Well, I've fixed that flaw and put the code for ftp in
uunet!~/ClariNet/dynafeed.tar.Z.  But I have been kinda disappointed
in the low response from people trying it out.  I guess that in part it is
most useful to people with phone links rather than nntp links, and these
people don't have ftp.   So if you are trying it out, let me know, and if you
want me to mail it to you, send me some mail.
