Hello.

Thanks. I've heard of that before.

I believe Windows is a more popular platform for DJGPP these days. I have no
plans to include wget for DOS with zippo at the moment. This is mainly because
it's more complicated to set up than wget for Windows, Which Just Works. I
would, however, add wget for DOS and some documentation to the zippo
distribution on how to set wget for DOS up, if someone else is willing to do
the legwork. Currently zippo shouldn't need any source code changes - just
drop wget for DOS into c:/djgpp/share/zippo/dos/wget (where c:/djgpp = your
DJGPP directory).

Regards,
