yes it has... i use it here quite regularly... it's how i verified that i had
all the avaliable fidonews' in my archive and how i update my satelite tracking
TLEs every night... plus how i grabbed the entire TCP/IP v4.1 programming
reference in html off of one of ibm's devcon servers some time back <<>>
currently, i have wget-1.5.1 dated feb 1998... it's been working great...
ummm... url.. humm... i first got it in one of the fernwood areas... older beta
version... [still digging] ahhh... here we go... quoting from the docs...
hopefully it's still good info...
