Would some kind soul please post a detailed pseudo-man-page on how to
use FTP from cica to obtain executable and other interesting things?

This would include, for example, how to connect, how to find out what's
there, how to download, and how to terminate the connection.

Once on your system, how do you unpack or unzip (and where can the
unpack or unzip executables be obtained)?

Question:  how "safe" are the cica modules?  Is anyone checking them for
viruses or worms or is it just "caveat executor"?	

Thanks.

  Can you accept an out of state sanity check?
