I have uploaded to SimTel, the Coast to Coast Software Repository (tm),
(available by anonymous ftp from the primary mirror site OAK.Oakland.Edu
and its mirrors):

autown14.zip    Automate your Internet sessions - fast

AutoWinNet automatically gets new files from the Internet, downloads
them for you, allows posting USENET messages, getting and sending your
E-Mail, obtaining World Wide Web pages, all without being home.

It adds onto to your current Internet software, allowing you more
free time to do the things you really want.

Works on a SLIP/PPP accounts - It will be up and running in two
minutes.

Our goal is to help YOU obtain more free time and enjoyment from the
Internet, rather than being imprisoned at your computer for hours.

Therefore, AutoWinNet hammers at the site until he gets on (you can
configure how many times to hammer, and the pause between retries)

You can keep hundreds of mailing lists (customers, friends, associates)
and automate messages to any of these.

Instead of wandering through a newsreader, choosing, reading/writing,
wouldn't it be great to post usenet messages automatically?

You can subscribe to daily stock reports, White house
updates, Yanoff's Internet list, plus tons more.  Just click the
button and Automated Internet takes care of the rest.

I thought it would be great to get WWW pages off-line.  (no graphics)

AutoWinNet includes an Internet PKZIP/LHA/ZOO/ARC/ARJ file manager.
Add, delete, extract, comment files, view files, etc.

Also creates charts/graphs of your Internet file lists and advanced
reporting capabilities.

Your files are kept in a database for easy management.  Export to
EXCEL's .XLS, Microsoft's .MDB, Borland's .DB, or Dbase's.DBF format,
query the database for new files, delete files older than XX
days/months/years, alter files per site, find files with any text
string.

Special requirements: PPP or SLIP account

Changes: New features include graphical buttons, faster operation and
setup program with animated graphics and internal sounds.
