ftpget that makes it easy to retrieve files
programmatically, which I am including below.  -David-
