I'm pleased to announce the first public release of lukemftp; version 1.0.
It can be found at:
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/lukemftp/lukemftp-1.0.tar.gz

Here's the `README'.

WHAT IS LUKEMFTP?
-----------------

`lukemftp' is what many users affectionately call the enhanced ftp
client in NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org).  The `lukem' comes from
the account name of the NetBSD developer who wrote most of the
enhancements: Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org>.

This package is a `port' of the NetBSD ftp client to other systems.

The enhancements over the standard ftp client in 4.4BSD include:
	* command-line editing within ftp
	* command-line fetching of URLS, including support for:
	    - http proxies (c.f: $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy)
	    - authentication
	* context sensitive command and filename completion
	* dynamic progress bar
	* IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
	* modification time preservation
	* paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
	  (c.f: `lpage', `page', `pdir')
	* passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
	* `set option' override of ftp environment variables
	* socks4/socks5 support
	* TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (c.f: `gate')
	* transfer-rate throttling (c.f: `-T', `rate')
