At the risk of helping to swamp one of my best sources of ibm binaries,
here's a the script I use on my BDS 4.3 host to retrieve things from
nodak.  It's called "nodget" and I have it in $HOME/.bin.

	cat << EndOfFile > $HOME/.bin/nodtemp
	To: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu
	Fcc: nodget
	
	/PDGET  MAIL ${1} ( UUENCODE
	EndOfFile
	send -push $HOME/.bin/nodtemp

It's invoked something like;

	nodget 'pd1:<msdos.zip>dezip20.arc'

which constructs the request, sends it, and leaves a copy in a
special mailbox for me to verify/remember the request.
