   We have John Romkey's code here at Maryland in source form, and enhanced
   under the IBM contract.  This is probably better than you can get from
   FTP software, and at a surely lower price...Glenn

Yes, the IBM-funded source is available to UMD, and a few other schools with
relationships with Big Blue.  Since the only details I've seen on what your
package contains/does refer to the version that Yorktown productized, I can
only say that ours has more hardware drivers, and more programs than IBM's.
The only one they have that we don't is POP.
