I've been playing around with REXX and simple Internet tasks for 
a while, and figure I might as well announce what I've done with it.

The utilities currently only number two:

ngfetch.cmd - get list of newsgroups

urlget.cmd - get files via HTTP or FTP by URL

The former will retrieve groups with or without article number 
information.

The latter is primarily useful for grabbing files, but it will also 
store whatever information is sent from a HTTP URL, provided you 
give it a filename to store it as (CGI scripts, default indexes, etc.) 
The FTP is accomplished via REXX Sockets, not the REXX FTP library, 
so resumed transfers are supported.  

Both utilties display transfer progress.

Object REXX is required, as is the RxSock.dll library.
