JK> Hmm.. you could probably write a batch file, something like:

JK> wget http://www.filegate.net/ipfn/i-binkd/BINKD.TXT copy BINKD.TXT
JK> c:\binkd\

OK, I'll check into that.

Curl? Never heard of it, but I'll check.

Except for the forward slashes (OS/2 still uses backslashes), that's exactly
right. At present, I use

include \\fido\\bin\\binkd\\binkd.inc

in my binkd.cfg to include the binkd.inc (my include file). Luckily, you can
use things like that (without the drive letter) in OS/2, as it makes my life
much easier (my fido computer runs on OS/2, but I do a lot of things -
including writing messages like this - via network from my "main" WinXP
computer. It would be difficult to use drive letters in the various
configurations.

No hurry, I'll be keeping this in mind and will work on it in my spare time.

OK, and if you import Ward's segment, that should present no problems.

Thanks again for the comments, and the tip on the binkd.txt file.

Cheers, Bob
