Re: EOL

Lin,

I'm running that script now -- it seems to be downloading stuff.

I tried using Yahoo's download manager; it took my request a day or so
back, and today told me my download was ready -- when I went to get it,
though, it also said there was nothing available for me. The description of
Yahoo's Download Manager as "woefully incomplete" seems correct. Maybe it
would work better for Fred, as the moderator.

*sigh*
