+Subject:  NcFTP 1.6.0 - Alternative User Interface for FTP
+
+Archive-name: ncftp/part01
+Environment: UNIX, ANSI-C, !SVR4
+Supersedes: ncftp: Volume 39, Issue 53-57
+
+NcFTP - Alternative user interface for FTP
+Version 1.6.0 by Mike Gleason, NCEMRSoft.
+
+I used to list the features of ncftp in this blurb, but there are just
+too many to list.  Even if you only ftp occasionally, it is worth your
+time to install ncftp (or atleast bug your sysadmin to).  If you won't take
+my word for it, just ask around, or extract this archive and read the
+man page.
+
+1.6.0 is an "evolutionary" upgrade, which consolidates all the previous
+patches and adds a little.  1.6 and 1.5 are "interim" versions between
+2.0 which has been suspended indefinitely due to time constraints.
+
+Major changes since 1.5.6:
+
+* Built-in support for the "term" package, used by Linux, etc.
+
+* SCO Xenix, Besta, AIX 2, AIX 3, Dynix/PTX support
+
+* Better ISC Unix support.
+
+* Several bug fixes.
+
+
+Major changes since 1.0.2:
+
+* Supports the Getline (input-edit) and GNU Readline command-line
+  editing and history libraries.
+
+* Supports the Socks firewall library, and another firewall gateway
+  implementation.
+
+* Terrific new "recent-sites" file that automatically saves the
+  sites you call;  when you open a site in the recent-sites file
+  (of course you can abbreviate the names), you start in the
+  same directory you were in last time.
+
+* Improved on-line help, and tips on how to use the program better
+  are printed each time you run the program.
+
+* Rewritten man page.
+
+* Faster ascii transfers.
+
+* Typing 'open' by itself lists all the sites the program knows
+  about (the ones in your .netrc and the recent-sites list) so
+  you can just pick one.
+
+* Enhanced colon-mode, that can dump a file to stdout (ftpcat mode)
+  or to a pager.  (i.e. ncftp -c wu:/README >/dev/null).
+
+* You can choose whether an open is anonymous by default (like it
+  had always been) or a user login by default by setting a new
+  program variable.
+
+* Bugs fixed.
+
+Read the enclosed file, v2_Notes, which explains why I won't be
+able to work on the nearly finished, and much improved v2.0.
