- cisdownload @(#)Download CIS LIB file with XC JPRadley 20 May 92 vers 0.1
- Assumes System-wide preference for B+ set in GO PROFILE.
- Assumes Prompt character in all Fora is ^H.
-
- Could use more checks. Providing a non-existent Forum, or one which one
- has not joined; providing an incorrect or inaccessible LIB number;
- providing a non-existent filename: all of these will cause failure
- while the meter's ticking.
- But if "all systems are go", then this should save a few pennies.
